Features: Revision and writing of the 6th edition of "Organic Chemistry," emphasizing a student-centered approach, striving to enable students to learn more fundamental theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills within a limited time; fostering students' applied and innovative abilities. To achieve this goal, the main changes made in this edition of the textbook are as follows:
1. Enhanced visual clarity: Most illustrations in the book are printed in color, and abstract and difficult textual content is supplemented with diagrams to simplify complexity.
2. The selection of content in each chapter maintains the systematic nature of organic chemistry while highlighting its connection with medical courses. The book remains 19 chapters, but Chapter 19 from the 5th edition, "Introduction to Organic Reactions in Living Organisms," has been removed, and a new chapter, "Coenzymes in Metabolic Pathways," has been added. This chapter aims to serve as a bridge between fundamental organic chemistry and biochemistry.
3. "Special Reading Materials" are introduced in the form of text boxes in Chapters 2-17 to broaden knowledge and enhance students' reading skills.
4. The content arrangement of the book emphasizes progressive knowledge, making it convenient for self-study. Chapter 19, "Coenzymes in Metabolic Pathways," involves complex compound structures and is placed in the appendix, serving as self-study material for assessing applied abilities.
5. Considering the varying teaching hours across schools, some content is presented in small print. The exercises at the end of each chapter are divided into two levels, with exercises after the asterisk () being more challenging.
