Parise and Loudon's Study Guide and Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry sixth edition offers the following learning aids:
- Links that provide hints for study, approaches to problem solving, and additional explanations of challenging topics;
- Further Explorations that provide additional depth on key topics;
- Reaction summaries that delve into key mechanisms and stereochemistry;
- Solutions to all the textbook problems. Rather than providing just the answer, many of the solutions provide detailed explanations of how the problem should be approached.
