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.
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.
It is
an advanced-level book that is focused on synthesis: particularly on strategies
for stereoselective synthesis. Methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of
acyclic compounds that are essential to be built with specific three-dimensional
configurations are included. The book focuses a lot on the latest techniques and
strategies in building complex organic structures, discussing much about
reaction mechanisms and problems with stereoselectivity in synthetic pathways.
This is the definitive resource for graduate students and researchers in organic
synthesis and for those who want to be better equipped with a deeper
understanding of synthetic methodologies.
