These are summary notes. for the ethers and epoxides chapter. They are handwritten notes taken digitally. Information in the document walks you through the entire chapter, making note of small and necessary, but often forgotten information. Additionally, the notes cover information from nomenclature, to synthesis followed by reactions. Synthesis and reactions are accompanied by mechanisms when necessary. As a bonus, the notes are color coded to make it easier to follow through. Overall, looking ...

This bundle contains all the notes from the Organic Chemistry 2 course. These notes are handwritten notes taken digitally. They are color coded, organized by chapter and subtopics. All notes follow in the following format: nomenclature, synthesis, reactions and include other extra notes in between. Notes are extremely detailed and show mechanism.

This document includes lecture notes about the amino acids chapter. It uses nine amino acids to explore the properties and reactions of amino acids. Reactions covered include amino acid synthesis and polypeptide chain synthesis. Notes are color coded.

This document contains all information necessary to know about carbohydrates for an organic chemistry 2 course. It includes a list of all the basic carbohydrates known. It includes explanations about the nature of carbohydrates and their nomenclature. Other information includes intramolecular reactions of carbohydrates, ester formation reactions, glycoside formation, reduction and oxidation reactions. Other important reactions include chain lengthening (Kiliani-Fischer) and shortening (Wonl) rea...

This document contains all information necessary to know about the amines chapter. It covers information on basicity of amines, their nomenclature, synthesis and reactions. Reactions covered include alkylation, acylation, Hoffman elimination, oxidation and sandmeyer reactions. Notes are color coded and mechanisms are shown where necessary.

This chapter contains all necessary information needed to know about the alpha carbon chemistry of carbonyl compounds. These notes are color coded. It contains information about acidity, enolization, alpha halogenation, aldol and claisen condensation reactions, malonic and acetoacetic ester synthesis, conjugate addition and michael addition reactions. Reactions and mechanisms are shown clearly with arrows, and explanations as necessary.

This chapter contains all necessary synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids and derivatives. Derivatives covered in this chapter include acyl chlorides, acid anhydride, esters and amides. Synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids and its derivatives are included, showing mechanisms as necessary. Notes are color coded to follow through easily.

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aldehydes and ketones. It covers information including nomenclature, synthesis and reactions with strong and weak nucleophiles. It also shows how to make hemi-acetals and acetals. Other reactions include the Wittig reaction and how to synthesize and Ylide. Notes are color coded.

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the reactions of aromatic compounds chapter. It starts with the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, which is the foundational knowledge needed to understand this chapter. Mechanisms include halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, Friedel Craft’s alkylation and many others. It also talks about activators and deactivators, synthesis of disubstituted benzene derivatives. It also thoroughly explains nine different reaction c...

This document contains digitally taken, handwritten notes for the introduction to aromatic compounds chapter. Notes in this chapter cover aromaticity, including Huckel’s number. It also includes a list of the most common aromatic compounds that must be memorized, naming di- and tri- substituted benzene derivatives. Lastly, it includes reactions on the side chain of a benzene ring, showing mechanisms as necessary as well as notes that further explain anything that may be difficult to understa...
