As a discussion leader, it is my duty to make sure that you guys learn the material and understand the concepts and mechanisms involved in Organic Chemistry. More importantly, I hope to pass on a passion for those possibly interested in Organic Chemistry. It is a difficult subject, but nevertheless easy to master if you approached the subject the right way.

This website has been created on January 05, 2007 and will be updated periodically over the years. It contains concise information on the main topics in Organic Chemistry. I do not particularly like the idea of giving away answers since I feel that it is the student's responsibility to pick up problem-solving skills, and eventually find the joy of learning and discovery. Hence I will touch on the main issues in the textbook (Vollhardt and Schore), emphasizing certain tricks and theories outside the book, and will post extra questions and exercises that is unattainable from the book.

My approach to Organic Chemistry will be from a structural point of view, stressing the understanding of the general structure of a number of organic molecules, identifying functional groups, predicting possible electronic environments of molecules, and finally use these fundamental ideas to solve the notorious problems in Organic Chemistry that really don't "require much memorization".

Material content is placed in the central region of [OCR]

The left link bar links you to other sites in [OCR] that focus on subject material and concepts.

Example: sends you to the subpage: "Structures".

 

2/3

The right link bar links you to other sites in/out [OCR] that contain resources such as practice problems and reaction summaries.

Teleports you back to the homepage.

Sends you to the workpage with practice problems. More homework!!

Drop an email or question here.

Links you to the Reaction Summary page. This is a useful page for last-minute revision although I don't recommend it.

 

The navigation bar above the green title navigates you throughout the current page.

I hope that this webpage is visibly clear, and "pretty" in a sense to encourage user-interaction while learning Organic Chemistry. Please provide feedback so that I may improve the website when I have free time.
