Features: This book is a revision based on the "Organic Chemistry" published in 1994. It can be used as a textbook for chemistry departments in comprehensive universities and is also suitable for related majors in other institutions. The book is divided into twenty-two chapters, with functional groups as the main line, and introduces a mixed system of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. The content includes the structure, reactions, and relevant mechanisms of various organic compounds, synthesis, applications, and physical methods for determining the structure of organic compounds (UV, IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and 2DNMR, MS). It also covers heterocyclic compounds (biological alkaloids), pericyclic reactions, organic synthesis, and natural products such as carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, lipids, terpenes, and steroids. When explaining each chapter, the book emphasizes the relationship between the structure and properties of each type of compound, introduces the mechanisms of important organic reactions along with relevant stereochemistry, and attempts to connect organic substances or reactions with biological organisms to make the content more engaging and easier to understand. The book contains an appropriate amount of content, with exercises at the end of each chapter for readers to practice.
