 Organic chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Organic chemistry as a science is generally agreed to have started in 1828 with Friedrich Woehler's synthesis of the biologically significant compound urea by accidentally evaporating an aqueous solution of ammonium cyanate NH OCN, now called the Wöhler synthesis.
Organic chemistry is that part of chemistry concerned with the composition, structure, properties, reactions and synthesis of organic compounds.
Organic compounds tend to be much more soluble in organic solvents such as ether or alcohol, but the solubility in each solute depends upon the functional groups present and on the overall structure.

 Organic Chemistry:
It is therefore tempting to identify organic chemistry as the chemistry of carbon.
Even though organic chemistry focuses on compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen, more than 95% of the compounds that have isolated from natural sources or synthesized in the laboratory are organic.
The special role of carbon in the chemistry of the elements is the result of a combination of factors, including the number of valence electrons on a neutral carbon atom, the electronegativity of carbon, and the atomic radius of carbon atoms (see the table below).
