To understand organic chemistry it is necessary to know:
• What occurs in a reaction?
• Why and how chemical reaction takes place?
• How a reaction can be described?
through studying The following classes of organic reaction mechanisms :
Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives
Reactions of Carboxylic, Phosphoric, and Sulfonic Acids and their Derivatives
Oxidation and Reduction
Carbenes and Nitrenes
Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Carbocations Nucleophilic Aliphatic Substitution
Carbanions and Electrophilic Aliphatic Substitution
Elimination Reactions
Polar Addition Reactions
Cycloaddition Reactions
Molecular Rearrangements
