Foundations Of Organic Chemistry OCP 87

Provides problems to challenge and support second year A level students and students beginning university courses in chemistry and biochemistry. The answers to the problems are expanded to reinforce the basic principles, and the authors have used a wide variety of natural compounds and contemporary pharmaceuticals to illustrate these. This book provides problems, with answers and tutorial guidance, on the organic chemistry encountered by students in their last year of A-level and at the beginning of undergraduate courses in Chemistry and Biochemistry. The layout of the book runs parallel with that of the successful Foundations of Organic Chemistry by the same authors. The first three chapters cover basic physical organic chemistry, setting the scene for the mechanistic organic chemistry covered later. The problems are accompanied by useful hints, and the answers with tutorial comments which reinforce the chemical principles involved.
