The modern approach to teaching and practice of organic chemistry represents the integration of traditional principles with molecular biology. The new emphasis firmly demands the study of organic chemistry teaching from its application to biochemical aspects, drug development and pharmaceutical aspects. The proposed organizational approach of the book will build from the principles of organic chemistry for example study of functional groups metabolic reactions, functionalization reactions, applications of spectroscopy, reactions and reagents and chemistry of natural products to their integration into pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. The proposed book in likely to be modern, readable and an interesting blend of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, and would be useful for graduate students of both organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. The book has four principal aims: * Explains the principles of organic chemistry using biologically important molecules * Studies the chemistry of Natural products laying emphasis on general methods of structure elucidation, structure, synthesis and biogenesis from different classes of compounds * Useful for students of pharmacy covering the organic chemistry component * To face and excel in interview/selection committee in the subject of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry
