reactions
of
organic
molecules;
this
approach
is
designed
to
demonstrate
the

New
concepts,
particularly
those
related
to
reaction
mechanisms,
are

integrated
with
the
remainder
of
the
text.
The
chemistry
of
aliphatic
and
aromatic
compounds
forms
the
main

the
chemistry
of
fats,
carbohydrates
and
proteins
are
included
mainly

the
benefit
of
biology
and
medical
students.
The
importance
of
organic
chemistry
in
industry
is
illustrated
by
brief
descriptions
of
many
modern
industrial
processes.
Reference
is
made
to
many
compounds
of
pharmacological
interest.
