Core Organic Chemistry

This innovative new textbook covers an entire first course in organic chemistry within a single, compact volume. It can be used either as a stand-alone text, or together with a general chemistry, biology or biochemistry book. It provides the essential organic chemistry that chemists need in their first year, as well as all the organic chemistry that students of biochemistry, biology, geology, medical and environmental science are required to know. Equally useful as revision guide and a textbook, it will also appeal to those needing to refresh their knowledge of organic chemistry and serve as a ready reference for essential facts and information.
