Essentials of Organic Chemistry is an accessible introduction tothe subject for students of Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry andBiological Chemistry. Designed to provide a thorough grounding infundamental chemical principles, the book focuses on key elementsof organic chemistry and carefully chosen material is illustratedwith the extensive use of pharmaceutical and biochemicalexamples.
In order to establish links and similarities the book placesprominence on principles and deductive reasoning withcross-referencing. This informal text also places the main emphasison understanding and predicting reactivity rather than syntheticmethodology as well as utilising a mechanism based layout andfeaturing annotated schemes to reduce the need for textualexplanations.
* tailored specifically to the needs of students of PharmacyMedical 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 PharmacyMedicinal and Biological Chemistry.
