Infos

Essentials of Organic Chemistry is an accessible introduction to
the subject for students of Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry and
Biological Chemistry. Designed to provide a thorough grounding in
fundamental chemical principles, the book focuses on key elements
of organic chemistry and carefully chosen material is illustrated
with the extensive use of pharmaceutical and biochemical
examples.

In order to establish links and similarities the book places
prominence on principles and deductive reasoning with
cross-referencing. This informal text also places the main emphasis
on understanding and predicting reactivity rather than synthetic
methodology as well as utilising a mechanism based layout and
featuring annotated schemes to reduce the need for textual
explanations.

* tailored specifically to the needs of students of Pharmacy
Medical Chemistry and Biological Chemistry

* numerous pharmaceutical and biochemical examples

* mechanism based layout

* focus on principles and deductive reasoning

This will be an invaluable reference for students of Pharmacy
Medicinal and Biological Chemistry.

Rezensionen

"The ease with which the author conveys predictability in
fundamental chemical reaction pathways distinguishes this book."
(Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2007)

"...the textbook accomplishes its distinctive purpose with clear
writing and appropriately selected content" (Journal of Natural
Products, 2007)

"Do you want to add life to your organic chemistry course? If
so, Essentials of Organic Chemistry (1) may be for you."
(Journal of Chemical Education, February 2008)

"...the book is a very good experience of an organic chemistry
mechanistic approach to the study of biochemistry..."
(Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, December 2006)
