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.
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 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.
