      The purification of organic compounds is necessary, though a complex step after its extraction from a natural source or synthesis in the laboratory.  The method of purification of the organic compound depends mainly on the nature of the compound and the impurities present.

      One easy method to check the purity of an organic compound is to either melt or boil it, as organic compounds tend to have sharp melting and boiling points.


    • QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Book

      Quantitative analysis is an analysis method used to determine the number of elements or molecules produced during a chemical reaction.  Organic compounds comprise carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and halogens. The various methods used for the measurement of the percentage composition of elements in an organic compound are explained here

    • NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONAL GROUP CLASSES Book

      Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds, which make up the foundation of life and countless materials we use daily. The sheer diversity of organic molecules makes it essential to have a systematic way of naming compounds — this is where nomenclature comes in.

    • THE NOMENCLATURE OF COMPOUNDS OF ALKANOLS (ALCOHOLS) Book
      • Alkanols, commonly called alcohols, are organic compounds with one or more hydroxyl groups (–OH) bonded to saturated carbon atoms (sp³-hybridized).
      • Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry — found in everything from beverages to antiseptics to fuels.

    • IUPAC Nomenclature of Alkanoic Acids (Carboxylic Acids) Book
      • Carboxylic acids are organic compounds containing the carboxyl group (–COOH).
      • Their systematic IUPAC names end in –oic acid, derived from the longest chain containing the –COOH group.

      Carboxylic acids are a very important functional group in organic chemistry, found in many natural and synthetic compounds
