Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The molecule on the cover is called dopamine. Although this is a relatively simple organic molecule, it is a major neurotransmitter in the brain. Dopamine plays a pivotal role in the regulation and control of movement, motivation and cognition. It also is closely linked to reward, reinforcement and addiction. Abnormalities in brain dopamine are associated with many neurological and psychiatric disorders including Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia and substance abuse. This close association between dopamine and neurological and psychiatric diseases and with substance abuse make the dopimine system an important topic in neurosciences research and an important molecular target for drug development.

4.0 out of 5 stars
an organic chemistry introduction through mechanisms,
By michon@caltech.edu (Pasadena CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry (Hardcover)
A very good aspect of this book is to present the basics of organic chemistry through mechanisms. It is much easier to memorize a reaction if you can explain it by a mechanism. If you read this book and beside work with the outstanding "Writing Reaction Mechanisms" by Miller et al. you are ready to start with more advanced concepts
5.0 out of 5 stars
Can't miss hit of the summer!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry (Hardcover)
Solomons' Organic Chemistry is the "feel good," hit of the year. A must own for anyone who's anybody!! Scintillating portrayal of pi and sigma bonding orbitals. But of course, the functional groups take the cake...as always
