A modern, streamlined organisation emphasises unifying principles of reactivity, offering an economy of presentation and discouraging memorisation

• The text consistently highlights the fundamental reason for all chemical reactions – electrophiles combine with nucleophiles — in order to keep students focused on the key ideas.
• Students are introduced to synthetic and retrosynthetic chemistry early on, allowing them to grasp multistep synthesis from the beginning.

The textbook bridges the gap between organic chemistry and biochemistry

Because bioorganic chemistry is the bridge between organic chemistry and biochemistry, the text emphasises that the organic reactions that chemists carry out in the laboratory are similar to those performed by nature inside a cell. These connections are especially important to biological science majors.

• In Chapters 1-20, the bioorganic material is presented as “interest boxes” and within the last sections of the chapters so that this material is available to the student without requiring the instructor to introduce bioorganic topics into the course.
• Chapters 21—26 focus on the organic chemistry of living systems. These chapters have the unique distinction of containing more chemistry than is typically found in the corresponding parts of a biochemistry text.

• Chapter 21   Amino Acids, Peptides, And Proteins
• Chapter 22   Catalysis In Organic Reactions And In Enzymatic
• Chapter 23   The Organic Mechanisms Of The Coenzymes, Compounds Derived From Vitamins
• Chapter 24   The Organic Chemistry Of The Metabolic Pathways
• Chapter 25   The Organic Chemistry Of Lipids
• Chapter 26   The Chemistry Of The Nucleic Acids
