In this post, we will learn naming alkenes by the IUPAC Nomenclature Rules including when the E and Z configuration needs to be addressed.

Grignard Reaction involves an Organometallic R-X attacking aldehydes or ketones to form alcohols in chain elongation reactions. +Cheat Sheet

Today students learned about endo and exothermic reactions. Endothermic reactions absorb heat and get warmer (End Up). Exothermic reacti...

Functional Group Priorities for Nomenclature

Carbohydrates- Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

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

A leaving group is a nucleophile acting in reverse; it accepts a lone pair as the bond between it and its neighbor (usually carbon for our purposes) is broken. So what makes a good leaving group? Good leaving groups are weak bases.
