Organic Chemistry

[Specialist-Jim]

O hai guys. I am doing intro chem at uni. We had 6 weeks of organic chem, with a lecturer who was not an organic chemist. He had no idea what he was talking about, and made mistakes every lecture (which he did not fix). So if anyone is good with organic chemistry, please let me know.

Cos passing the exam is good, mmk.

So you need to learn your organic bonds and something I can't remember.

My brother just did this but I couldn't help him too much.

I can probably help with some stuff.

Been a few years since i've done any chemistry other than biochem though.

I'm very good with organic chem (modesty is also another one of my gifts), I can help with almost anything you need. :)

I think I still have my old chem stuff :)
May be able to help

[Bullet_Cushion]

ive got a first year text and a rough idea...if all these other options fall though :P

[Vtech]

I can ask my brother about some to help him revise it too. My brother usually asks me but I don't remember so we discuss.

what sort of things do u need help with?

currently im doing a lot of organic chem work at work. mainly trying to find ways to make chelating complex molecules organic soluble by chemically trying to force a long organic chain onto them, making the more non-polar. if there is anything berzerker can do to halp just ask when he is around, ive learned a lot more in practice than through theory so i should be able to explain it a bit more simply.

I know a little bit of basic stuff, might come in handy if you need some help.

Cheers guys, basically the stuff I am trying to figure out, is how different organic molecules (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, carboxylic acids, amines, amides, nitriles, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers (I think they are all the ones I need to know)), react with each other, or how to get them to react to form other things. ie hydration, hydrogenation, addition reactions, substitution reactions, grignard etc.

If anyone has any tips on how to remember all that crap, or any tricks etc that would be useful, that would be suweet!

Cheers lads

Jimmy boy!

Graphics calculator, usb to plug cable and that dinky little computer program that lets you type stuff.

QFFT.

Physics + Chem = sorted.

if you search the forums, Melt has a request for Chemistry notes, I think I uploaded some...
