The third, fully updated edition of Applied Organic Chemistry: Cyclic Compounds & Industrial Applications bridges scientific knowledge and global industrial production. This work is the second volume in the Applied Organic Chemistry series and provides a comprehensive scientific foundation in the chemistry and technology of products manufactured on an industrial scale, which drive the global economy.
The book is divided into two parts. Part One focuses on Cyclic Compounds, examining the chemistry and applications of alicyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, with particular emphasis on stereochemistry and aromaticity. Part Two covers Industrial Applications and presents hydrocarbons and fuels, industrial polymers, pharmaceuticals, paints and detergents, as well as industrial hygiene and safety, linking theory with contemporary technological, research and legislative developments.
This new edition incorporates the latest scientific developments, including research on microplastics and “forever chemicals”, offering a contemporary perspective on the environmental challenges of the 21st century. The book is an essential resource for students of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, as well as for any scientist seeking to understand Organic Chemistry as a highly applied field with a far-reaching social and economic impact.
