A.N. Nesmeyanov, N.A. Nesmeyanov - Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry - Volume 4 - Mir -1986This four-volume textbook is designed for a systematic study of organic chemistry. The material presented in the book is divided into two parts and covers a considerably wider field than the normal university treatment of the subject. Part One (the first three volumes) is constructed along "classical" lines. Part Two (Volume IV) is intended for attentive reading rather than for close study. Volume IV is devoted to the following topics: organoelement compounds, nonbenzenoid aromatic systems, carbanions, free radicals, carbenes, carbonium ions, elimination reactions, isoprenoids, alkaloids of the heterocyclic series, proteins, nucleotides, and polynucleotides, enzymes.This book has been translated from the second revised Russian edition published in two volumes in 1974. The first Russian edition (in two volumes) was published in 1969.The book may be used for self-study and for reading the course of organic chemistry at universities and chemical higher schools. It will undoubtedly be of interest to post-graduates, teachers, scientists, and engineers working in the field of organic chemistry.Translated from the Russian by Artavaz BeknazarovMany thanks to Ajayji and Neelkamalji for making the book available.Certainly!
