Description

In the time since the sixth edition of this best seller by Morrison and Boyd was published in 1992, organic chemistry has witnessed a metamorphosis, both in the methods of synthesis and in the analysis of organic compounds. This seventh edition is revised as per the developments that have taken place in the field of organic chemistry as well as in the syllabi. As in the earlier editions, the book conveys the important fundamentals and principles of the subject in a simple and easily understandable manner. Indispensable for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, the book is also useful to the students preparing for competitive examinations such as IIT-JEE, AIEEE, and medical/engineering entrance examinations both at the national and state level. What's new in this edition? * Divided into 5 parts: Part I: Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry Part II: Chemistry of Functional Groups Part Part III: Specific Topics IV: Biomolecules and Bioorganic Chemistry Part V: Contemporary and Future Organic Chemistry * Exclusive chapters on drugs and synthetic dyes * A chapter on nanoparticles of organic substances deals with the amalgamation of material science and biotechnology * A chapter on future devices includes molecular machines and green chemistry * Modern methods of organic synthesis like solid support synthesis, combinatorial synthesis and electro-organic synthesis * A chapter devoted to enzymes, coenzymes and vitamins
