![]() The order of the material is organized and intuitive. It has most of a normal Ochem I course material I find that I need to supplement a little bit with nomenclature, molecular orbital theory and spectroscopy. Reviewed by Chelsea Gustafson, Assistant Professor, Oregon Institute of Technology on 8/24/20įantastic Textbook! The approach, teaching Ochem with biological examples, is the best that I have found for pre-medical and biological science students. Inclusion of a glossary would be very helpful.Įxcept for minor typographic errors, excellent presentation!Ĭultural relevance is irrelevant for chemistry textbooks.Įxcellent overall textbook for Pharmaceutical Chemistry students. The problems at the end of the chapter are helpful in testing student learning. The principles of organic chemistry governing the biological phenomena are explained very well. Volume 1 could be slighly rearranged to include reactivity of common functional groups (alcohols, amines, carbonyl group compounds, etc.) The discussion on spectroscopy and biomolecules could be moved to volume 2. The book explains the concepts in a concise, consistent manner. The book explains concepts in clear and concise manner. This textbook will serve as an excellent resource in Pharmaceutical Chemistry courses. ![]() Broadening the scope to include additional concepts, such as, Cytochrome P450-based reactions will be particularly useful.Īlthough the book has some typographic errors, the contents are accurate. Discussions on biological molecules (carbohydrates, amino acids, etc.), chirality, carbonyl group reactions, and general concepts of reactivity are particularly relevant to Pharmaceutical Chemistry courses. Reviewed by Amol Kulkarni, Associate Professor, Howard University on 1/30/22Įxcellent textbook for Pharmacy students.
