Organic Structure Determination Using 2-D NMR Spectroscopy
Organic Structure Determination Using 2-D NMR Spectroscopy – A Problem-Based Approach is written by Jeffrey H. Simpson (Department of Chemistry Instrumentation Facility, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts) and published by Elsevier Inc. in 2008. In Jeff Simpson words; I wrote this book because nothing like it existed when I began to learn about the application of nuclear […]
Four Major Types of Organic Reactions
Virtually all organic reactions fall into one of four categories: substitutions, additions, eliminations, or rearrangements. Substitution Reactions Substitutions are the characteristic reactions of saturated compounds such as alkanes and alkyl halides and of aromatic compounds (even though they are unsaturated). In a substitution, one group replaces another. For example, chloromethane reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce methyl […]
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 […]
