Carbonyl Compounds - Chemistry and Synthetic Applications

Books by Kuriya Madavu Lokanatha Rai

This book, Carbonyl Compounds – Chemistry and Synthetic Applications, is meant for M. Sc., Chemistry, M. Sc, Organic Chemistry as well as B. Sc., graduates. The chemistry of the carbonyl compound is virtually the backbone of synthetic organic chemistry. Carbonyl compounds serve as the starting material for the synthesis of various naturally occurring molecules viz., cholesterol, caryophyllene, santonin, reserpine, etc.
