List of Chemistry Notes

Filter By:   All | Inorganic | Organic | Physical | 1st Year | 2nd Year | 3rd Year
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Basic notes on conformation and reactivity.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers aromatic reaction types, then moves onto the Synthesis and Reaction Types of each class of Heterocyclic Compound. Mostly from the two primers on these topics.
Organic - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Advanced Level Only. I didn't end up doing this topic, so they're actually just the lecture notes reproduced without editting, but may be useful to some!
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers generation through reaction types and mechanism onto synthetic uses. I did this topic at Advanced level so should be fairly comprehensive. Mixture of Primer and Lecture Notes.
Organic - 1st Year Undergraduate
Very introductory - has acids and bases, nucleophilic substitution, elimination and addition reactions. Also the ester hydrolysis mechanisms and a few named reactions at the end. Generally brief.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Basics of interpreting UV, IR, Mass Spec and NMR for Organic compounds. Also has a useful shapes and shifts diagram at the end.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Covers Organonitrogen, Organoboron, organosilicon, organophosphorus and organosulphur reactions and reagents. Mostly from the primers (where appropriate) but added to from core texts too.
Organic - 1st Year Undergraduate
Divided into saturated, unsaturated and aromatic metallated compounds. Fairly simple, but useful for going over pre-Finals.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Divided into Oxidation then Reduction. Covers the lecture notes, with more basic useful conversions thrown in (which are actually more helpful!)
Organic - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Advanced Level Only - not too many mechanisms either as they're easy but I've covered most of the protection and conversion options and structure determination. Lots from the Primer, but filled in the bits it missed.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Very thorough notes on the different types of Pericyclic Reactions. Probably covers advanced as a large part of them is made up of lecture notes. I didn't use them much though - too complicated!
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
A series of mini-essays on the concepts behind Physical Organic Chemistry. Rarely comes up, except of course the year I sat Finals ...
Organic - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Covers Protecting Groups (On and Off methods, although omitted mechanisms as they're very easy, and then moves onto some useful sugar transformations (although this doesn't often come up on Finals any more)
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Carbenes, Nitrenes and Arynes covered, particularly generation and reactions. Fairly basic level though.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Some basic notes at the start, then covers examples and mechanisms later on.
Organic - 2nd Year Undergraduate
Some very basic conventions and symmetry rules, before moving onto Stereoelectronics Notes (most of which come from the Primer)
Organic - 3rd Year Undergraduate
Quite a bit of Advanced level content, although covers the basics early on.
