Product Description
A Textbook of Organic Chemistry has been a market leader for more than 75 years. This examination-oriented book breaks the intricacies of organic chemistry into easy-to-understand steps, which gives the student the necessary foundation to build upon, learn, and ultimately understand organic chemistry. The textbook has been written with the student in mind. The language is simple, explanations are clear, and presentation is very systematic. Step-by-step mechanisms are given throughout. Subject matter is modern, error-free and up to date.End-of-chapter Study Problems and Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) are one of the strengths of this book. These problems are particularly well chosen by the authors because they make the principles described in the text more readily understandable.Table of Contents:1 Getting Started2 Purification of Organic Compounds3 Composition of Organic Compounds4 Empirical and Molecular Formulae5 Structure of Organic Molecules6 Organic Reactions and Their Mechanism7 Isomerism8 Nomenclature of Organic Compounds9 Spectroscopy10 Alkanes11 Alkenes12 Alkynes13 Alkyl Halides14 Organometallic Compounds15 Alcohols16 Polyhydric Alcohols17 Ethers and Epoxides18 Thiols and Thioethers19 Aldehydes and Ketones20 Carboxylic Acids21 Dicarboxylic Acids22 Hydroxy and Halo Acids23 Acid Derivatives and Urea24 Nitrile, Isonitriles, Nitroalkanes and Diazomethane25 Acetoacetic Ester and Malonic Ester26 Fats and Oils; Soaps and Detergents27 Amines28 Amino Acids and Proteins29 Cycloalkanes30 Ureides and Purines31 Carbohydrates32 Aromatic Compounds33 Benzene and its Homologues34 Directive Effects of Substituents35 Aromatic Halogen compounds36 Aromatic Sulfonic Acids37 Aromatic Nitro Compounds38 Aromatic Amines39 Aryldiazonium Salts40 Phenols41 Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones42 Aromatic Carboxylic Acids43 Dyes: Color and Constitution44 Naphthalene45 Anthracene46 Heterocyclic Compounds47 Alkaloids48 Terpenes49 Synthetic Polymers50 Vitamins, Steroids and AntibioticsAppendix - 1 : Predicting TrendsAppendix - 2 : GlossaryIndexUseful for:This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of the B.Sc. students of Chemistry.
