Organic Chemistry: Basic Principles
This chapter builds the electronic-effect and mechanism toolkit — inductive, resonance, hyperconjugation and their impact on stability and reactivity — that underlies every later organic chapter. IUPAC nomenclature and the classification of reaction intermediates (carbocations, carbanions, free radicals) are core recurring exam themes.
