Organic Chemistry
Study of carbon-containing compounds and their reactions.
Study Strategies
Mastering Reaction Types
Get to Know the Patterns
Most organic reactions fit into a few categories. By recognizing patterns—like substitution, addition, and elimination—you can predict what happens next in a reaction. Make flashcards, draw mechanisms, and quiz yourself to reinforce these concepts!
Examples
Draw an example of each reaction type to build memory.
Group practice sessions to quiz on reaction categories.
