Organic Chemistry - plenty of worked examples, tables, coloured diagrams and summaries of key reactions

Description

Studying Organics for Specialised Topics B and overwhelmed by the sheer number of reactions? I've compiled every single reaction you would ever need to know for the subject into my summary notes. I'm a huge fan of diagrams, tables and colour-coding to organise ideas effectively - if you'd like a sample of my style, I've included quite a few pages on the right! Topics covered in these notes: 1. Carbene Chemistry 2. Synthesis of carbenes 3. Carbenoid 4. Simmons Smith Reagent 5. Wolff Rearrangement 6. Retrosynthetic Analysis 7. One Functional Group Disconnections 8. Enolate + Aldol Chemistry (Including: Silyl Enol Ethers & Intramolecular aldol reactions) 9. Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction 10. PKa summary Reactions 12. Robinson annulation 13. Enamine conjugate addition 14. Claisen and Dieckmann condensations 15. Reformatsky reaction 16. Thorpe reaction – Nitrile deprotonation 17. Nitroaldol (Henry) reaction 18. Sulfur-stabilised anions and their reactions 19. Umpolung as a synthetic tool 20. Julia Reaction 21. N-heterocyclic carbenes 22. Stetter Reaction 23. Organpalladium: formation of new C-C bonds 24. Heck Reaction 25. Intramolecular cyclisations – Exo mode preferred 26. Negishi Cross Coupling Reaction – Pd and Zn 27. Suzuki Cross Coupling Reaction – Pd and B 28. Stille Cross Coupling reaction – Pd and Sn 29. Carbonylative Stille cross-coupling 30. Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction – copper + terminal alkyne + haloalkene 31. Olefin cross-metathesis: 32. Grubb’s Catalyst: 33. Enyne Metathesis This is part 2 in a 2-part organic notes series. Due to the size of my notes (66 pages) I've had to split them up into two sections, but you should find Part 1 in the "suggested" bar of links on the bottom right. I had fun writing these notes and I hope you find them a great help! They definitely helped me feel confident knowing all the reactions for the quiz and exam. Good luck with all your studies in chemistry :)
