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 lecture gives an overview introduction into organic chemistry.
It focuses on chemistry, as this plays a fundamental role for biological systems
through organic molecules. It touches all the basics: the unique properties of
carbon atoms, the types of bonds carbon can form, and the structure and
isomerism of organic molecules. The chain isomerism, positional isomerism, and
functional group isomerism thus discussed give students in medical and
biological sciences a sound background in understanding the molecular mechanism
behind organic chemistry.

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.
