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.
Professor Sundberg is primarily engaged in teaching and chemical
education. Along with Francis A. Carey he is the author of
“Advanced Organic Chemistry. Professor Sundberg is also
interested in synthetic methodology in heterocyclic chemistry and
is the author of “Indoles” in the Best Synthetic Methods Series
(Academic Press, 1996).
From the reviews of the fifth edition: "Advanced Organic Chemistry ! the well-known textbook for graduate students -- has now appeared in a 5th edition. ! Carey & Sundberg will be interesting to all students who seek a detailed understanding of organic chemistry, and who wish to refresh and embellish their existing knowledge. On the strength of the scope and quality of the explanations, this pair of texts is recommended for use as the resource of first resort for specific research questions in one's later career."
