For Classes:

This adapted version combines Solomons and Fryhle’s approach to Organic Chemistry with IIT-JEE requirements and is now part of Wiley’s Maestro Series. The book is aimed at three problem areas of Organic Chemistry - problem-solving, visualization of structures and understanding of mechanisms. The well illustrated reactions with elaborate and stepwise explanation of their mechanisms combined with a concise and easy-to-understand text help students master the basic concepts of the subject.
