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.

The branch of chemistry that includes the study of structures, properties, composition, reaction and preparation of organic compounds is known as organic chemistry. Organic compounds are covalently bonded carbon containing compounds including hydrogen, halogen and other elements. They are classified on the basis of functional groups, aliphatic groups, aromaticity and the size of molecule. Organic compounds are structurally diverse and form the functional and structural basis of all living beings and many commercial products. Organic chemistry is an umbrella science which overlaps organometallic chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, materials science and polymer chemistry. Organic chemistry is applied in a large number of industries such as pharmaceutical industry, petroleum industry, and chemical industry. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. The topics included in this book on organic chemistry are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

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.
