I am pleased to present the book on Organic Chemistry for Undergraduates: Volume II in the hands of students learning organic chemistry at undergraduate level and the teachers of organic chemistry. The book is written by keeping in mind curriculum of organic chemistry prescribed by UGC taught at different levels through different papers.
Organic chemistry is the core part of curriculum of chemistry. Therefore, there is need of understanding it from very basics. The book focuses on understanding the principles involved, structures of organic compounds, organic reactions and their mechanism. The book aims to explain different organic reactions with their mechanism. The book also focuses on different types of spectroscopy techniques. The content of this book attempts to clarify the fundamentals of the subject without going through exhaustive details.
The book has fourteen chapters including five chapter on different types of organic rection mechanisms followed by five chapters on different spectroscopic techniques like UV, IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopy. Next chapter includes combined problems based on different spectroscopic techniques. The important topics like rearrangement reactions, designing organic synthesis and study of natural products are also included in the second volume of the book.
To develop interest of learners, solved problems are given wherever necessary. At the end of each chapter, multiple choice questions, short answer questions and long answer questions are also given.
Considering the depth of students, book is written in very simple language and unnecessary explanation is avoided. It will definitely generate interest of the learner in understanding of the subject. I hope this book will be useful for the undergraduate students of chemistry.
