A medium-sized reference work designed to fill the gap between the smaller and less informative works on organic chemistry of the text-book style and existing multi-volume series which are published in parts over long periods. The contents relect what are judged to be truly important facets of modern organic chemistry. Emphasis has been given throughout to the properties and reactions of all the important classes of organic compounds, including the remarkable array of different compounds prepared by synthesis as well as natural products created by biosynthesis. The information is presented in a concise and logical manner with mechanistic organic chemistry being adopted to provide a constant and correlative theme.
