Section outline

  • Organic reactions can be divided into several groups. In generally speaking, the below classification is fair enough to pharmacy students for the first term organic chemistry class. We are aware that there is no limit to the number of possible organic reactions and mechanisms. However, certain general patterns are observed that can be used to describe many common or useful reactions. Each reaction has a stepwise reaction mechanism that explains how it happens, although this detailed description of steps is not always clear from a list of reactants alone. 

    This is just for a introductory explanations for the beginning level of organic reactions. Next term a more detailed organic reaction will be given more attention to the students awareness.
