    PREFACE:

    I am very pleased to introduce this Reference Guide for the Foreign PharmacyLicensing Exam-Theory. After the overwhelming interest in the Reference Guide for ForeignPharmacy Licensing Exam-Second Edition, it encouraged me to write another short and compre-hensi ve guide that would help the reader to prepare for and succeed at the FPGEE.

    I tried my best to cover as much of the course as possible which is outlined in the FPGEE-syllabus.I would still recommend that students give more attention to clinical pharmacology, pharmacymanagement and pharmacoeconomics.

    I hope my efforts will bring you much success.

    Best of luck,

    Manan H. Shroff

    7-Organic/General Chemistry

    * Organic chemistry is the chemistry of the compound carbon.

    Atomic orbitals: The region in space where an electron is likely to be found is called anorbital. There are different kinds of orbitals. They have different sizes, shapes and electronoccupancies.

    * The orbital at the lowest energy level is known as 'Is orbital. It is a s~ with its centerat the atomic nucelous and therefore has less tlectron density and morelst~ility.

    The next higher energy level orbital is@'. It is larger than the "Is" orbital. Followingthese there are ~ orbitals of equal energy calle 2p 'orbitals. They are dumbbell-shaped.They are known as "2px", "2py" and "2pz".

    *

    Electron configuration (Pauli exclusion principal):

    * According to Pauli, only two electrons can occupy any atomic orbital, and they must haveopposite spins.

    Hybrid orbitals Bond angle Shape Example

    SP hybridization 180 linear BeCl2

    SP2 hybridization 120 Trigonial BF3

    SP3 hybridization 109.5 Tetrahedral CH4

    Polarity of bonds:

    * Normally, two nuclei share the electrons in covalent bonds, however many times theelectron cloud is denser at one atom than the other, depending on the electron withdrawalpower of the atom. This will make o~the bondJ.elati~ neg~tive and the otherend relatively positive; such a bond is said to be polar and possess polarity.

    EB eExample: H -- F

    * We can expect cov ent bonds to possess polarit when joined atoms have differenttendencies to attract electron. Below is the list of electronegative elements; fluorine (F)posseses the highest electronegativity. -

    EnantiomersDiastereomers

    1. Enantiomers: Stereoisomers that are mirror ima_gesof each other are defined asenantiomers.

    2. Diastereoisomers: Stereoisomers that are not mirror ima~es of each other are defined asdiastereomers.

    * Chiral: Molecules that are not su osable on their mirror images are defined as chiral.

    * Configuration: The arrangement of atoms that characterize a particular stereoisomer is calledits configuration.

    Geometric isomer: The particular kind of diastereomers that owe their existence tohindered rotation about double bonds are called geometric isomers. They are normallyprefixed by "cis" (on the same side) and "trans" (across).

    H rc0---C~IIC

    H~~

    H~~C

    II(-------xC~ ~H

    Cis 2-ButeneCis = same side

    Trans 2-ButeneTrans = across

    * There is an interesting characteristic about the above two model.@iSomerof2-Butene is '(less stable)than the trans isomer of 2-Butene. The reason behind this is that methyl groupsare well separated in trans isomer, however they are closel enoug,h i cis position to causecrowding and instability.

    1. In Cis 2-Butene, methyl groups are on the same side of the molecule, whereas in Trans 2-Butene, methyl groups are on opposite sides of a molecule.

    Cis 2-ButeneCis = same side

    Trans 2-ButeneTrans = across

    (Examples of cis and trans 2-Butene)

    Z and E isomers: The specification of Z and E isomers can be explained as follows:

    In order to specify, we need to find out the group of higher riority (higher\atomic number)on the one carbon atom and the group of higher priority on the other carbon atom.

    G Effects of substituent groups: Sulfonation of toluene generally yields ortho and paratoluene sulfonic acid. Meta isomers of this compounds are very difficult to obtain. This canbe explained by the effects of substituents.

    * The substituent groups that offer ortho and para isomers of the parent compound arecalled ortho-para directors.
