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 is an all-inclusive
resource that explores organic chemistry, right from basic concepts such as
structure and bonding to comprehensive organic reactions and spectroscopy
techniques. The topics include polar covalent bonds, acids and bases, detailed
studies of organic compounds which include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and
organohalides. Stereochemistry is discussed in the book, which incorporates
aspects surrounding tetrahedral centers and cycloalkanes, along with detailed
mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. It also
introduces spectroscopy methods like mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy
for structure determination, affording students ample theoretical knowledge
along with practical skills in organic synthesis and analysis.
It focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, major topics in the
course, which include organometallic reagents, oxidation/reduction reactions,
complex synthesis. Covers synthesis and reactions of nonbenzenoid aromatic
compounds: tropone and tropolone, polycyclic aromatic compounds. This book
introduces students to the disconnection approach in synthetic strategy, and
protecting groups were discussed in great detail. It will be very useful for
postgraduate students in advanced organic synthesis, who would like to learn how
complex organic molecules are made.
