Organic Chemistry If you can pass organic you are well on your way to being a chemistry major
The five most important concepts to take away from Organic Chemistry…
IUPAC & Naming Electron Movement & Mechanisms Thermodynamics & Kinetics Chirality & Isomerism Spectroscopy & Lab Techniques
IUPAC & Naming
Naming Locant – Prefix – Parent – Suffix Locant: Where are the substituents? Prefix: What are the substituents? Parent: How many carbons? Suffix: What is primary functional group?
Functional Groups
Cis and Trans (E and Z) Entgegen = opposite zusammen = together
