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 open-access book
thoroughly covers all the foundational topics of organic chemistry, including
bonding and molecular structure, nomenclature, isomerism, and stereochemistry.
Physical organic chemistry is covered in great detail, particularly acids,
bases, and electron flow mechanisms at the heart of organic reactions. This book
explores the key organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution,
elimination reactions, and electrophilic additions. The book is designed to give
students a conceptual understanding and hands-on tools in mastering the
complicated organic chemistry subject, with clear explanations and many examples
of chemical processes.
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.
