I am pleased to present the book on Organic Chemistry for Undergraduates: Volume I 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, nomenclature of compounds and organic reactions. The book aims to explain reactions of different functional groups with simple examples. The content of this book attempts to clarify the fundamentals of the subject without going through exhaustive details.
The book has eleven chapters including first chapter on Introduction to organic chemistry followed by chapter of Hydrocarbons. Study of different functional groups is included in next five chapters. The important topics like Heterocyclic compounds, synthetic reagents, organometallic compounds and stereoisomerism are also included in the first 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.
