Organic Chemistry Study Guide: Complete Review for College, Pre-Med & the MCAT | Reaction Mechanisms, Functional Groups & Synthesis + 2 Full-Length Practice Exams (Chemistry Mastery Series)

Product Information

Product Description

You redrew the mechanism from memory and it made sense on the page. Then the exam handed you a molecule you had never seen and asked you to predict the product, and the memorized list was useless.That's because organic chemistry was never a memorization subject. It's a reasoning subject that gets taught as one. This guide rebuilds the course around a single rule: electrons flow from where they are rich to where they are poor. Learn to read a structure for that rule, and reactions stop being a list to recall and become outcomes you can predict.Picking up exactly where Book 1 of the Chemistry Mastery Series leaves off, this guide walks you through:Structure, bonding, functional groups, and nomenclatureStereochemistry and acid-base reasoningCurved-arrow mechanisms for substitution, elimination, and additionCarbonyl and aromatic chemistry, then spectroscopyEvery chapter closes with tiered review questions, and a dedicated appendix hands you four step-by-step frameworks: how to predict any reaction, choose between SN1, SN2, E1, and E2, assign R/S configuration, and solve a structure from its spectra.Then you test it for real. Two full-length, 90-minute practice exams, 120 points each, fully explained, paced like the ACS exam and the MCAT.Reasoning replaces memorizing.Scroll up and grab your copy. Read more
