This book covers the following
topics: Purification Of Solids and Liquids, Analysis Of Organic Compounds,
Empirical and Molecular Formula, Classification, Aliphatic Compounds, Paraffins,
Or Saturated Hydrocarbons, Halogen Derivatives Of The Paraffins, The Alcohols,
Sulphur Compounds, The Cyanogen Compounds, Derivatives Of The Unsaturated, The
Polyhydric Alcohols, Aromatic Compounds, The Terpenes and Camphors, Multinuclear
Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives, Heterocyclic Compounds and the Alkaloids.
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.
This broad spectrum of organic compounds in the textbook encompasses
derivatives of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ethers, epoxides, aldehydes,
ketones, and carboxylic acids. The text encompasses functional derivatives of
monocarboxylic acids, nitriles, and organosulfur and organophosphorus compounds,
based on their chemical behavior and reactivity. It provides comprehensive
insights into amino compounds and the various organic reactions occurring within
these functional groups. This is the main textbook for students who wish to have
mastery over organic chemistry concepts before advanced study or research in
it.
