The field of organic chemistry has both a rich history and modern dynamism that seamlessly interfaces with biology, medicine, materials science, and a host of other fields. Although the field has indeed changed enormously in the past two decades, the core interest of the organic chemist remains unchanged. Thus, the efforts of students within the organic area are focused on the preparation and study of novel organic compounds, the understanding of structure and reactivity, and the development of entirely new reactions and processes. 2, record 1, English, - organic%20chemist
