Organic Chemistry can be difficult and confusing. The goal of this article is to simply and explain the naming process for organic compounds.
Organic Chemistry Functional Groups Chart Basic principles in organic chemistry: Functional groups List of functional groups in organic chemistry The knowledge of some basic functional groups and how they react would give us tremendous leverage to tackle the problem of predicting chemical reactivity in organic chemistry. Following is the table of the common functional groups
This reagent guide is written to minimize the struggle of searching reagents. Most of those used in Organic 1 and 2 are summarized in an easy to navigate order.
Organic Chemistry Reactivity: Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Types of Reactions Electrophiles and Nucleophiles In in this post I want to look at the difference between the nucleophiles and electrophiles, what those are, how to identify them in a reaction, and some common examples you’re going to see in your organic chemistry course. So, first off, let’s talk...
With it being half term here in the UK, what better use of sudden vast amounts of free time could there be than making an organic chemistry reaction map?...
Aromatic amines react with nitrous acid to give diazonium salts. These can undergo further reactions (such as the Sandmeyer reaction) giving useful products
Substitution and elimination reactions (between Lewis-bases and alkyl-halides) are some of the first reactions taught in organic chemistry. The figure above, organizes the main factors that distinquish: SN1, SN2, E1 or E2 mechanisms into a single, 4-quadrant spectrum. We describe … Continue reading →
Here's a list of must-know reactions of carboxylic acids that you wanna know if you want to ace your organic chemistry test!
Organic Chemistry Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes and ketones are the two functional groups that share a lot of similarities. They both contain the C=O double bond, they both are polarized and have a δ+ charge on carbon and a δ- charge on oxygen. Thus, due to the structural similarity, aldehydes and ketones have many reactions...
This cheat sheet provides a quick overview of the important concepts and reactions related to aromatic compounds in organic chemistry. It covers topics such as aromaticity, electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions, Friedel-Crafts reactions, and various reductions and functional group conversions. This concise reference guide can be helpful for students or professionals who need a quick review of the key concepts in organic chemistry related to aromatic compounds
Markovnikov vs Anti-Markovnikov in Alkene Addition Reactions Tutorial for Organic Chemistry Students -Step by step how to decide which products will form! Mark or AntiMark? Markovnikov’s rule is less about memorizing what goes where and more about understanding that if there’s a carbocation intermediate it will form on the most substituted carbon atom.
Organic Chemistry Enols and Enolates Enolization of Carbonyls In the previous tutorial, we’ve talked about the factors that affect the acidity of carbonyls. In this tutorial, I wanna talk about the effects of the base on the enolization of carbonyls equilibrium. Let’s look at a simple equilibrium between a ketone and some sort of a...
In this post, we will learn naming alkenes by the IUPAC Nomenclature Rules including when the E and Z configuration needs to be addressed.
Functional groups are structural units that determine the chemical reactivity of a molecule under a given set of conditions. Organic compounds are classified into several major categories based on the functional groups they contain. In the systematic names of organic compounds, numbers indicate the positions of functional groups in the basic hydrocarbon framework.
Biochemistry is the discipline that studies the chemistry of life, and its objective is to explain form and function based on chemical principles. Organic chemistry is the discipline devoted to the study of carbon-based chemistry, which is the foundation for the study of biomolecules and the discipline of biochemistry. Both biochemistry and organic chemistry are based on the concepts of general chemistry.
Very simple way for IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds- monofunctional and polyfunctional compounds with priority order of functional groups.
This Organic Chemistry Reactions Worksheet is suitable for 10th - Higher Ed. In this organic chemistry reactions learning exercise, students are given a table with 8 different types of reactions that occur with organic molecules. Students answer 3 questions about the reactions given in the table and indicate which reactions would be use to make certain given organic compounds.
Retrosynthesis Organic Chemistry Tutorial for Organic Chemistry Students - You are given a complex molecule and then asked to synthesize it from a given starting molecule or a set of reaction conditions. Here are some key questions to ask yourself and STAY on the right path to full credit for your retrosynthesis problems.

Aromatic Compounds and Their Reactions Organic Chemistry Cheat Sheet Aromatic compound Styrene Benzene Xylene Naphthalene Toluene Biphenyl Organic compound Azulene Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution. The order of substitution on aromatic compounds is governed by the
