This lecture gives an overview introduction into organic chemistry.
It focuses on chemistry, as this plays a fundamental role for biological systems
through organic molecules. It touches all the basics: the unique properties of
carbon atoms, the types of bonds carbon can form, and the structure and
isomerism of organic molecules. The chain isomerism, positional isomerism, and
functional group isomerism thus discussed give students in medical and
biological sciences a sound background in understanding the molecular mechanism
behind organic chemistry.

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.
