Introductory Organic Chemistry and Hydrocarbons

The author is a graduate of chemistry (UFRuralRJ), MSc in Polymer Science and PhD in Physical Organic Chemistry at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Since 2009, he is professor of organic chemistry at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). He has one patent, three books and 33 papers to his credit. His primary research is on theoretical chemistry to investigate chemical bonds, aromaticity, intermolecular interactions and mechanisms of organic chemistry reactions.
