Visual Access: In this approach, I present the materials in a condensed format so as to make them visually accessible. This book is not meant to replace the regular Organic Chemistry Text books but to supplement them. The student will benefit greatly if they use this book for quick review after a lecture or even when preparing for an exam or just trying to remember the key reactions in organic chemistry.Contents: This book will cover the most common topics in Organic Chemistry 1 which are:*Introduction to Organic Chemistry and review of General Chemistry: Structure and bonding, hybridization, VSEPR, Molecular Orbital Theory, Electron Configuration.*Electronegativity, Polarity, Formal Charges, Intramolecular reactions.*Alkanes: Reactions, conformations, chair and boat conformations, naming, cycloalkanes, functional groups introduction.*Organic Reactions: Kinds of organic reactions, steps of reaction mechanisms, polar reaction mechanism, radical reaction mechanism, reaction energy diagrams.*Alkenes: Summarized on one-page some of the most common alkene reactions.*Alkynes: Summarized on one-page some of the most common alkyne reactions including preparation, naming, and, reactions.*Stereochemistry: Summarized on one-page some of the most common concepts on stereochemistry, enantiomers, R/S configurations, D/L configurations, Optical rotation.*Alkyl Halides: Summarized on one-page some of the most common concepts and reactions of alkyl halides including C-halogen bond lengths and stability, preparations, organometallic reagents and reactions (Grignard, Mixed Gilman, organolithium), oxidation-reduction.*Substitution (SN1 and SN2) and Elimination (E1 and E2) mechanisms.
