This text continues to meet the scope and sequence of a two-semester organic chemistry course that follows a functional group approach. A highlighted list of changes, along with a detailed table of contents and ancillary descriptions, can be found on the Instructor and Student resources sections of this page. John McMurry decided to publish Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition under an open license as a tribute to his son, Peter McMurry, who passed away from cystic fibrosis in December 2019.
