Organic Chemistry: Structure, Mechanism and Synthesis

Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the scientific study of organic compounds that contain covalently bonded carbon atoms. It is primarily involved in the study of properties, reactions and synthesis of organic compounds. Carbon is an element that exhibits the unique property of catenation wherein it is able to form stable bonds with other carbon atoms. This ability helps in the formation of stable molecules with relatively complex structures. Therefore, the magnitude of organic chemistry can be attributed to this property of carbon. Advancements in this field have made numerous contributions to the human society, such as the synthesis of several drugs, polymers and other natural products. Some materials that are composed of organic compounds are agrichemicals, coatings, cosmetics, detergent, food, fuel, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics and rubber. This book provides significant information for developing a good understanding of organic chemistry. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers interested in the study of the structure, mechanism and synthesis of organic compounds.
