This is the first book of problems in organic chemistry in twenty years or more. Most teachers of elementary organic chemistry agree that there is no better way for a student to make the new language andmyriad details of organic chemistry a part of himself andto become aware of the interrelationship of classes of organic compounds than to solve many and different types of problems. The book contains 29 chapters, an answer section, a list of “name” reactions, references, and an adequate index. The first 28 chapters are arranged according to classes of organic com-pounds in the classical order of most organic textbooks. Each chapter is headed by an excellent systematic discussion of nomen-clature stressing the IU C. but including also other systems and common names. Then a short outline of the methods of preparation, physical properties, and reactions of the class of compounds under treatment is presented and followedby a series of problems. These problems illustrate (I) naming of organic compounds;(2) writing formulas from names;(3) preparative methods;(4) syntheses;(5) balancing of oxidation-reduction equations by a simple method of equating the electron change for the number of oxygen atoms theoretically necessary to ox-idize one molecule of the compound to the electron change of the specific oxidizing agent used;(6) determination of structure from quantitative and qualitative data entailing a review of the cal-culations of inorganic, qualitative, and quantitative chemistry;(7) methods ofdistinguishing organic compounds; and (8) some of the theoretical aspects of the science. Chapter 29 consists of 80 identification or structure problems of varying degrees of difficulty. Allof the problems are answered concisely in an answer section following Chapter 29. Enough explanation is given in each answer to enable the student to follow clearly the reasoning of the authors and to edit his own accordingly. The answers to some of the problems depend only on material included in this book, but to solve many of the problems the student, is forced to refer to his own and other textbooks, to tables of physical constants, and to other reference books. The “name” reactions list which precedes the index is a helpful guide in this connection.
