Organic Chemistry Mechanisms

Attention: Currently, we can only accept a limited number of new students due to the Fall semester availability. If you'd like to guarantee yourself a place, apply ASAP.

Organic Chemistry Mechanisms

We will explore tips and strategies for all the common mechanisms in Organic I, Organic II, and Biochemistry Topics. See the course content below for full description.

Course content

The Organic Chemistry Mechanisms session includes the following:

✓  Free radical halogenation

✓  SN1, SN2, E1, E2

✓  Alkene addition reactions

✓  Hydroboration, Oxymercuration

✓  Aldehyde and ketone addition reactions

✓  Williamson ether synthesis

  Ketals, acetals, and lactone reactions

  Aldo condensation

  Claisen condensation

  Friedel -Crafts Alkylation

  Diels-Alder Reaction

  Alcohol dehydrations and derivatizations

  Sigmatropic rearrangements
