Features: This book pays special attention to introducing various modern theories directly in the initial chapters, allowing scholars to become familiar with the concepts at an early stage as a foundation for understanding reaction mechanisms. Additionally, the book provides a more in-depth introduction to topics such as spectroscopy and pericyclic reactions. The concepts and principles of resonance theory and aromatic transition state theory are also elaborated in detail. In later chapters, the book offers a certain depth of coverage on reactions and compounds related to life processes. Given the increasing integration of chemical science, particularly organic chemistry, with biological sciences, it is necessary to appropriately strengthen this content. The material covered in modern organic chemistry is exceptionally rich, and making appropriate selections can be quite challenging. With limited space and academic hours, the authors have made thoughtful choices to exclude some relatively outdated content while maintaining the depth and breadth of essential material, aiming to present the subject in an accessible manner that facilitates the establishment of concepts and the summarization of principles.
