Emphasis on structure activity relationship, molecules in 3-D and spectroscopic methods based on homologous series. Provides a comprehensive coverage of nomenclature, structure and properties of organic compounds including aromaticity, aromatic substitution and orientation and natural products. Also intorduces the reader to pharmaceuticals, pesticides and enzymes. Each chapter accompanied with problems.
