Features: This book is a revision based on the "Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry" published in 1980 (edition). Compared to the previous edition, this book has significant changes in content and chapter arrangement. For example, Chapters I, II, and III have been merged and the content has been streamlined; the chapter on electrophilic substitution of aromatic nuclei has been combined into the chapter on aromatic hydrocarbons; the chapters on synthetic polymers and new methods of organic synthesis—phase-transfer catalysis and the use of dipolar aprotic solvents—have been removed, with only essential content retained and distributed across relevant chapters; given the importance of spectroscopic analysis, this edition provides a more detailed introduction to this section. The chapter on stereochemistry has been rewritten and moved up to Chapter 3, which facilitates the integration of fundamental stereochemical concepts throughout the book and is a key feature of this edition. This book can serve as a textbook for chemistry majors in comprehensive universities and can also be used by students in related fields at other institutions. [Table of Contents]
