Master the foundations of organic chemistry in one complete course. We’ll start with structure, bonding, and naming organic molecules, then dive into stereochemistry, substitution and elimination reactions, and the chemistry of functional groups. You’ll learn how reactions happen step by step, explore addition, oxidation, reduction, and condensation processes, and see how radicals, aromatic systems, and pericyclic reactions shape modern synthesis.
Along the way, we’ll uncover how organic chemistry connects to real-world applications — from fuels and polymers to medicines and materials. With dedicated modules on spectroscopy and lab techniques, you’ll gain both the theoretical understanding and practical tools to tackle advanced chemistry with confidence.
