Review of organic functional groups with emphasis on the physicochemical properties of biological importance such as carboxylic acid and its derivatives, amines, sulfuric acids and sulfonic acids, sulfonamides, carbonates and urea's. Chemistry of aliphatic and aromatic heterocycles with emphasis on five and six membered ring and fused rings heterocycles. Stereochemistry of organic compounds; chirality, enatiomers and diasteriomers, conformational and geometrical isomerism, and the stereoselectivity in nature.
