This text provides a first introduction to the fascinating world of organic chemistry. Each chapter deals with both the practical and theoretical aspects of organic synthesis. A rigorous treatment of the underlying principles of all major classes of reactions are given, followed by a discussion of the applications, history, development and discovery of these pathways. Students are made aware of the impact organic synthesis has on everyday life, and of the elementary logic and simplicity of organic chemistry.
