This note
covers the following topics: Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Molecular
Stability, Linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) model, Formal Charge,
Alkynes, Mechanisms of substitutions reactions, Nucleophilic substitution
reactions, Mechanisms for the formation of alkenes, Regioselectivity of
electrophilic additions to alkenes, Radical reactions of alkenes, Structure and
reactivity of specific functional groups, Reduction of alkenes to alkanes,
Alkene oxidation reactions.
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.

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.
