Organic and Biological Chemistry

With an emphasis on biological applications, this work offers extensive coverage of fields in organic chemistry. It seeks to provide students, especially those in medical, biological and engineering areas, with a full scope introduction to organic chemistry fitting into broader interests related to medicinal and biological sciences. Throughout the text, reaction mechanism, organic structure and analysis, and chemical design are also presented. The work should fulfil the time requirements for one-semester curriculum for freshmen and sophomore students, or alternatively it could be used as part of a two-semester curriculum that has general chemistry as part of its focus.
