This book is divided into 11 chapters. Considerable chapters are devoted to the classification and nomenclature of polycarbocyclic compounds, including bicyclic monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, sesterterpenoids, and triterpenoids. Other chapters deal with the classification and nomenclature of selective steroids, such as steroids, bile acids, sex hormones, saponins, and sapogenins. The concluding chapter highlights the biogenesis of terpenes and sterols. This book is an ideal source for organic chemists and researchers.
