Organic vs Synthetic

Beginning with foundational concepts and historical context, the book progresses through applications in medicine, agriculture, and materials science. It examines the use of both natural products and synthetic drugs, trade-offs in crop production, and the properties of naturally derived versus synthetically produced materials. It delves into molecular configurations, isotopic composition, and even subtle impurities, demonstrating how they sway biological activity and environmental impact.

Ultimately, Organic vs Synthetic emphasizes informed decision-making about the lifecycle, environmental impact, and biological activity of both organic and synthetic compounds. It aims to empower readers to critically evaluate the role of chemistry in shaping a sustainable and healthy future, and is valuable to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the chemical world.
