How small? About 700 students. We have excellent chemistry instructors but Organic Chem is a challenge to even the best students. I like this website because before I read it I had been telling the students they would need to memorize about 625 type reactions as I did at the end of my junior year when I was preparing for the NSTA-Acs exam. Your site is very helpful. Thank you.

Well, it was a great paper. Thanks for making me aware of it!

I shoulda known you’d have read that paper. Yeesh.

This one? :-) https://masterorganicchemistry.com/2010/08/25/the-six-pillars-of-organic-chemistry/

Though I leave out acid/base reactions and use the line “almost all reactions in this course are either acid/base reactions or one of the following three…” as they learn acid/base reactions in freshman chemistry.

You should also check out this paper too: J. Chem. Educ., 2008, 85 (1), p 83. Great, readable paper I give out to my students just at the end of the term to facilitate their studying. If you give it out at the beginning, they won’t understand it and won’t read it.

Missing counterions drove/drive me nuts too. I am glad I’m not the only person who feels this way. How are you supposed to understand what’s going on if you’re not told half the story? I am going to write an angry rant about this.
Glad the new design works for you… it was time!

I actually like the way you drew the first reaction, James, because the reaction is balanced. As a student, missing counterions in multi-step mechanisms used to drive me crazy (and still do)…

Dig the new site design!
