Organic Chemistry is a well-established two-volume textbook for students studying chemistry at degree level. Volume 2 carries the material of Volume 1: Fundamental Principles to a more advanced level. The author provides a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between physical properties and chemical structures and then proceeds to a detailed account of stereochemistry. The later chapters are devoted to the most typical compounds of natural products and the problems involved. A selected number of reading references are given at the end of each chapter.
