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.
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.
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.
