Abstract
One currently held view about organic chemistry that seems to be receiving broad acceptance is that for organizational purposes, it can best be divided into three main areas. These areas are structure, dynamics, and synthesis, and they are interdependent.1 In order to appreciate fully the latter two areas, both of which will be developed at length in subsequent chapters, a firm grounding in the principles of structure and chemical bonding is essential.
