The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part A covers fundamental structural topics and basic mechanistic types. It can stand-alone; together, with Part B: Reaction and Synthesis, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity for students and exercise solutions for instructors. From the reviews of the fifth edition:

"Carey and Sundberg had written the most detailed and briliant account in the subject of organic chemistry. ... The book provides an abundance of reaction examples organized in schemes. It makes studying very effective and helpful. ... Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will welcome this new edition and the depth of materials covered."
