Eresorganic

– an online resource for students of Introductory Organic Chemistry CHEM2401

eResorganic is a series of audio-linked sketches prepared using a tablet: click, watch, listen and learn as often as you wish.

Click on the page numbers to access the following topics: this page - Functional groups and nomenclature; Page 2 – Structures, bonding and acidity; Page 3 – Isomerism; Page 4 – Organic reactions; Page 5 – Characterization

Naïve individuals might mistake the use of this resource as an alternative to regular attendance at lectures: do not make this mistake.

Adobe flashplayer (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer) might need updating on your computer for you to see/hear these sketches.

Functional groups and nomenclature (both self-taught)

These topics are both self-taught and will not be covered extensively in lectures. The OWL/Blackboard site has additional material regarding how to draw and name organic molecules (see Course Content/Study Resources/Additional Material), as does the text-book.

Drawing and identifying functional groups - basics

Drawing and identifying functional groups - single bonds

Drawing and identifying functional groups - double bonds

Drawing and identifying functional groups - triple bonds

Primary (1^o), secondary (2^o) and tertiary (3^o) alkyl halides and alcohols

Primary (1^o), secondary (2^o) and tertiary (3^o) amines

Functional groups in complex molecules

Nomenclature - see Bb and text-book
