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.
