Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis concerned with the construction of organic compounds. Organic compounds are molecules consisting of

chemicals studied in organic chemistry includes hydrocarbons (compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen) as well as compounds based on carbon, but

branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles. Examples of heterocyclic compounds include

also contended that compounds could be distinguished by whether they required any organisms in their synthesis (organic compounds) or whether they did

modifies them into new compounds. Inorganic synthesis and organometallic synthesis are used to prepare compounds with significant non-organic content. An illustrative

Organic reductions or organic oxidations or organic redox reactions are redox reactions that take place with organic compounds. In organic chemistry oxidations

Total synthesis, a specialized area within organic chemistry, focuses on constructing complex organic compounds, especially those found in nature, using

synthetic organic compounds such as plastic polymers, and a few natural ones, contain halogen atoms; they are known as halogenated compounds or organohalogens

resistant to fuels and oils. Organic compounds containing multiple nitrile groups are known as cyanocarbons. Inorganic compounds containing the −C≡N group
