图书介绍

At the beginning of its history organic chemistry was perceived as a branch of natural science dealing with a specific type of compounds, namely, those isolated from organisms, living or fossils. But pretty soon our great predecessors, who laid the foundations of organic chemistry, found themselves engaged in a feverish drive aimed at the synthesis of hundreds and hundreds of compounds which never before existed on this planet and have no resemblance to natural compounds. At that time, it came as a startling observation that this newly-born science may serve not only as an instrument for the discovery and study of natural phenomena, but that it is also capable of creating a wide variety of unnatural compounds, an entirely new object of exploration and practical utilization. Since then, owing to cumulative activity of several generations of chemists, more than a dozen million new compounds have been prepared and, as a result, at the end of this century we live in a world which is composed, at least to a significant extent, of artificially created substances and materials.
