Important Sequences of Organic Chemistry 1. Acidic Strength -   H2SO4 >H2CO3>  RCOOH > Phenol > CH3OH > H2O > ROH > Terminal Alkynes > NH3 >Alkene...

You have probably heard horror stories about this class. About how organic is the hardest course, the flunk-out course, etc. You may feel overwhelmed by the number of compounds, names, reactions,...

THE DOUBLE BOND EQUIVALENCE CONCEPT:- Consider a general organic compound having molecular formula as CaHbNcOdXe , where, C-Carbon,   H-Hydrogen,   N-Nitrogen, ...

HOW TO STUDY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY   To succeed in organic chemistry (that is, to learn to think logically about molecular properties and behavior, master the course material, and...

HELPFUL INFORMATION OF SOME OXIDIZING AGENTS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY CAN BE FOUND HERE.....ITS A MUST HAVE! http://pages.towson.edu/ladon/enrich/oxidagen.pdf

Cycloalkanes       Cycloalkanes have one or more rings of carbon atoms. The simplest examples of this class consist of a single, unsubstituted carbon ring, and these...

Organic Chemistry is a challenging subject. It uses its own language and employs many very precise concepts yet without referring mathematical tools or aspects. Within first few hours of study you...

(c) Chemical method This is the best method used for the separation of racemic mixture. This was used by Pasteur in 1858. This method is generally used for the separation of optically active...

Anti addition of Br2 to Z–2–butene gives a racemic mixture of (2R, 3R) and (25,35), 2,3-dibromobutane through chiral bromonium ion in which olefin geometry is maintained. Either of the...

Ans. (a) There are four stereoisomers. A and B are enantiomers, as are C and D. (b) A and B are diastereomers of C and D. Ans. (a) We might expect that four stereoisomers are possible...

(c) See figure below. Two: cis-1,3 has a plane of symmetry; trans-1,3 has a plane and a center of symmetry. In both isomers C1 and C3 are stereocenters. Switching H and Me converts one...

(5) First draw the fisher projection formula of the system, if the group follows clockwise path according to sequence rule, then system is named as ‘R’ and in case of anticlockwise...

Because diastereomers are not mirror images of each other, they can have, and often do have, markedly different physical and chemical properties. For example, the (2R,3S) stereoisomer of...

Stereo Chemistry Chapter Molecules that are attached to four different groups a, b, d and e are chiral. A tetrahedral carbon that is attached to four different group is known as a chiral...

Carbenes and carbenoids Iodomethylzinc iodide is often referred to as carbenoid, because it resembles a carbene in its chemical reactions. Carbenes are neutral molecules in which one of the carbon...

(x) Reaction with Cyanogen and Cyanogen chloride Alkyl cyanides are produced when Grignard reagents react with cyanogen and cyanogen chloride . (xi) Reaction with...

In case of G.R always substitution reactions are preferred over addition reactions

(iii) Insertion Reaction When inserstion of element in the molecule takes place for example (i) Synthesis of alcohols (ii) Reaction with epoxides This reaction is...

Organometallic compounds are compounds that contains a carbon metal bond. You are already familiar with some organometallic compound like sodium acetylide (NaC==CH) and alkyl lithium which has an...

It has been observed that quaternary ammonium hydroxides as well as sulphonium salts preferably yield less substituted alkenes. For the same reason an isobutyl group shows...
