Publisher's Synopsis

Aimed at advanced sixth form and beginning undergraduate students, this book presents the foundations of organic chemistry. The first chapters introduce some basic physical chemistry and lay the groundwork for the mechanistic organic chemistry covered later in the book. The importance of bonding and mechanism is stressed throughout, and students are encouraged to apply their chemical knowledge in new and unfamiliar situations in order to develop and sustain their interest. A range of examples including natural products and parmaceuticals is included, with the last chapter exploring some new developments and providing an introduction to current research.
