Available for the first time in Achieve, the highly respected Organic Chemistry, 7e is rooted in scholarly tradition, and informed by chemical education. Organic Chemistry helps students achieve a relational understanding of organic chemistry. Loudon and Parise emphasize how key organic chemistry concepts relate to one another through a functional group organization and mechanistic reasoning to help students understand the “why” of reactions.
The 7th edition has been rigorously updated and continues to be a trusted reference for instructors, with the most up-to-date research and the highest standard of accuracy. Hallmark features including an elegant writing style, masterful problems, and biological applications are retained and enhanced by Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning system.
Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full flexible range of instruction, including resources to support learning of core concepts, visualization, problem-solving and assessment. Powerful analytics and instructor support resources in Achieve pair with exceptional Organic Chemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Supporting students and instructors without sacrificing the rigor or sophistication of Organic Chemistry.
Available for the first time in Achieve, the highly respected Organic Chemistry, 7e is rooted in scholarly tradition, and informed by chemical education. Organic Chemistry helps students achieve a relational understanding of organic chemistry. Loudon and Parise emphasize how key organic chemistry concepts relate to one another through a functional group organization and mechanistic reasoning to help students understand the “why” of reactions.
The 7th edition has been rigorously updated and continues to be a trusted reference for instructors, with the most up-to-date research and the highest standard of accuracy.

New media and assessment features in Achieve include:
Skills Objectives with accompanying problems at the end of each chapter ensure that students mastered the key concepts.
Animated Problems in Achieve provide practice with visualization skills. Animated Problems are embedded within the e-Book.
LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing assignments serve up low Bloom's level problems to solidify student's recognition of nomenclature and core concepts. The adaptive, game-like learning tool guides students by providing extra practice where they need it
Practice Assessments that mirror study problems in the text allow students to practice study problems and benefit from available hints, feedback and detailed solutions.
Extensive problem library, including over 400 problems from Loudon/Parise’s end of chapter questions.
Features of the text include:
An organization designed for understanding:
An acid-base framework to understand mechanisms. (Although the text is organized by functional group, mechanistic reasoning is used to help students understand the “why.” An understanding of acid-base chemistry is key to unlocking a mechanistic understanding of organic chemistry.)
Tiered topic development. (Complex subjects are introduced first in very simple terms and reviewed later in the text in greater detail.)
New skills objectives for each chapter will guide students in both the print text and Achieve product.
Varied and creative problems
New study problems throughout the text will be mirrored by new questions in Achieve problem library.
Extensive set of problems, written by the author
Animated problems in the Achieve e-book step problems out for students--helping them understand and visualize concepts.
Emphasis on student learning and motivation
A focus on biological applications since organic chemistry has a large audience of students interested in life science.
Analogies are used to tie discussions of chemical principles to everyday experiences students can relate a new idea to something they are already familiar with.
Scholarly tradition
Development process for the first edition was dedicated to research each topic in organic chemistry back to the original or review literature.
Almost every reaction example is taken from literature.
Every edition has emphasized the scholarly development process.

A focus on biological applications
Extensive set of problems, written by the author
“We have used a number of editions of Loudon for our second year organic course. Although each edition has represented a major advance in the presentation of new chemistry, they have all retained the lucid presentation and order of topics that attracted us to the first version. The problems and examples provide excellent reinforcement of the contents of each chapter. The inclusion of modern methodology in the newest edition will prepare students for graduate school and demonstrates the continuing evolution of organic chemistry.” —Robert H. Grubbs, California Institute of Technology
“My colleagues and I have used the Loudon text here at Harvard for a number of years. The latest edition of this textbook refines the author's approach to the teaching of organic chemistry on a mechanism-based approach that was first introduced by Cram and Hammond more than 50 years ago. I consider it one of the premier texts of this generation.” —David Evans, Harvard University
“This text continues to refine the author's characteristically elegant, mechanism-based framework for introducing organic chemistry. Professor Loudon has inspired several generations of students with his clear and insightful presentation style. In no other text does the logic, power and sheer beauty of organic chemistry shine through so clearly.” —Bruce Ganem, Cornell University
“This book is simply marvelous. It has plenty of stimulating illustrations and examples, and its many problems progress gradually from trivial to challenging and instructive. But, most importantly, its exposition is rock-solid, full of the lucid analogies and consistent mechanistic logic that make organic chemistry tractable.” —AMAZON (a student at Caltech)
"From over thirty years in the classroom, Marc Loudon knows how students learn. His problems are the work of a master teacher; they are original, range in difficulty levels, and are all based on real examples from the literature. This edition is clearly a labor of love and reflects Professor Loudon’s desire to give students the very best learning tool possible. This book is a symphony of great ideas and will open students’ eyes to the wonders of modern organic chemistry.” —John Grutzner, Purdue University.
