Organic Chemistry

Just like how Harry Potter found a special book that helped him figure out the tips and tricks of his potions class, this notebook will give you a few tips and tricks for Organic chemistry I at Wayne State.

Addition of Hydrogen Halides to Alkenes

its contains The Reactions of Alkenes and the Stereochemistry of Addition Reactions, reactions mechanism, examples and others left for the students to do on their own.

the document contains elimination reactions E1 and E2 reactions and the mechanism.

this document contains the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (Aromatic compounds) Ar-H = aromatic compound 1. Nitration 2 sulfonation 3 halogenation 4 friedel-crafts alkylation Substituent groups on a benzene ring affect electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions in two ways: reactivity activate (faster than benzene) or deactivate (slower than benzene) orientation ortho- + para- direction or meta- direction

Alkyl Halides and Elimination Reactions and examples. You will also get some practice question for you.

This document contains summarized notes on nucleophilic substitution reaction, products stability, major products that will be formed and the likelihood of the product being formed and the most important the reaction mechanisms.

List of reactions for chapters 7,8,9. Shows the mechanism and has a detailed and easy to understand explanation. Shows elimination and substitution reactions including mechanisms, conditions and stereochemistry.

This document has all the mechanisms you need to know for Organic Chemistry I, from the start to the end of the semester. This is a great tool for the MCAT and while you review for organic chemistry!
