Core Carbonyl Chemistry - Jones, John (Lecturer in Organic Chemistry, University of Oxford a Official Fellow, Tutor and Dean, Lecturer in Organic Chemistry, University of Oxford a Official Fellow, Tutor and Dean, Balliol College, Oxford)

This Primer deals, in a brisk manner within a modern mechanistic framework, with the chemistry of the carbonyl group as found in aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acid derivatives. This material is central to all foundation courses in organic chemistry and will be useful to all university students reading chemistry or biochemistry, especially in the first year.
