This reminds me of my favorite video on YouTube . You are a pack of wildebeest, just chilling out by the water, trying to score a good grade in organic chemistry. But you are being hunted by pride of hungry lions (your professors) who would like nothing better to make a quick snack of the weakest […]

Because the sciences have become so popular in recent years, many of the larger universities have several professors teaching organic chemistry, which means in financial terms, this is a buyer’s market. You have choices on whose class you take and whose class you avoid. Of course the best way to learn who is good, who

Hi, and welcome to AceOrganicChem Elite.  Elite is the premiere organic chemistry learning system on the web today.  With thousands of hours of content and help, you will never run out of ways to learn. Get a quick video tour, if you would like to see it in action.   Or to learn more about

In this video, we look at some housekeeping on EASE and show you some study tricks. Now, try some practice problems.

In this video we examine six practice problems (easy, medium and hard x2) to see how to figure each one out using the EASE method. Now, you can move on to EASE Method: 4th quarter

In this video, we examine some mechanisms that you have to know to get through this course, starting with electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) and E2. Now, you can move on to EASE Method: 3rd quarter.

In this video, we examine some mechanisms that you have to know to get through this course, starting with SN1, E1, SN2 and E2. Now, you can move on to EASE Method: 2nd quarter part 2

In this video, we show you the last step of the EASE method.  “E” is for electron flow.  One you have identify all of the players, you need to move your electrons from electrophile to nucleophile.     Now go on to EASE Method: 2nd quarter part 1

In this video, we show you the third step of the EASE method.  “S” is for sterics.  You need to see if there are any bulky groups around and figure out whether or not they are going to hinder your reaction.       Now go on to 1st Quarter Part 4: “E” is for electron

In this video, we show you the second step of the EASE method.  “A” is for acid/base.  You need to determine if you have a strong acid/base combo and move them now is they are present.     Now go on to 1st Quarter Part 3: “S” is for sterics
