As we’ve seen, organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Although a division into organic and inorganic chemistry occurred historically, there is no scientific reason for the division. An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons. The electronic structure of an atom can be ...

448507. OpenStax. OpenStax. This text continues to meet the scope and sequence of a two-semester organic chemistry course that follows a functional group approach. A highlighted list of changes, along with a detailed table of contents and ancillary descriptions, can be found on the Instructor and Student resources sections of this page.

Organic chemistry is a complicated subject, and it was important to me that I found some time to do some fun things in between long study sessions. My favorite thing to do was go for long walks to clear my head. Over my years in Chapel Hill I’ve been lucky to find many locations where I can get some alone time and relax. A few of my favorite ...

This channel focuses on providing tutorial videos on organic chemistry, general chemistry, physics, algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus.

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years — it’s just not true. And they say: It’s time to rewrite the textbooks. Organic molecules, those made primarily of carbon, are characterized by having specific shapes and arrangements of atoms. Molecules known as olefins ...

Given its relevance across numerous fields, reductive amination is one of the oldest and most widely used methods for amine synthesis. As a cornerstone of synthetic chemistry, it has largely remained unchanged since its discovery over a century ago. Herein, we report the mechanistically driven development of a complementary reaction, which reductively aminates the C–C σ-bond of carbonyls ...

And does organic chemistry have a cognitive, explanatory aim, or rather a practical, applicatory aim (or perhaps both)? Note that answers to which extent organic chemistry does not have its own explanations, and has a practical rather than cognitive aim should not be thought of as involving a devaluation of the field. For Bunge, for example ...

Our leadership in research includes the traditional areas of physical, analytical, inorganic, and organic chemistry, and has rapidly evolved to encompass environmental chemistry, chemical biology, biophysical chemistry, soft and hard materials chemistry, and nanotechnology.

Organic Chemistry is a branch of chemistry which studies properties of compounds containing carbon, and their compositions, their reactivity and builds a mechanism of their preparation. Modern organic chemistry can trace its origin to the middle of the 19th century when Wöhler synthesized urea and showed for the first time that man can prepare ...
