What to study in organic chemistry? General organic chemistry(Ref:Peter Sykes) Electrophiles & Nucleophiles: Which type of systems act as E+ or Nu-? Same system act as E+ or Nu- depending on which system it reacts. Acidity and Basicity: General idea of order of acidity and basicity. Bronsted & Lewis theory. Effect of back-bonding, aromaticity, SIR,etc.

Funda is conjugate acid or conjugate base as the case may be if stable then that base or acid is strong. Solvent and its role in reaction mechanism. Inductive effect, Hyperconjugation, Resonance. Aromaticity. Tautomerism (keto-enol) Keto-Enol Ratio – Various factors like relief of angle strain. Solvent & Temp. Effect on Keto-Enol Ratio

H-Bonding: Some cases for which gemdiol is stable. Nu - of ions in protic and aprotic solvent. Effect of H-Bond on acidity,basicity,B.P. Order,H-Bonding during tautomerism.

Practical Organic Chemistry Lassaigne Test Test For functional group(Amines, Amides, Substituted Amides, Nitro, Cyanide, Isocyanide,Imine, Nitroso) Separation of mixtures

Preparation and reactions of : 1.Aldehyde & ketone 2.Carboxylic acids 3.Hydrocarbons 4.Amines 5.Alcohols

Try to identify the link between chapters. That can be achieved by knowing method of interconversion. Conversion should be properly done with the sole purpose of getting maximum yield of product. In Roadmap problems clue of the solution should be identified.it is generally advisable in such problems to start from the end. Practising will bring about the knowledge of reagents to be used.Understanding mechanism& electron movement will lead to know intermediates in a reaction(v.v.I.)
