organic compound identification

Introduction - Organic compounds are isolated either from natural sources or from reaction mixtures. These compounds are seldom pure and are usually contaminated with small amounts of other similar compounds, which are found to exist together or formed during..

Introduction - The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. All organic compounds can be derived from hydrocarbons by substituting a hydrogen atom with a suitable functional group. Replacing a hydrogen atom by a OH group in a hydrocarbon, gives an alcohol..

As the earth cooled further, the primitive inorganic molecules interacted and combined with one another to form simple organic compounds. Simple sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids and nitrogen bases (purines and pyrimidines) were probably the simple organic ..

The smaller and simpler organic compounds that were formed initially in the earth, gradually started combining among themselves to form complex organic compounds. Simple sugars combined among themselves to form complex polysaccharides such as starch and cellu..
