This Organic Chemistry demystified course with solved problems was undertaken to give you a clear view of organic chemistry through detailed examples and provides numerous problems with their solution. You can use this course as a review for taking exams or as a vehicle for self-instruction. My primary goal is to help you focus on understanding basics and concepts of organic chemistry rather than memorizing.
It is my hope that this course, through its careful explanations of concepts and its use of numerous practical examples, helps you develop the necessary skills to bridge the gap between knowledge and the confidence to do well in your exams (in case you are a student) or in your professional career.
