This open-access book
thoroughly covers all the foundational topics of organic chemistry, including
bonding and molecular structure, nomenclature, isomerism, and stereochemistry.
Physical organic chemistry is covered in great detail, particularly acids,
bases, and electron flow mechanisms at the heart of organic reactions. This book
explores the key organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution,
elimination reactions, and electrophilic additions. The book is designed to give
students a conceptual understanding and hands-on tools in mastering the
complicated organic chemistry subject, with clear explanations and many examples
of chemical processes.
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.
