Carbonyl Compounds - Chemistry and Synthetic Applications - Paperback

by Kuriya Madavu Lokanatha Rai (Author)

This book, Carbonyl Compounds - Chemistry and Synthetic Applications, is meant for M. Sc., Chemistry, M. Sc, Organic Chemistry as well as B. Sc., graduates. The chemistry of the carbonyl compound is virtually the backbone of synthetic organic chemistry. Carbonyl compounds serve as the starting material for the synthesis of various naturally occurring molecules viz., cholesterol, caryophyllene, santonin, reserpine, etc.

In the present book, I am concentrating more on mechanistic aspects of the reactions involving carbonyl compounds, which are not discussed in detail in other textbooks.

This book provides insight in many areas of carbonyl compounds which includes nomenclature, identification, preparation, structure, reactions, estimations and their synthetic applications.
