Features: This book begins with the discussion of chemical bonds and introduces relevant applications in nature, biological systems, and the chemical industry when discussing specific compounds and their properties in each chapter. It integrates natural and systematic approaches, breaking the previous limitations where chemists focused solely on structures and biologists only on animals, organically combining structure and function. With the theme of structure-function-reaction mechanism running throughout the book, readers can consistently grasp the main idea, better understand organic chemistry rationally, and lay a solid foundation for studying physical organic chemistry. While helping readers comprehend organic chemistry, the book also brings them the joy of research in the cutting-edge field of organic chemistry. Printed in color and adopting the layout design of the original book, it is rich in illustrations, lively, and highly readable. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in chemistry, chemical engineering, life sciences, medicine, and pharmacy, as well as a reference for graduate students and researchers.
