There are four elements to the StudyOrgo.com study package:

1. How to use Our Program - Start Here
2. Summary Guides
3. Study Mode Flashcards
4. Quiz Mode Flashcard
5. Study Charts
6. Reaction Roadmap

We recommend that prior to beginning first semester organic chemistry or at the start of the course, students begin the Summary Guide and Exercise sets. Continue this part as the course proceeds. Just prior to learning about organic chemistry reactions begin reviewing Part Ten of the Summary Guide. This will help transition into learning reactions with our flashcards. When learning about organic chemistry reactions, students can learn the reactions using Study Mode Flashcards, study charts and reaction roadmap. Students can test their knowledge by quizzing themselves using our Quiz Mode Flashcards. When learning about certain laboratory methods, students can use the dedicated study chart on Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

The Summary Guide and Exercise Sets are meant to help students learn and understand the beginning topics taught in first semester organic chemistry courses. They are not reactions, but rather they are concepts typically taught prior to studying reactions.

Part One: Intro to Orgo
Part Two: Drawing in Orgo
Part Three: Molecular Orbitals, Hybridization and Geometry
Part Four: Lewis Structures, Formal Charge and Resonance Structures
Part Five: Basic Naming in Orgo- Naming Alkanes
Part Six: Functional Groups
Part Seven: Acid-Base Chemistry
Part Eight: Isomers
Part Nine: Chirality and Enantiomers
Part Ten: Introduction to the Study of Orgo Reactions

Topics Two through Nine each have their own dedicated Exercise Set. Each Exercise Set is a flashcard-style quiz to test your knowledge on a particular subject.

The best way to use this module is to use it alongside classroom instruction. Try to look ahead at your course syllabus and see what topics are coming up. Read the corresponding topics in the Summary Guide prior to lecture then review again after lecture. When ready, you may test your knowledge on a particular subject by utilizing the corresponding Exercise Set. Each Exercise Set is a flashcard-style quiz to test your knowledge on a particular subject. Each Exercise Set has specific instructions listed at the top of the page.

Upon signing in to StudyOrgo.com you may arrive at the Summary Guide and Exercise Sets homepage by clicking on the “Browse All Summary Sheets” link on your “MyAccount” homepage which is under “Summary Guide and Exercise Sets,” or by clicking on the “Summary Guide” link listed underneath “Additional Materials” in the navigation toolbar at the top of every page when logged in.

The heart of the StudyOrgo.com study package are the Study Mode Flashcard study pages. The program presents over one hundred reactions and allows you to master them using our special flashcard method.

On each Study Mode Flashcard screen there are three images which represent the reaction to be mastered on that page. Beneath the reaction images is a detailed reaction description which reveals useful hints, tips and key points.

We recommend that you learn everything presented on each flashcard page. Depending on where you are in your Orgo studies you can choose which reaction categories you will study. For example, if you are taking an exam on Alkynes and Alcohols, we recommend that you study every reaction in each of those categories. When ready you can create a quiz in Quiz Mode to test your knowledge on the subject. (Quiz Mode is discussed in a separate FAQ section).

Or should you being taking a Final Exam or a Standardized exam such as the MCAT or DAT, you may choose to browse and learn all the reactions in the program in our prescribed order. This can be done by clicking on “Review All Reaction Flashcards” under the heading “Study The Reaction Flashcards” on your “MyAccount” homepage.

Alternatively, should you have a list of individual reactions you want to study, you can learn them by selecting the individual reaction from our list on the Study Mode homepage. To browse this list, click on the “Study Mode” link from the navigation toolbar found at the top of every page when logged in. You may also arrive at this list by clicking on “Browse All Reactions By Name” found underneath the heading “Study The Reaction Flashcards” on your “MyAccount” homepage.

We present over one hundred reactions. Each screen is dedicated to one reaction. Here are the studying aids built into each flashcard page:

The Reaction
At the center of the screen lie three windows that are laid out horizontally one after the other. These three images comprise the reaction taught on that particular page.

The Reaction Category
The Reaction Category is found at the top left of the page. Underneath that is the reaction number within that category if reviewing by single reaction or category. If studying began by clicking on the “Review All Reaction Flashcards” link, the reaction number is the number within the overall program.

Progress Bar
The Progress Bar is found at the top right of the page. At the beginning of a category or the overall program, the bar is blue. As you work through a category or the overall program, the bar progressively turns green to pictorially give you a sense of how far along you are.

Reaction Name
On the upper right hand side, underneath the progress bar, you will find the Reaction Name. This item is also covered and can be revealed to facilitate studying. When going through the program, you will find that certain reaction names repeat itself. This is because different examples of a particular reaction are presented to demonstrate the differences between different reactants and reagents used.

Mark as mastered

• Once you have mastered a particular reaction, you may mark it as “mastered” by checking the box found underneath the reaction.
• Please note that the marked as mastered function is coordinated between both the Study Mode and Quiz Mode. This means that if you marked a particular reaction as mastered in Study Mode, it will also be marked as mastered in Quiz Mode and vice versa.

Reveal / Cover All Cards
By default, all windows on the page are revealed, however you may click the “Reveal / Cover All” button on the top of any reaction flashcard page to cover all of the windows on the page. Click again and all the windows will be revealed. This allows you to toggle between all windows being revealed or covered. However, you may decide to reveal or cover any particular window by clicking on any one window. It will then “flip over” and reveal or hide the corresponding information.

Study Flashcards Covered
You can either have each page load all the windows revealed, which is the default setting, or you may study the flashcards covered by clicking on the box next to “Study Flashcards Covered” found above any Study Mode Reaction Flashcard. This will then change the default to having all windows covered as you progress through that session. However, once you choose a new category, exit that area to use a different tool, or log out the default will be restored to having all windows revealed.

Reaction Description
Pertinent reaction information is covered in a window beneath the reaction labeled Reaction Description. To reveal useful hints, tips and key points simply click on the window.

Study Mode is set up to study the reaction flashcards in two different ways: reading, learning and studying the information laid out on the page, or by covering and revealing items on the page according to your preference. By default, all windows on the page are revealed, however you may click the “Reveal / Cover All” button on the top of any reaction flashcard page to cover all of the windows on the page. Click again and all the windows will be revealed. This allows you to toggle between all windows being revealed or covered. However, you may decide to reveal or cover any particular window by clicking on any one window. It will then “flip over” and reveal or hide the corresponding information.

You can either have each page load all the windows revealed, which is the default setting, or you may study the flashcards covered by clicking on the box next to “Study Flashcards Covered” found above any Study Mode Reaction Flashcard. This will then change the default to having all windows covered as you progress through that session. However, once you choose a new category, exit that area to use a different tool, or log out the default will be restored to having all windows revealed.

This allows you to customize your learning. This type of customization can be personalized to your likings in Study Mode, or it can be individualized by creating custom quizzes in Quiz Mode. (Quiz Mode is discussed in a separate FAQ section).

In Study Mode, the reaction is presented over three windows. At baseline, all three windows are revealed. You decide which elements of the reaction you would like to cover and which to remain revealed. You can mix and match the variety of permutations to customize to your learning.

We typically recommend that students learn each reaction first the way it appears with all windows revealed. Then you may begin to learn the reaction in a variety of other ways. You can move on to covering all windows, revealing the first and middle windows and try to determine the final window. This is the most basic form that each reaction must be mastered. However after learning each reaction that way you can test yourself further. Start to reveal and cover different windows.

Here is a sample order in which to learn each reaction:

• Reveal A, Reveal B, Learn product
• Reveal A, Learn B, Reveal product
• Learn A, Reveal B, Reveal Product

Next, you can even try the following:

• Reveal A, leave B and Product covered and think of all the possible things you can do with it.
• Reveal Product, leave A and B covered and think of all the possible ways you can make that given product
• You can even only reveal the reaction name and try to determine all three elements to the reaction
• And much more- the possibilities are almost endless for how to use the reaction flashcard pages.

• The flashcard home page lists all the reaction categories and corresponding reactions covered in our program to facilitate browsing of the various categories and reactions.
• You may click on any category to learn the reaction flashcards in that category in a recommended order. Or you may click on any single reaction to review that reaction alone.
• You may even click on the “Study Mode” link at the top of any page when logged in to go through the entire program of reactions in our recommended order.
• Additionally, you may decide which reactions you want to view on that page at any particular time. You have the options to Show Mastered Reactions, Show Not Mastered Reactions, or Show All Reactions. Click on any of these to temporarily change the listing on the Flashcard homepage.

The StudyOrgo.com team uses a number of phrases in the reaction description information box to help guide your learning. Certain phrases are used to clue you in to different tips, hints and tricks that will identify high yield information that will help you soar above other organic chemistry students.

Overall Big Picture: This descriptor at the top of each reaction description box breaks down that flashcard's reaction into one simple basic sketch. It tells you what functional group categories are added together to produce a given product. This is presented in the A + B → C form.

Key Tip: This piece of information is meant to clue you in to important information presented in an easy to understand format.

Definition: There are many terms used in organic chemistry. Definitions to key terms are provided.

Beware! At times professors or examinations will try to trick you by presenting information that can be easily mistaken for other information or by slipping in a difference that entirely changes your answer. We will point out these circumstances so that you will look out for them on exam day.

Key Comparison: This is used to highlight two similar terms or concepts and present them together so that the similarities and differences between them can be easily understood.

Mechanism Hint: Each reaction undergoes a number of important intermediates to arrive at the final product. At times important aspects of the reaction's mechanism are highlighted by being prefaced by this term.

Note: A technical aspect or important point of the reaction will be described by being prefaced by this term.

At times the various windows of the reaction will be referred to in the reaction description as follows:

First window: The information revealed under the first of the three boxes of the reaction itself. This is the box all the way to the left.

Middle window: The information revealed under the second of the three boxes of the reaction itself. This is the box at the center of the other two boxes.

Last window: The information revealed under the third of the three boxes of the reaction itself. This is the box all the way to the right.

Quiz mode allows for the opportunity to create customized quizzes to test your knowledge. Taking practice quizzes is one of the best ways to prepare for organic chemistry exams.

Organic chemistry reactions are presented in the following basic framework:

A+B→C

Or

Reactant A + Reactant B → Product

In order to truly learn organic chemistry you must know not just how to determine the product from the two reactants (determine C if given A and B), you must know how to determine A if given B and C and to determine B if given A and C.

This leads to the following blanks:

A+B→?

?+B→C

A+?→C

Traditional flashcards in organic chemistry only present A + B → ?

Most students will only try to memorize what product you will get when adding two items together. While this is certainly important, that’s only 1/3 of the subject material! That means that you are only 1/3 prepared for your examination. Professors are aware that students typically fall into this trap and will try to trick students on exam day by eliciting knowledge they don’t have because they only learned each reaction in this simplified format.

With StudyOrgo.com’s Quiz Mode you can now master each entire reaction no matter what information is supplied to you. This is because you can choose what part of the reaction you would like to be tested on. You can even have this change randomly throughout the quiz.

Answer all of the questions on the Quiz Mode homepage to create a custom quiz:

Which reaction categories would you like to include on this quiz?

• This option allows you to select which categories of reactions you would like to be tested on in this particular quiz. Click on the category you would like on the left hand column. Each category must be selected separately and “added” to the right hand column individually. Click on the green “Add” button and the category will be moved to the right hand column indicating that it has been selected. To remove a category simply select the category in the right hand column and click on the red “Remove” button and the category will be moved to the left hand column indicating that it will not be included in this quiz.
• Should you want the reactions to appear in a particular order in your quiz, you must arrange the categories in order you like and be sure to choose “Selected Category Order” in the next question. If this is the case, you must add your desired categories in a distinct order when moving them to the right hand column. In other words, the order in which you add the reaction categories to the right hand column is the order they will appear in the quiz should you choose “Selected Category Order” in the next question.

In what order would you like the categories to appear in the quiz?

• Should you want the reactions to appear in a particular order in your quiz, you must arrange the categories in the order you would like and choose “Selected Category Order.”
• Should you want the reactions to appear in a Random order as generated by the computer, choose “Random.”

How many questions would you like? (Max: #)

• You may type the number of questions you want the quiz to have or you may use the sliding bar beneath the question to choose the number of questions you would like.
• The maximum number of questions available will be displayed next to the question as “Max: #” For example, should the maximum be 36, it would be displayed as “Max: 36.” You would then need to select a number from 1 to 36 for the number of questions you want in the quiz by typing that number in the box provided or using the sliding bar.
• As you slide the bar the indicated number of questions will appear in the text box.

Which part of the reaction would you like to be tested on?

• This feature is the hallmark of the StudyOrgo.com Quiz Mode. The feature allows you to be tested on any of the three parts of the reaction: Reactant A, Reactant B, or Product.
• In order to select a part to be tested on, simply click on one window in the sample reaction. The window will then “flip-over” indicating that part will be tested.
• The selected window will then be covered in every question in the quiz. The other two windows not selected will be revealed. Effectively, the one selected to be covered is the part that must be determined in each question.
• Alternatively, you may click on the box next to the word “Random” which appears above the sample reaction in order to have the part you will be tested on randomly change throughout the quiz. Effectively, the covered window will then randomly change from question to question as you proceed through the quiz.

The StudyOrgo.com Study Charts are designed to help students learn topics that are particularly challenging and dense with information. StudyOrgo.com presents two Study Charts:

1. SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Comparison Chart
2. Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

On each Study Chart screen there are a number of "covered windows." When covered, a window will have the "StudyOrgo.com" logo on it. In order to reveal a window, simply click on the "StudyOrgo.com" logo, and the window will "flip-over" to reveal the content underneath.

These classic four organic chemistry reactions are dense with information to learn. Moreover, the key to mastering these reactions is to understand the similarities and differences between them. This comparison chart compares them side-by-side using our same flashcard format in table form.

Begin by reviewing the flashcard reaction pages in the Nucleophilic substitution and elimination category. After doing so begin using the SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Comparison Chart to learn the details of each reaction and how they relate to one another.
First, learn the information presented in the table by revealing the information in each column alone, then each row alone. When ready, you may to test your knowledge by beginning at the top of the table and try to determine the covered information for each reaction. Or you may decide to reveal each corresponding row for one reaction column at a time. The decision is yours on how to use this tool, as there are many different permutations at revealing and covering different information.

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy Chart Laboratory skills are important to succeeding in Organic Chemistry Lab courses. There are a lot of spectroscopy values that must be committed to memory to work through IR and NMR problems. This study chart provides values to typical functional groups studied in IR and NMR using our same flashcard style format in table form.

• First, learn the information presented in the table by revealing the information in each column alone, then each row alone. When ready, you may test your knowledge by revealing one to three of the four total windows in a given row. Then, try to determine the windows left covered in that row.
• At first you may decide to reveal three out of the four windows then determine the fourth. Next you may decide to reveal two out of the four windows then determine the other two. Finally you may decide to reveal one out of the four windows then determine the other three. You decide which of the four windows to reveal and how many in any given row. The decision is yours on how to use this tool, as there are many different permutations at revealing and covering different information.

Upon signing in to StudyOrgo.com you may arrive at the Study Charts homepage by clicking on the "Study Charts" link on your "MyAccount" homepage, which is under "Get Started With StudyOrgo.com," or by clicking on the "Study Charts" link listed in the navigation toolbar at the top of every page.

The Roadmap presents the interrelationships between the various functional groups and reactions. The reactions represent the "paths" to various "destinations" which are the functional group categories.

When studying the various reaction flashcards, reference the Reaction Roadmap to try to understand how all the reactions relate to one another. Take note that the arrows that originate from a particular reaction category match the color of that category. To facilitate studying, you may click on any reaction category and you are brought to the corresponding flashcard pages dedicated to that category.

Large multi-step synthesis reaction questions are commonly asked in organic chemistry exams. You are asked to fabricate one compound from a very different starting compound. This requires 5, 10 or even more intermediate reactions to complete this task. By learning each reaction backwards and forwards with the flashcard pages then conceptualizing these reactions using the Reaction Roadmap you will be on your way to mastering theses challenging exam puzzles.

Upon signing in to StudyOrgo.com you may arrive at the Reaction Roadmap homepage by clicking on the "Reaction Roadmap" link on your "MyAccount" homepage, which is under "Get Started With StudyOrgo.com" or by clicking on the "Reaction Roadmap" link listed in the navigation toolbar at the top of every page.
