Learn Organic Chemistry (Part III)

The third part of “Learn Organic Chemistry” focuses mainly on the various species formed during organic reactions starting with electrophiles and nucleophiles. The nature and action of these electrohilic and nucleophilic species is explained elaborately through different examples.

The next section is about the short-lived intermediates formed during organic reactions by homolytic and heterolytic bond fission – carbocations, carbanions, free radicals and carbenes. Each of these have been discussed in detail with regards to their reactivity, geometry and stability order.

The last section focuses briefly on the importance and correct usage of curved arrows while writing organic reactions.

Each of the above section is supported by solved practice problems and NOTES (downloadable).
