This book is a revised and enlarged edition of B. A. Pavlov and A. P. Terentyev’s widely known textbook of organic chemistry. Several sections and subsections have been completely rewritten by Professor A. P. Terentyev, who has also edited the book as a whole.
The theoretical sections have been supplemented with an exposition of the modern concepts of single, multiple, and conjugated bonds, benzene structure, orientation rules, catalysis, tagged atom techniques in organic chemistry, etc. Special attention in the presentation of the factual material is given to compounds with practical applications in the national economy. New information has been included concerning synthetic polymors, plastics, chemical fibres and dyes, as well as organosilicon, organoarsenic, and organophosphorus compounds.
BORIS PAVLOV, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, is a well-known lecturer in general, inorganic, and organic chemistry. He has written several valuable books on teaching methods is the author of the textbooks ORGANIC CHEMISTRY and INORGANIC CHEMISTRY for teachers' colleges.
ALEXANDER TERENTYEV, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., is Professor of Organic Chemistry at Moscow University. The founder of the Soviet school of organic analysis, he has considerably enriched this field of chemistry with new reactions, techniques, and apparatus. His work in the sulphonation of organic compounds has won him the National Prize.
Alexander Terentyev is a leading authority on the stereochemistry of organic compounds. He is the author f a special course in the stereochemistry of organic compounds, which has become part of the curriculum of the Department of Chemistry at Moscow University. His numerous books include THE STEREOCHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, CHEMICAL LITERATURE AND HOW TO USE IT, and ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. He has written more than 400 scientific papers, which cover a wide range of subjects in the fields of heterocyclic compounds, physiologically active substances, and complex compounds.
