Master organic chemistry with joechem's comprehensive educational resources. Browse all organic chemistry topics, videos, worksheets, and solutions on joechem Free educational resources for organic chemistry i and ii. Now begins what i consider the fun part of organic chemistry In this series, we'll tackle sn2, e2, sn1, and e1, and we'll do so by taking each reaction pathway one at a time and exploring it in depth.

Get to know the person behind the free organic chemistry education. With our first reaction and mechanism in the books, we now usher in a topic of organic chemistry called stereochemistry This series kicks off with a brief overview of isomerism (structural, geometric, and most importantly stereo) and then shifts completely to stereochemistry. Now that we have our gen chem fundamentals down, we journey into the land of alkanes, our first true taste of organic chemistry. Benzene is going to become our best friend in this series, and we'll see how, even though it is rock solid stable due to its aromaticity, to do chemical transformations with benzene and benzene derivatives. Joechemists, welcome to gen chem boot camp
There is a lot of information My biggest piece of advice is to practice the mechanisms (forward and reverse direction) and truly understand the concepts going on Taking a memorization approach will have you lost in a sea of acetals, imines, enamines, etc This is manageable, and the chemistry is wicked cool.
