Organic chemistry for medical students


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT PROF. BARGER has written this book through the conviction that the chief reason for including organic chemistry in the medical curriculum is to provide a basis for biochemistry.


Necessarily, therefore, the book contains a good deal of matter which will appeal mainly to the medical student in his later years of study. It may be felt, indeed, that an attempt has been


made to include too much within the space available, and that such advanced topics as stereoisomerism, glucosides, and heterocyclic compounds are reviewed before the ground has been


sufficiently prepared. Even without increasing the space allocated to the more elementary sections of the subject, the treatment could be made clearer for the beginner by the adoption of an


improved system of paragraphs and headings, and by the more frequent use of illustrative diagrams. Organic Chemistry for Medical Students. By Prof. George Barger. Pp. xi + 249. (London and
