Organic course help
So I'm set to take basic organic chemistry in the upcoming academic year and I need your help with some tips.
PSA I know it's only basic organic and you guys have been through much worse but I thought I'd ask people who know this minefield well.
I'm genuinely terrified of this course because anything to do with chemistry I suck at. (For those wondering, this course is a requirement for my degree). So yeah, any tips on how I cannot get flayed by this course are much appreciated. Any yt channels, websites, books...
I'll copy the course learning outcomes if it helps to give you an idea about the advice I need.
Course Learning Outcomes:
1 Assign names/types/Newmann projections of organic compounds and compare their solubility/boiling points and acidity
2 Assign the names/reactions of benzene, orientation ortho/para , metha.
3 Outline syntheses of alkanes, alkenes (Zaitsev rule), alkynes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and amines
4 Assign the reactions of alkenes, alkynes (Markov/Antimarkov) : Catalytic hydrogenation, addition of halogen and hypohalite, addition of hydrogen halide, addition of water, oxymercuration, hydroxylation, epoxidation, hydroboration, ozonolysis, acetylide ions.
5 Assign chiral centers and Absolute configuration r/S (Fisher, perspective) and Define and recognize stereoisomers, resolution and racemic mixture.
6 Define and use correctly the terms SN2,SN1,E2 and E1with mechanism assigned.
7 Assign reactions of alcohols/ethers : (with HX, SOCL2, PCl5, dehydration, Williamson ether synthesis, oxidation, (under acidic-basic media for ethers).
8 Write the reactions of aldehyde/ketones/carboxylic acids/amines and derivatives
