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 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.
This open-access book
thoroughly covers all the foundational topics of organic chemistry, including
bonding and molecular structure, nomenclature, isomerism, and stereochemistry.
Physical organic chemistry is covered in great detail, particularly acids,
bases, and electron flow mechanisms at the heart of organic reactions. This book
explores the key organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution,
elimination reactions, and electrophilic additions. The book is designed to give
students a conceptual understanding and hands-on tools in mastering the
complicated organic chemistry subject, with clear explanations and many examples
of chemical processes.
