The principles and their application for the
synthesis of some of the naturally occurring compounds will be described in this
note. Major topics covered includes: Formation of Aliphatic Carbon-Carbon Bonds:
Base Catalyzed Reactions and Acid Catalyzed Reactions, Organometallic Reagents,
Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution, Aromatic Diazonium Salts, Molecular
Rearrangements, eagents Containing Phosphorus, Sulfur, Silicon, Boron or Tin,
Transition Metal Catalysis and The Synthesis of Some Naturally Occurring
Compounds.
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.
