As a result, I have decided to post it on the internet. I want it to be available to students and faculty for studying and teaching organic chemistry. So far, I have posted the chapters that are in reasonable shape. More will follow as I continue to edit them. I apologize for the hand-drawn figures, and hope to replace them with figures like those in Chapter 20 after I get the majority of the remaining chapters posted.
You can access the book directly through the links on this page. They also lead to biographical information about me. The thumbnail version of my biography is "I retired from a 35 year position in the chemistry department at UC Riverside in 1998 and moved to Santa Barbara where I now teach part-time at UCSB".
My greatest fan and supporter, through all of my efforts to be an author, has been, and continues to be, my wife Pat! Without her encouragement I would have abandoned all of this a long time ago! Thanks, Patty! Love you lots!
