Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry dedicated to the study of carbon-containing compounds, focusing on their structure, properties, composition, reactivity, and synthesis. This includes not only hydrocarbons but also compounds that contain other elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. Key topics within organic chemistry include metalloids, transition metals, functionalized hydrocarbons, and organometallic compounds. The field also explores organic reactions, particularly those focused on the synthesis of natural products, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Organic chemistry integrates both experimental techniques and theoretical models to analyze and understand individual molecules. Its applications are vast, influencing industries ranging from petroleum and biotechnology to consumer goods and pharmaceuticals. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of organic chemistry and how such concepts have practical applications. It provides comprehensive insights into organic chemistry. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
