We are very much happy to present this book titled “Intermediates and Rearrangements in Organic Synthesis” in the hands of students and teachers. The main purpose of writing this book is to create more interest in the subject of organic chemistry. This book provides the deeper understanding of organic reaction mechanism. The special thing about this book is it is written by keeping in mind various competitive exams. The book consists of main topics of organic chemistry which are very useful for the preparation of different exams based on chemistry. The topics included are intermediates and rearrangement reactions. Intermediates and rearrangements are very important parts of organic chemistry without which students cannot get good understanding of organic chemistry. The topics are explained in simple way which will give clear ideas to the students. Each concept is explained by giving ample number of examples to help a detailed understanding. The examples from various competitive exams are also included and thus, this will provide easy platform for the students who are preparing for different exams. Contents - 1. Reaction Intermediates 2. Molecular Rearrangements 3. Practice Problems Bibliography

The book is specially designed for the UG and PG students as per the UGC syllabus. Even the teachers and other organic chemistry knowing peple will find the materials for organic synthesis in a single book.Every effort has been made to keep the book error free. Book Content of Synthetic Organic Chemistry Protecting Groups Formation of Carbon-Carbon Bond Oxidation Reduction Pericyclic Reaction Photochemical Reactions Free Radical Reaction Synthesis Through Enolate Carbon-Carbon Bond Forming Electrophilic Reaction Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

The book in your hands is designed to be a student friendly book. An attempt has been made to trim and tame a fearful monster into helpful jinn. The fact that ‘all the reactions of Organic Chemistry boil down to just Substitution, Elimination and Addition brought about by Radical, Anions and Cations with an active involvement of Electrons (SEARACE)’ constitutes the central theme of the book. The Bottled Jinn chart inside summarizes the basics of Organic Chemistry. Adequate and appropriate emphasis has been given on explanation of mechanisms of reactions keeping in view the average caliber students. The ‘Summary for Memory’ and ‘Problems for Practice’ at the end of every chapter is intended to act as a Quick reminder of the essence of the given chapter. ‘Different in manner, not matter, of presentation’ is the only modest claim about the book. Elimination of fear and phobia by substituting them with comfort and confidence for Organic Chemistry in the minds of average students is the only honest intention behind this endeavor. The book should be hopefully useful for all the under and post graduate students of Organic Chemistry. Contents - 1. The Foundation 2. Noomenclature 3. Alkanes 4. Stereochemistry 5. AlkylHalides 6.

The main features of this text is to present the core information on the subject in an easily accessible format that is ideally suited to student understanding. This text covers the syllabi of most of undergraduate and post graduate courses on the basis of guidelines given by UGC. This text is equally useful to inorganic chemists as well as biologists and biochemists. A new approach has been adopted in division of chapters which is based upon biological functions rather than discussing biochemistry metal wise. The inter-relationship between Bioinorganic Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry has been well taken up. This text is an attempt to answer the questions which intrigued the minds of many, such as : How is metal ion bound to a particular biomolecule or enzyme? What is the role of metal ion and non-metals in biological process? How is a particular metal ion is selected for biological function? How and where metal ions are stored in living world? How are these metal ions transported from and in biological systems? Is there any medicinal use of metal ions? How biomolecules are combining to form supramolecules? How biomolecules are so selective in recognising a particular ion or molecule? What is the role of supramolecular catalysis? What is the importance of molecular and supramolecular devices? The key features of this book is to present the core information on the subject in an easily accessible format that is ideally suited to student understanding. A sincere attempt has been made to cover most of the topics of interest and to cover the syllabi of most of undergraduate and post graduate courses on the basis of guidelines given by UGC. This book will be equally useful to inorganic chemists as well as biologists and biochemists. Contents - 1. Introduction to Bioinorganic Chemistry 2.

As the title of the book suggests, this provides an access to the rich and interesting realm of Inorganic Chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry was misunderstood as a descriptive account of the methods of preparation and properties of elements to be committed to memory. But this book reveals the enormity of the subject of Inorganic chemistry. At one end, it incorporates the concepts of physics, such as quantum mechanics, Solid state and group theory, and at the other end, it extends to the area of biology and biochemistry, revealing the importance of metal ions in biochemical reactions. The first two chapters in the present an account of quantum theoretical and quantum mechanical concepts of the structure of the atom. The third chapter deals with the periodic table and the principles of periodicity of the elements. The fourth chapter deals with the electronic concept of valency and structure of the molecule. The fifth chapter introduces the concept of symmetry and consideration of a molecule as a point group. This concepts has been used in the sixth chapter dealing with the quantum mechanical approach to bonding and molecular structure. The Seventh chapter presents a detailed account of the solid state structure of non-metals, metals and ionic compounds. In the eighth chapter, all the aspects of the structure and properties of the complex compounds have been discussed. In the ninth, tenth and eleventh chapters, there is a comparative discussion of the structure, properties and compounds of the non-transition, transition and inner transition elements, in the background of atomic structure, bonding and the periodic table. There is also a brief account of general methods of obtaining the metals in pure state included in the chapter. The last chapter deals with the role of metal ions in various biochemical reactions. This book will provide a theoretical background to the understanding of Inorganic Chemistry. An attempt has been made to explain the physical meaning of the mathematical expressions, that appear in the quantum mechanical consideration of atomic and molecular structure. The book has mainly stressed the understanding of why and how of the observations, rather than listing the descriptive details. The book has included a set of objective questions at the end of each chapter, with hints for solution in some cases. Some of the topics dealt with in the book have been taught and developed stepwise in junior classes. It was necessary to mention about some of the basics, while dealing them in more advanced level in this book. It was felt essential, to be done, for clarity and to maintain the continuity. this should not be mistaken as a repetition. The book is mainly intended for B.Sc. students. However, it will be useful for the post graduate students to refresh their background for advanced studies. Contents - 1. Quantum Theory and Atomic Structure 2. Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom 3.

In this book, the first two chapters embody the basic concepts of Group Theory. Only the minimum mathematical part of Group Theory, necessary to use it as a tool for understanding Chemical problems, has been discussed. Each step has been solved in detail. The latter six chapters are devoted to the application of Group Theory to atomic and molecular structures and spectroscopy. Each point has been explained in detail with illustrations. Some more problems have been given at the end of each chapter. The quantum mechanical aspects of molecular structure and spectroscoy have been mentioned only to the extent necessary. Hence the students of specialized courses in quantum mechanics and spectroscopy will not find the book meeting their requirements. Contents : 1. Symmetry Elements, Symmetry Operations and Point Groups 2. Features of Point Groups and their Character Tables 3. Application to Atomic Orbitals 4. Application to Valence Bond Theory 5.
