The book is a concise form and will help the readers to a great extent. Organic chemistry students are often overwhelmed by the number of compounds and reactions. And they wonder whether they can learn all this material in a single year. But most of the-Organic Chemistry consists of a few basic principles and a large number of extensions and applications of those principles. Relatively little memorization is required if the students grasp each major concept and develops flexibility in applying that concept. How much a student learns depends on himself. The arrangement of the subject matter is based on medicinal properties. IUPAC nomenclature of drugs is stressed throughout the book and a separate chapter on common nomenclature is included to develop the students familiarity. Following the nomenclature.
