This broad spectrum of organic compounds in the textbook encompasses
derivatives of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes,
ketones, and carboxylic acids. The text encompasses functional derivatives of
monocarboxylic acids, nitriles, and organosulfur and organophosphorus compounds,
based on their chemical behavior and reactivity. It provides comprehensive
insights into amino compounds and the various organic reactions occurring within
these functional groups. This is the main textbook for students who wish to have
mastery over organic chemistry concepts before advanced study or research in
it.
This textbook is
designed for students in biology, biochemistry, or the health sciences and is
meant to bridge the gap between organic chemistry on one side and biological
systems on the other. It rapidly covers foundational topics like organic
structure, bonding, and stereochemistry but emphasizes the biological relevance
of organic reactions. This text includes determining structures, organic
reactivity, and important reaction types- nucleophilic substitutions and
acid-base equilibria-in biological contexts. It goes into detail to show
examples about how the principles of organic chemistry apply in the study of
biochemical processes, making it a very useful resource for the student in life
sciences who needs a practical understanding of organic chemistry in biological
systems.
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.
