Advanced organic chemistry by
Organic Chemistry is a text that presents the structures of organic molecules starting with the chemistry of alcohols and alkyl halides and then progressing to addition reactions of carbonyl derivatives.
A Bridge to organic chemistry by
Make the leap from introductory to organic chemistry The transition from first-year chemistry to an organic chemistry course can be a challenge for many students. Not only must they recall their first-year studies of bonding, structure, and reactivity, but they must also master a whole new set of nomenclature, along with the critical skill of "electron-pushing." Reviewing the fundamentals and carefully introducing the important new concepts, The Bridge to Organic Chemistry: Concepts and Nomenclature helps students smoothly bridge the gap to organic chemistry. Concise and carefully structured, The Bridge to Organic Chemistry helps students strengthen their mastery of fundamental concepts from an introductory chemistry course and then introduces them to the new concepts of organic chemistry. Step by step, the reader will: Review important concepts such as structural isomerism, Lewis formulas, hybridization, and resonance and understand their roles in modern organic chemistry Learn organic nomenclature along with the critical skill of "electron-pushing" Explore mechanisms that utilize many of the concepts: Lewis acid-base chemistry, rate laws, enthalpy changes, bond energies and electronegativities, substituent effects, structure, stereochemistry, and the visualization of electron flow through the electron-pushing model With a clear progressive style and substantial review at each step, The Bridge to Organic Chemistry puts organic chemistry and its nomenclature within the grasp of every student.
Aspects of organic chemistry by
Gerhard Quinkert Ernst Egert Christian Griesinger Aspects of Organic Chemistry Structure Praise for the German Edition This up-to-date picture of organic chemistry - presented in a rather unconventional fashion - is well-founded yet fascinating. One really feels the enthusiasm of the authors for this exciting area, and it easily springs over onto the reader. Surely, I would have studied organic chemistry, if I had had such a book during my course. Richard R. Ernst This is the documentation of an extraordinary, future-oriented educational concept for organic chemistry. Albert Eschenmoser Being a beneficiary of Aspects of Organic Chemistry' by Quinkert, Egert, and Griesinger, I want to point out that this book is an excellent source of information yet a gripping reading matter, not only for advanced students, but also for chemists more advanced in years. Vladimir Prelog The series has good chance to become such a standard work for organic chemists as Lectures on Physics' (Feynman, Leighton, Sands) has been for the physics' students since the last two generations - passing a change in paradigms, which is essential for science itself, onto the education. The logical structure of organic chemistry is elucidated in a really uniquely conclusive way. Crossing the borders is considered not an exception, but the rule, no matter, whether links to topology, group or graph theories are discussed, or connections between chemistry and biology are worked out. Indeed, the basic concept of the authors - to emphasize the close relationship between modern biology and chemistry - is proved convincingly as a thread running through the whole text. This is not - and wants not to be - a lowbrow text. It is not a conventional textbook as you can find them on the market more than enough. It is a work made to help think about organic chemistry, to understand its logical structure, without neglecting the numerous important details. Helmut Schwarz
Environmental organic chemistry by
Environmental Organic Chemistry focuses on environmental factors that govern the processes that determine the fate of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems. The information discovered is then applied to quantitatively assessing the environmental behaviour of organic chemicals. Now in its 2nd edition this book takes a more holistic view on physical-chemical properties of organic compounds. It includes new topics that address aspects of gas/solid partitioning, bioaccumulation, and transformations in the atmosphere. Structures chapters into basic and sophisticated sections Contains illustrative examples, problems and case studies Examines the fundamental aspects of organic, physical and inorganic chemistry - applied to environmentally relevant problems Addresses problems and case studies in one volume
Physical organic chemistry by
Extensively revised and updated, this second edition covers the basics of the subject and the mechanisms for a wide range of chemical reactions. The text emphasises the frontier orbital theory and the use of the Hückel molecular orbitals to account for chemical reactivity. This is fully supported by references to the necessary experimental evidence, extensive data and new research methods currently in use.
Orbital interaction theory of organic chemistry by
All reactions of organic compounds are treated within the framework of generalized Lewis acid-Lewis base theory, their reactivity governed by characteristics of the frontier orbitals. Coverage includes symmetry and stereochemical relationships; orbitals and Hartree-Fock theory; applications of orbital interaction diagrams to O-bond descriptions and reactions; H'ckel MO theory; pericyclic reactions; orbital correlation diagrams and photochemistry. Features numerous illustrations from recent literature. Includes a 3.5 inch disk which contains the basic interactive program for simple H'ckel MO theory.
