Basic principles of organic chemistry are discussed here. The blog consists of topics such as Organic synthesis, Reaction mechanism, Named reactions, Stereochemistry & Spectroscopy, IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds and Practical organic chemistry.
In this article we will learn about Dehydration Reactions of alcohols to alkenes. We will discuss few reactions and mechanism.
Dehydration is the process of removal of water molecule from alcohol compound to produce alkene compound. It is an example of elimination reaction in organic chemistry.
Key words: Alcohol, Dehydration, Alkene, E1-elimination, E2-elimination.
In this article we will discuss about Structure and Nomenclature of Esters. They are important functional group compounds in organic chemistry.
Esters are chemical compounds in organic chemistry. They are derived from carboxylic acid compounds. Here we will learn Common Nomenclature and IUPAC Nomenclature of ester compounds.
Key words: Esters, Common Nomenclature, IUPAC Nomenclature, Carboxylic acids.
In this article we will discuss about Structure and Nomenclature of Carboxylic acids in organic chemistry. The carboxylic acids have general formula R-COOH.
In this article we will discuss about Structure and Nomenclature of Aldehydes in organic chemistry. Aldehydes are the organic compounds with one carbonyl group and general formula is RCHO.
Aldehydes are the organic compounds which consist of an alkyl / aryl group and one hydrogen atom bonded to a carbonyl group. IUPAC nomenclature of aldehydes is described herein.
Key words: Aldehyde, Carbonyl compounds, Common Names and IUPAC nomenclature of Aldehydes.
In this article we will learn about Structure and Nomenclature of Ketones.
Ketones are the organic compounds with carbon –oxygen double bond (C=O; carbonyl group). They have general formula (RCOR).
