This note
covers the following topics: Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Molecular
Stability, Linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) model, Formal Charge,
Alkynes, Mechanisms of substitutions reactions, Nucleophilic substitution
reactions, Mechanisms for the formation of alkenes, Regioselectivity of
electrophilic additions to alkenes, Radical reactions of alkenes, Structure and
reactivity of specific functional groups, Reduction of alkenes to alkanes,
Alkene oxidation reactions.
This textbook is to be
used by advanced students of Master's degree programmes specializing in
chemistry on core principles of organic chemistry, with key topics including
bonding in organic molecules, structural and stereochemical features, and
fundamentals of nucleophilic substitution reactions. It further discusses the
stereochemistry nature of organic compounds and chemical bonds, which is one of
the key areas involved in explaining the behavior of molecules in various
chemical reactions. The penetration of the elaboration of various kinds of
organic reactions and the theory behind them makes it an indistinguishable
resource for students looking to dig deep into the concepts of organic chemistry
and its application.
It is
an advanced-level book that is focused on synthesis: particularly on strategies
for stereoselective synthesis. Methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of
acyclic compounds that are essential to be built with specific three-dimensional
configurations are included. The book focuses a lot on the latest techniques and
strategies in building complex organic structures, discussing much about
reaction mechanisms and problems with stereoselectivity in synthetic pathways.
This is the definitive resource for graduate students and researchers in organic
synthesis and for those who want to be better equipped with a deeper
understanding of synthetic methodologies.
