Organic Chemistry Discussion Section

Interested in chemistry? Having problems with organic chemistry? No worries. We got it here just for you.

Deduction of chemical structures, multi-step synthesis, IUPAC nomenclature problems, you name it, we'll solve it.

I'll do it in two fashions:
1) Answering problems that you may have
2) Looking for problems on a certain topic and you can try them (solutions are on the next page after the problems end).

Looking forward to your questions =^w^=

I'm gonna create a Weebly site with all the tutorials stored there as well. =^w^=

 

Mew ish requesting for co-authors for this discussion section... Nyaa~!

Also I have already created the Weebly site... http://lvorganichem.weebly.com is the link Nyaa!

The first set of things that I uploaded:
1) IUPAC Nomenclature 1 - Priorities of Functional Groups, E/Z and R/S conventions.
2) IUPAC Nomenclature 2 - priorities of Functional Groups, cis/trans conventions and Elaboration of first point of difference rule.

 

Tell Mew... Which topic should Mew cover next?

 

Hi @[member="Zero Sifr"],

I believe this should be the purview of physical chemistry, but the concept would prove useful for organic chemistry especially when we discuss carboxylic acids, amines and amino acids. So I've uploaded a write-up to the Q&A Section of our website (http://lvorganichem.weebly.com) for the discussion section (you gotta click on the menu button for it). The document name is qna_1.pdf.

Anyways, we would be moving on into the next module of this discussion section after IUPAC nomenclature, and that would be looking at the various reagents and terminologies when we talk about reactions pertaining to organic molecules. We would start off with talking about electrophiles and nucleophiles.

Linking back to Zero's question, acids are in general electrophiles and bases are in general nucleophiles.
