Overview
========

With its  Student Workbook CD-ROM and  new case studies, the  Fifth Edition of
this  acclaimed self-paced  review enables  you to  master the  principles and
applications of organic  functional groups. Moreover, it prepares  you for the
required  pharmacy  courses  in  medicinal chemistry  by  thoroughly  covering
nomenclature, physical properties, chemical properties, and metabolism.

As you  progress through  the text,  you'll develop  such important  skills as
drawing chemical structures and  predicting the solubility, instabilities, and
metabolism of each organic functional group.
