Basics of Organic Chemistry: A Textbook for Undergraduate Students is an essential guide for students who are learning organic chemistry. The book provides a clear and thorough introduction to fundamental concepts, beginning with the topic of structure and bonding, which lays the foundation by exploring atomic structure, hybridization, and chemical bonds. The second chapter on reaction mechanisms breaks down the processes and factors influencing chemical reactions. The next chapter introduces readers to reactive Intermediates including transient species like carbocations and free radicals, while the final two chapters on Stereochemistry and organic compounds examine the spatial arrangement of atoms and its impact on chemical properties. Key features - Clear explanations with detailed illustrations and structured chapters - Real-world examples to connect theory with practice - End-of-chapter exercises for self-assessment - Bibliography for further reading Designed for undergraduate students of chemistry and allied subjects, this textbook is a valuable resource for advanced studies, in organic chemistry, exam preparation, and laboratory work.

This book is written for B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. students of various universities. In this book my aim has been describe the fundamental principles of organic chemistry. Contents: Diazonium Salts and Their Related Compound, Phenols and Quinones, Heterocyclic Compounds, Aromatic Acids, Aromatic Alcohols, Aldehydes and Ketones, Polynuclear Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives.

This textbook is an accessible overview of the broad field of organic electrochemistry, covering the fundamentals and applications of contemporary organic electrochemistry. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental aspects of electrode electron transfer and methods for the electrochemical measurement of organic molecules. It then goes on to discuss organic electrosynthesis of molecules and macromolecules, including detailed experimental information for the electrochemical synthesis of organic compounds and conducting polymers. Later chapters highlight new methodology for organic electrochemical synthesis, for example electrolysis in ionic liquids, the application to organic electronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs, and examples of commercialized organic electrode processes. Appendices present useful supplementary information including experimental examples of organic electrosynthesis, and tables of physical data (redox potentials of various organic solvents and organic compounds and physical properties of various organic solvents).

This book is written for B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. students of various universities. In this book my aim has been describe the fundamental principles of organic chemistry. Since I do not consider the chemistry of natural products to be fundamental chemistry but rather the application of fundamental principles. The subject matter described in this book covers much of the basic organic chemistry that is needed by a student who wish to study chemistry as a main subject at degree level. The arrangement of the subject-matter is based on homologous series and in general, descriptions of reactions are followed by discussion of their mechanisms and these includes an elementary account of the sort of evidence that led workers to suggest mechanisms that are acceptable at the present time. Contents: Determination of Structure, Properties of Molecules, Physical Properties and Chemical Construction.

The 12th edition of Organic Chemistry continues Solomons, Fryhle & Snyder's tradition of excellence in teaching and preparing students for success in the organic classroom and beyond. A central theme of the authors' approach to organic chemistry is to emphasize the relationship between structure and reactivity. To accomplish this, the content is organized in a way that combines the most useful features of a functional group approach with one largely based on reaction mechanisms. The authors' philosophy is to emphasize mechanisms and their common aspects as often as possible, and at the same time, use the unifying features of functional groups as the basis for most chapters. The structural aspects of the authors' approach show students what organic chemistry is. Mechanistic aspects of their approach show students how it works. And wherever an opportunity arises, the authors' show students what it does in living systems and the physical world around us.

Written for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, this textbook presents comprehensive coverage of different types of reactions and their mechanisms. The need for such a book has been felt for a very long time both by students and teachers. The book discusses chemical kinetics, structure and reactivity, and reactive intermediates such as carbenes, nitrenes and benzynes. It also describes the mechanism of tautomerism and the concepts of aromaticity. In addition, the book elaborates the various reactions such as substitution, free radical, addition, elimination and alkylation reactions. Finally, the text presents a detailed discussion on molecular rearrangements, oximes and diazo compounds, as well as the concepts of photochemistry. KEY FEATURES: Presents a number of examples to explain the mechanistic concepts. Offers graphs and tables at various places to illustrate the key points. Includes latest information on the subject.

This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. First Semester students of Chemistry of Delhi University and Colleges as per the recommended National Education Policy 2020. This textbook explains the subject in the most student-friendly way and is designed to keep itself updated with the latest in research. Organic chemists think by constructing mental pictures of molecules and communicate with each other by drawing pictures. This book favors series of figures over long discussions in the text and covers important topics such as Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry, Reactive Intermediates and Rearrangement Reactions, Electrophilic addition reactions, Nucleophilic addition and substitution a reaction, Elimination reactions, Electrophilic substitution reactions and Stereochemistry.

The definitive guide to the principles and practice of experimental organic chemistry - fully updated and now featuring more than 100 experiments The latest edition of this popular guide to experimental organic chemistry takes students from their first day in the laboratory right through to complex research procedures. All sections have been updated to reflect new techniques, equipment and technologies, and the text has been revised with an even sharper focus on practical skills and procedures. The first half of the book is devoted to safe laboratory practice as well as purification and analytical techniques; particularly spectroscopic analysis. The second half contains step-by-step experimental procedures, each one illustrating a basic principle, or important reaction type. Tried and tested over almost three decades, over 100 validated experiments are graded according to their complexity and all are chosen to highlight important chemical transformations and to teach key experimental skills. New sections cover updated health and safety guidelines, additional spectroscopic techniques, electronic notebooks and record keeping, and techniques, such as semi-automated chromatography and enabling technologies such as the use of microwave and flow chemistry. New experiments include transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling, organocatalysis, asymmetric synthesis, flow chemistry, and microwave-assisted synthesis. Key aspects of this third edition include: Detailed descriptions of the correct use of common apparatus used in the organic laboratory Outlines of practical skills that all chemistry students must learn Highlights of aspects of health and safety in the laboratory, both in the first section and throughout the experimental procedures Four new sections reflecting advances in techniques and technologies, from electronic databases and information retrieval to semi-automated chromatography More than 100 validated experiments of graded complexity from introductory to research level A user-friendly experiment directory An instructor manual and PowerPoint slides of the figures in the book available on a companion website A comprehensive guide to contemporary organic chemistry laboratory principles, procedures, protocols, tools and techniques, Experimental Organic Chemistry, Third Edition is both an essential laboratory textbook for students of chemistry at all levels, and a handy bench reference for experienced chemists.
