  1. Organic Chemistry is study of materials based on carbon. Every living thing on earth involves the discipline of organic chemistry.

  2. The 19th Century: The End of Vitalism Synthesized a compound that was associated with living things from materials that were considered to come from non-living things. Wohler, 1828

  3. The 19th Century: The Commercial Edge Perkin discovers a new dye derived from organic Chemistry. He applies for a patent. Organic chemistry Is now seen as a means of making profit. Perkin, 1856

  4. The 19th Century: The Structural Theory Kekule developed the structural theory concerning the structure of carbon (tetrahedral in the arrangement of the four groups attached to the central carbon. Kekule, 1858

  5. The 20th Century: The Petroleum Industry The discovery of oil in 1908 in in Masjed Soleyman by British Petroleum launched the expanded study of carbon based compounds. The bulk of petroleum (84%) is used in energy production (fossil fuels) while the remainder is used as raw materials for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.

  6. Organic Chemistry is Everywhere

  7. The 21st Century: Organic Chemistry today. Organic Chemistry is at the core of biochemistry. All biological processes are effectively organic chemistry in action.

  8. You can succeed in organic chemistry and biochemistry

  9. Why is carbon so special?
