Aliphatic Compounds

Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds: A Modern Comprehensive Treatise, Second Edition, Volume I, Part B: Monohydric Alcohols: Their Ethers and Esters, Sulfur Analogues, Nitrogen Derivatives, Organometallic Compounds focuses on the reactions, characteristics, transformations, and methodologies involved in halogeno- and nitroalkanols, singly-linked, mono-substituted, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and sulfur analogues of alcohols and their derivatives. The selection first offers information on the ethers and esters of monohydric alcohols and sulfur analogues of alcohols and their derivatives. Topics include alkyl peroxides, esters of mineral or organic acids, sulfides or thio-esters, alkyl polysulfides, alkylthiosulfuric acids, dialkyl sulfoxides or alkylsulphinylalkanes, and sulfones. The book also considers nitrogen derivatives of aliphatic hydrocarbons, as well as amines and quaternary ammonium compounds, nitro-and nitroso-compounds, and N-substituted derivatives of the alkylamines. The publication takes a look at aliphatic organometallic and organometalloidal compounds. Discussions focus on beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium, lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium, and boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. The text is a valuable reference for readers interested in carbon compounds.

Rodd’s Chemistry of Carbon Compounds Volume 1F: Aliphatic Compounds Penta- and Higher Polyhydric Alcohols focuses on acyclic compounds derivatives, monosaccharide, and related components. It discusses oligosaccharides and polysaccharides and related compounds. Some of the topics covered in the book are the nomenclature, stereochemistry, and structural representation of alcohols; preparations, chromatographic separation, and synthesis of alditols; conformational analysis of monosaccharide; functional derivatives of monosaccharide; and natural sources and properties of glycosides. The reactions and derivatives of alditols are also covered. Isotopically labeled carbohydrates; trisaccharides; and glycoproteins of animal origin and complex polysaccharides are discussed. The molecular structure of nitrogen-containing trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides is also presented. The book can provide useful information to chemists, students, and researchers.

Organic Chemistry for General Degree Students is written to meet the requirements of the London General Internal examination and degree examinations of a similar standing. It will also provide for the needs of students taking the Part 1 examination for Graduate Membership of the Royal Institute of Chemistry, or the Higher National Certificate, whilst the treatment is such that Ordinary National Certificate courses can be based on the first two volumes Within the limits broadly defined by the syllabus, the aim of this first volume is to provide a concise summary of the important general methods of preparation and properties of the main classes of aliphatic compounds. Due attention is paid to practical considerations with particular reference to important industrial processes. At the same time, the fundamental theoretical principles of organic chemistry are illustrated by the discussion of a selection of the more important reaction mechanisms. Questions and problems are included, designed to test the student’s appreciation of the subject and his ability to apply the principles embodied therein. A selection of questions set in the relevant examinations is also included.
