Features: This book starts 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 seamlessly integrates concepts, demonstrating strong systematic coverage. Breaking the previous limitations where chemists focused solely on structure and biologists on function, the book organically combines 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 offers insights into the exciting research frontiers of the field. Printed in color and adopting the original book's layout design, it features vivid illustrations and diagrams, making it 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.
