This note is an intensive, comprehensive introduction to the chemistry of carbon and its importance to biological molecules. Topics include current ideas of bonding and structure, major reaction mechanisms and pathways, a discussion of the analytical tools used to determine the structure and stereochemistry of organic compounds and some of the chemistry of amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Organic Chemistry With a Biological Emphasis

Organic Chemistry With a Biological Emphasis

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.

Synthetic Organic Chemistry by Vardhman Mahaveer Open University

Synthetic Organic Chemistry by Vardhman Mahaveer Open University

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.
