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.
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.
It is
an advanced-level book that is focused on synthesis: particularly on strategies
for stereoselective synthesis. Methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of
acyclic compounds that are essential to be built with specific three-dimensional
configurations are included. The book focuses a lot on the latest techniques and
strategies in building complex organic structures, discussing much about
reaction mechanisms and problems with stereoselectivity in synthetic pathways.
This is the definitive resource for graduate students and researchers in organic
synthesis and for those who want to be better equipped with a deeper
understanding of synthetic methodologies.
