About This Textbook

This textbook is designed for a two-semester, sophomore-level course in organic chemistry in which biological chemistry takes center stage. For the most part, the text covers the core concepts of organic structure, structure determination, and reactivity in the standard order. What is different is the context: biological chemistry is fully integrated into the explanation of central principles, and as much as possible the in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems are taken from the biochemical literature. Many laboratory synthesis reactions are also covered, generally in parallel with their biochemical counterparts - but it is intentionally the biological chemistry that comes first.

I would recommend this book combining both volumes (I and II) included for University/college level chemistry for first- and second-year chemistry/ bio-chemistry courses. It is written in simple language that is easy to understand for the begi...„

Overall, it is an interesting and useful book. With large amounts of examples from living systems (amino acids, peptide, protein, enzyme, sugar, etc), students have chances to learn, understand and apply organic concepts into biological reaction c...„

I would suggest combining Volumes 1 and 2 into a single textbook; that way, individual instructors could pick and choose the order of topics that would best suit their organic chemistry course. The chapters do not have to be in the desired order, ...„
