It includes explanations about the nature of carbohydrates and their nomenclature. Other information includes intramolecular reactions of carbohydrates, ester formation reactions, glycoside formation, reduction and oxidation reactions. Other important reactions include chain lengthening (Kiliani-Fischer) and shortening (Wonl) rea...

This document contains all information necessary to know about the amines chapter. It covers information on basicity of amines, their nomenclature, synthesis and reactions. Reactions covered include alkylation, acylation, Hoffman elimination, oxidation and sandmeyer reactions. Notes are color coded and mechanisms are shown where necessary.

This chapter contains all necessary synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids and derivatives. Derivatives covered in this chapter include acyl chlorides, acid anhydride, esters and amides. Synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids and its derivatives are included, showing mechanisms as necessary. Notes are color coded to follow through easily.

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aldehydes and ketones. It covers information including nomenclature, synthesis and reactions with strong and weak nucleophiles. It also shows how to make hemi-acetals and acetals. Other reactions include the Wittig reaction and how to synthesize and Ylide. Notes are color coded.

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aromatic compounds chapter. It starts with the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, which is the foundational knowledge needed to understand this chapter. Mechanisms include halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel Craft’s alkylation and many others. It also talks about activators and deactivators, synthesis of disubstituted benzene derivatives. It also thoroughly explains nine different reaction c...

This document is a summary of the aldehydes and ketones chapter of the organic chemistry 2 course. It is digitally taken, handwritten notes.
