A short description of some of the more important functional groups in organic chemistry, with two nice diagrams to show you some of them.

Aromatic Compounds and Their Reactions Organic Chemistry Cheat Sheet Aromatic compound Styrene Benzene Xylene Naphthalene Toluene Biphenyl Organic compound Azulene Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution. The order of substitution on aromatic compounds is governed by the

Organic Chemistry Reactivity: Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Types of Reactions Electrophiles and Nucleophiles In in this post I want to look at the difference between the nucleophiles and electrophiles, what those are, how to identify them in a reaction, and some common examples you’re going to see in your organic chemistry course. So, first off, let’s talk about what the nucleophiles and electrophiles are. What is a Nucleophile A nucleophile is a “nucleus loving” species if we look at the word itself and translate its Greek roots. The nucleophiles are typically negatively charged or have at least one electron pair they can […]
