Introduction to Organic Chemistry, Chemistry of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
This note covers the following topics: Atomic Structure, Chemical
Bonding, Chemical Structure: Lewis structure, resonance and hybridization, Polar
covalent bonds: electronegativity, dipole moment, Intramolecular and
Intermolecular Forces of attractions in Organic Molecules, Types of Organic
Reactions, Basic Concepts of Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Alkanes:
Nomenclature, Structural Isomers, Conformational Isomers and Reaction,
Cycloalkanes: Nomenclature, Conformational Analysis and Reactions,
Stereochemistry.
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 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.
