Overview

Compounds whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen are organic compounds. They can be classified into functional groups, aliphatic compounds, aromatic compounds, heterocyclic compounds, polymers, etc. These compounds are the basis of all life on Earth and constitute the majority of known chemicals, such as agrichemicals, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The science concerned with the study of the properties, structures and reactions of organic compounds is called organic chemistry. It studies the properties such as qualitative and quantitative characteristics, including melting and boiling points, conductivity, solubility, refractive index, odor, color, etc. Various techniques such as gas chromatography and HPLC as well as separation methods of crystallization, distillation and solvent extraction are commonly used in organic chemistry for purity analyses and separation. This textbook is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital aspects in the field of organic chemistry. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
