Organonitrogen Chemistry (Oxford Chemistry Primers) Book

This title introduces an undergraduate reader to organic chemistry involving nitrogen. There are three main sections to the book each being introduced by a summary of the underlying chemical principles. The main organonitrogen functional groups are covered systematically each chapter concluding with a brief summary of the chemistry.

Nitrogen plays a key role in all areas of organic chemistry, from DNA and proteins to pharmaceuticals, dyes and polymers. Despite the large application of this element, there are just a few key principles underpinning its chemistry. This concise volume covers the principles of organonitrogen chemistry in a discussion of all the main organonitrogen functional groups. It develops the concepts logically under three distinct sections, providing a clear overview of the synthesis, reactions and properties of nitrogen compounds.
