A Brief Introduction of Amino Acids – The Building Blocks of Proteins
Amino acids are an important group of compounds that all contain the amino group (-NH2) and carboxylic acid group (-COOH). One type of amino acid has the -NH2 group bonded to the C atom next to -COOH group. These 2-amino-carboxylic acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. The general structural formula of 2-amino-carboxylic […]

Simple Benzene Derivatives and Their Nomenclature in Organic Chemistry
Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C₆H₆. Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. Benzene was prepared from coal tar by August W. von Hofmann in 1845. Coal tar remained the primary source for the industrial production of benzene […]
Types of Organic Reactions – Functional Groups Interconversion
Most molecules are at peace with themselves. Bottles of water, or acetone (propanone, Me2C=O), or methyl iodide (iodomethane CH3I) can be stored for years without any change in the chemical composition of the molecules inside. Yet when we add chemical reagents, say, HCl to water, sodium cyanide (NaCN) to acetone, or sodium hydroxide to methyl iodide, chemical reactions […]
