This package includes all of my notes from O-Chem 1. These notes contain all of the content from Chapters 4- 13 which will help students pass Exams 2, 3, 4 and the final exam. These notes include lecture notes, diagrams, tables and practice problems that help visualize all concepts. These are the notes that helped me pass with a good grade!

Chapters 12 and 13 wrap up the Organic Chemistry 1 class. We begin Chapter 12 to learn about alcohols and phenols. Students should already have extensive knowledge about alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. They will then learn how the IUPAC name for alcohols differs slightly. They will also learn about oxidation and reduction reactions and how to recognize one. Additionally, students will learn about Grignard reagents and how they contribute to oxidation and reduction reactions. It is also important f...

Chapter 7 is a two week long chapter that introduces substitution and elimination reactions. Students will learn the reaction mechanisms for Sn1, Sn2, E1 and E2 reactions. They will also begin to understand the difference between protic and aprotic solvents, as well as what reagents are weak or strong nucleophiles and/or weak or strong bases. Understanding this concept will allow students to decide when a reaction will be an elimination and/or substitution reaction. These notes provide in-depth ...

Chapter 9 introduces alkynes. Students should already have prior knowledge about alkenes and will be pleased to know that the IUPAC naming system is similar. Students will learn how alkynes can be reduced into alkenes or alkanes. It is also important to take note of the different reagents and bases used to carry out these reactions. Students will also learn how carbon atoms can be added to or eliminated from a chain. Chapter 10 then introduces radical reactions which will be a very new concept t...

Chapters 4, 5 and 6 introduce naming alkanes (single-bonded carbons) using the IUPAC system. Additionally, students learn how to distinguish between angle strain and torsional strain and how this concept relates to the amount of energy that a molecule holds. Learning about stereoisomerism is essentially to chapter 5 as this plays a role into how two similar (or different) molecules can be classified. Chapter 6 then introduces chemical reactivity and mechanisms of organic molecules. For example, ...
