Organic chemistry synthesis has been on continuous evolution to higher
and new domains since its first emergence in the early 19th century.
Modern medicine, cosmetics, polymers and plastics, energy fuels,
nutritional food among others are some of the direct products and
applications of the knowledge in organic chemistry. It has, in turn, become
important to champion and support the evolution and advancement in the
art and science of organic compounds or chemistry synthesis. Divided into
different areas, one major branch in chemistry that has over the years
evolved in terms of its use by people is organic chemistry. According to
Nicolaou (2018), organic chemistry has turned to be a creative branch of
science in which scientists create new model molecules as well as explore
properties of existing ones.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.

This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for

being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.

important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.
Fig 1.1 Branches of Organic Chemistry
The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from

food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection

as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.

resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.
Fig 1.1 Branches of Organic Chemistry
The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to

later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.

metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
causing gout. Finally, in medicine, organic chemistry is utilized in the
diagnosis of diseases, whereby the chemistry is applied to diagnose the
organic part of the infectious substance.
Known as some of the material made of carbon and hydrogen, diamond
and graphite have been a key raw material for the production of valuables.
Over the years, there has been an increased demand for ornamental
products for individuals and corporate use. These include necklaces,
trophy’s, statues among others. Since the invention of the diamond as one
of the hydrocarbon compounds, the jewelry industry has directly
depended on the material for its products (Kustov, 2016). For example
making of expensive ornaments, necklaces, earrings, wedding rings, etc.,
has been the sole survival avenue for companies such as De Beers, which
produce a diamond in addition to owning the most diamond globally. In
addition to valuables, petroleum remains an integral product that impacts
the global economy. Its primary source is hydrocarbons, hence being a key
part of organic chemistry.
The increase in population globally has led to a high demand for quality
food to feed the human race. This has, in turn, led to detailed analysis to
understand food structure and in turn, understand the best-suited food for
both people and animals. According to Konovalov et al (2018), food
materials are entirely comprised of carbon compounds. For example
carbohydrates (CHO), the proteins which are denoted as (NH2-CH-COOH),
and fats (CH-COO-CH), where all are a key part of human food
consumption. Through the organic chemistry analysis, there has been a
breakthrough in understanding the amount of fat in a certain food type.
This, in turn, allows physicians to advise patients such as heart patients to
undertake minimal fat consumption in their diets. On the other hand, for
people in need of bodybuilding, they are advised for high consumption of
protein-rich diets (Konovalov et al, 2018). This ability to understand which
food benefits a person has been made possible through the evolution of
the use and application of organic chemistry knowledge. In connection
with food, organic chemistry is utilized in the preparation of drinks such as
alcohol as well as regulating the quality and flavor.
The production of rubber and plastic has had its primary ideas based on
organic chemistry synthesis. This is whereby monomers are produced and
later combine to form polymers. With the increased demand for
conservation of the global forests, the human being has been forced to
turn to rubber and plastic for their daily use such as containers,
households, etc. the evolution in organic chemistry has greatly influenced
the production synthetic rubber. This is through the emulsion
polymerization method (Stephenson, 2013). For example, the use of
polyester material in the clothing industry is based on plastic chemistry
involving organic chemistry. The impact of plastics production and usage
greatly impacts the bottling companies with the majority of them relying
on organic chemistry knowledge to remain in the business.

Studied as a branch in organic chemistry, Petro-chemistry is an area that
studies the transformation of petroleum gases as well as natural gas into
useful products. Today, petroleum products have become key economic
influencers. This is due to a high dependence on fuel as a source of energy.
Derived from crude oil, organic chemists have been able to derive a host
of products for human use (Matar & Hatch, 2001). The main ingredients of
this field of chemistry are the aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, which
have their basis related to organic chemistry. Over the years, effective
methods have been established to purify crude oil into a host of related
products. For example, the process produces methane which is used fuel,
ethylene used in making lubricants and plastics, propylene used as fuel
among many other by-products (Matar & Hatch, 2001). In summary, the
byproducts in crude oil refinery serve as feedstock for the production of
thousands of products useful in human life.
In conclusion, the organic chemistry field remains an active field of
chemistry. This is due to its vast applicability to varying fields such as
biochemistry such as the pharmaceutical industry, and petrochemistry
such as the energy industry. Despite having a relatively recent history, the
use and applicationof organic chemistry will continue to have an enormous
important future, affecting people all around the globe for many more
years to come. The uses of organic chemistry has, in turn, evolved from
mild application in the human history to today’s vast application in
different fields such as medicine, food, textile, energy and valuable jewelry,
etc. increase in human population continued to exert pressure on existing
resources, and in turn the application of organic chemistry will continue to
play an important role in life improvement in different fields.
Found in almost every compound surrounding human life, organic
chemistry and compounds have been central to the economic growth of
different countries. This has been through the production of substances
such as rubber, fuel, plastics, cosmetics, coatings, to name but a few.
Additionally, fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and biotechnology
have their basis on the organic compounds, hence highlighting the
importance of organic chemistry globally. More so, different other high-
tech materials are at least partially comprised of organic compounds
(Kustov, 2016). Professionals in the field of organic chemistry focused on
the creation of new compounds as well as developing better ways of
synthesizing previously existing compounds. This essay focuses on the
evolution of the uses of organic chemistry in the world.

The evolution in technology which has been witnessed today has to a great
extent has contributed to the organic chemistry field advancement. This is
whereby chemists have been able to establish new and useful products to
the human race. The technological advancement has directly impacted the
organic compounds usability from minimal to one of the sort after the
foundation of some of the most used products such as plastics energy, and
rubber. The continued innovation and scientific research has increased the
use of organic chemistry knowledge in improving people’s lives in different
ways. For example one of the recent year’s inventions and breakthroughs
in medicine field has been production of artificial organs. Not only has
these improved peoples but also expanded on the organic chemistry use
in the current decade. This was however an unheard of application of the
technology, hence a positive evolution.
Over the man’s history, medicine has been an important product in fighting
diseases. These have been both preventive and curative medicines.
According to (), medicinal products has been an organic compound
application, and hence one of the major breakthroughs with the
advancement in organic chemistry is the production of medicines. Though
not all medicines, quite a good number of drugs have their primary source
being organic chemistry knowledge. In the field of medicine, organic
chemistry finds its way through three major ways. These include; making
of drugs studying disease and also for diagnosis.
As a result of the applicability of organic chemistry in the medical field, the
advancement in the field has resulted in the improvement of people’s lives
as well as providing a cure for some of the stubborn cases of infections
such as cancers (Nicolaou, 2018). For example, in the pathophysiology of
diseases, organic chemistry knowledge has helped towards an
understanding of the gout infections. In gout, there is interference in the
purine metabolism process. The uric acid that is produced from the purine
metabolism fails to breakdown into urea and in turn accumulates in joints
