Features: This book serves as a textbook for pharmacy and related biomedical, pharmaceutical majors in Chinese universities. The first seven chapters primarily introduce the nature and applications of fundamental organic synthesis reactions such as halogenation, alkylation, acylation, condensation, rearrangement, oxidation, and reduction. The eighth chapter focuses on synthetic design principles. To highlight the basic features of reactant skeletons, functional groups, or chemical bond changes in drug synthesis, each chapter is organized by the reactions of different functional group compounds. Based on elucidating the mechanisms of various reactions, the book discusses the relationships between reactant structures, reaction conditions, and reaction products, while also introducing their application characteristics. Most reaction examples are annotated with main reagents, reaction conditions, and literature sources. Each chapter concludes with a reference list and approximately 150 references. At the end of the book, there is an important abbreviations table and an index of significant named reactions and reagents, enabling readers to consult the book from different perspectives as needed. In addition to serving as a teaching text for faculty and students in pharmacy, biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical engineering, and organic chemistry departments, this book is also a valuable reference for researchers, technicians, and professionals engaged in biomedical, pharmaceutical, drug synthesis, and other fine chemical fields.
