PREFACE t is our hope that in writing this Study Guide and Solutions Manual we will make the study of or- ganic chemistry more meaningful and worthwhile. To be effective, a study guide should be more than just an answer book. What we present here was designed with that larger goal in mind The Study Guide and Solutions Manual contains detailed solutions to all the problems in the text. Learning how to solve a problem is, in our view, more important than merely knowing the correct answer. To that end we have included solutions sufficiently detailed to provide the student with the tery of the material. Both fill-in and multiple-choice questions have been included to truly test the student's understanding. Answers to the self-test questions may be found in Appendix a at the back of the book The completion of this guide was made possible through the time and talents of numerous peo- ple. Our thanks and appreciation also go to the many users of the third edition who provided us with helpful suggestions, comments, and corrections. We also wish to acknowledge the assistance and understanding of Kent Peterson, Terry Stanton, and Peggy Selle of McGraw-Hill. Many thanks also go to Linda Davoli for her skillful copyediting.
