Publisher's Synopsis
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds containing carbon in covalent bonding. The study of structure defines their chemical composition and formula. The study of properties involves physical and chemical properties and evaluation of reactivity. Physical properties of organic compounds include both quantitative and qualitative features. The study of organic reactions deals with the chemical synthesis of natural products, drugs and polymers. It also involves the study of individual organic molecules in the laboratory and through theoretical study. Hydrocarbons and carbon-based compounds are the primary areas of the study in this domain. It also includes other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and the halogens. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of organic chemistry and the recent researches in this field. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on organic chemistry have been included in this book. It is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
