Functional Group Chemistry presents the chemistry of functional
groups with an emphasis on patterns of reactivity, the consequences
of the relative electronegativity of the atoms that constitute
functional groups, the role of lone pairs and the stereochemistry
of reactions at a particular group. The material is presented in
four chapters. The first chapter describes some of the general
principles that affect the reactivity of functional groups. The
second chapter examines the chemistry of functional groups
involving - C-X bonds as in alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers, amines
and organometallic reagents. The third chapter covers the chemistry
of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical -bonded functional groups,
typified by alkenes and carbonyl groups. The final chapter
concentrates on aromatic compounds. It is concerned with the
interactions between an aromatic ring and functional groups that
are attached to it, such as their effect on the orientation of
aromatic substitution. Each chapter concludes with a series of
problems. The chemistry of the functional groups is considered here
with a mechanistic rationale. Students are encouraged to consider
the reactivity of functional groups in terms of their regions of
electron deficiency and excess, and hence to identify the sites at
which nucleophiles and electrophiles might react. Additional
material is available on the website at www.rsc.org/tct Ideal for
the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry
Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or
modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry
taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a
concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject,
embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked
examples.
