Features: This book serves as a foundational textbook for medical, pharmaceutical, and biological science majors in higher education institutions, and can also be used as a reference for research personnel in related fields. The writing emphasizes how to present the overall knowledge framework of the chemistry discipline to medical students. Through this course, students will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry discipline and its key concepts but also develop an overall grasp of the interrelationships between chemistry, medicine, and biology. This helps students recognize that chemistry is a fundamental discipline for biomedical sciences. The book provides commonly used English names of important chemical terms and includes relevant English reading materials at the end of each chapter, laying a foundation for bilingual teaching in subsequent courses. The total number of teaching hours for the entire book is 320 hours, with the first volume covering 150 hours and the second volume covering 170 hours. The book consists of 15 chapters (Chapters 12–26). Chapters 12–23 focus on organic chemistry, covering fundamental knowledge, basic theories, and core concepts, including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, as well as nitrogen-, sulfur-, and sulfur-containing compounds. It also provides necessary introductions to the fundamental substances of life, such as lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, terpenes, and steroids. Chapters 24–26 primarily introduce separation techniques, instrumental analysis, and the four major spectroscopies (including mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy). These chapters focus on the qualitative, quantitative, and structural analysis of organic compounds, incorporating content that traditional textbooks may not cover but is essential for biomedical students, thereby adapting to the evolving demands of pharmaceutical and biological disciplines.
