Organic Chemistry Guide to Molecules

Book Synopsis: Organic Chemistry Guide is a concise, yet comprehensive book, which helps you to understand the course and grasp the big picture. The principles are introduced in an easy-to-follow manner, while nearly 200 figures help you on the way to success. More than 600 problems with solutions makes learning efficient, and develops practical skills to tinker with organic molecules and reactions.The book is addressed to students of chemistry, biology and medicine, as well as to the self-taught science enthusiasts.
