Welcome to Real Organic Chemistry
This site hosts a collection of ~300 real organic chemistry reactions taken from the scientific literature, with the intent of providing real-life practice problems for introductory organic chemistry students. The examples are curated to cover both "easy" to "hard", covering both concept-learning and exam-level reaction examples.
Use the links above to find the practice problems, sorted by type of reaction.
This database was developed by Prof. Dennis D. Cao, Macalester College, with funding provided by Research Corporation for Science Advancement
