Product Information

Francis Carey's Organic Chemistry is designed to meet theneeds of the “mainstream” two-semester undergraduateorganic chemistry course. This best-selling text is organizedaccording to functional groups and gives learners a solidunderstanding of organic chemistry by focusing on howfundamental reaction mechanisms function and reactionsoccur. Carey's Organic Chemistry author team have writtenthis text for learners to have a deeper understanding of thephysical concepts that underlie organic chemistry and abroader knowledge of the roles of organic chemistrybiological systems. The text is strengthened by its offeringin ALEKS, featuring Custom Question Authoring, VideoAssignments, Virtual Labs, and more!

About the Author

Francis A. Carey

Francis A. Carey is a native of Pennsylvania, educated in the public schools of Philadelphia, at Drexel University (B.S. in chemistry, 1959), and at Penn State (Ph.D. 1963). Following postdoctoral work at Harvard and military service, he was appointed to the chemistry faculty of the University of Virginia in 1966. Prior to retiring in 2000, he regularly taught the two-semester lecture courses in general chemistry and organic chemistry. 


With his students, Professor Carey has published over forty research papers in synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry. In addition to this text, he is coauthor (with Robert C. Atkins) of Organic Chemistry: A Brief Course and (with Richard J. Sundberg) of Advanced Organic Chemistry, a two-volume treatment designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. He was a member of the Committee of Examiners of The Graduate Record Examination in Chemistry from 1993-2000. 


Frank and his wife Jill, who is a teacher/director of a preschool and a church organist, are the parents of Andy, Bob, and Bill and the grandparents of Riyad and Ava.
