In order to meet the development of all-English or bilingual teaching of organic chemistry in medical colleges of our country, we are now grouped to edit this book. The sequence of chapters and related contents in this book are consistent to the sixth edition of Organic Chemistry in Chinese which is published by People's Medical Publishing House as a NHO's programming book material. We have applied "three basic contents--basic theories, basic knowledge, basic skills" and "five features thoughtful, scientific, advanced, heuristic, adaptable" to this book. That means precise demonstrations, clear arrangements, visual illuminations and fluent language. The whole book is arranged in a proper and gradual sequence to avoid destroying the coherence or connections of chapters and furthermore unnecessary repetition.
