Anyone have a good online Organic Chemistry help website?
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009I really struggled with organic chemistry last semester but i have to have it to get into grad school. i got a big ol’ F in it when all i did was TRY MY HARDEST. i got an A in regular chemistry so i’m not stupid. does anyone have or know of a good online tutoring website? i’ve found some already but they didn’t help. I also had a actual tutor but he didnt help either. are there any secrets to doing well in this class i should know about?

Can you help me understand Substitution and Beta-Elimination Reactions in Organic Chemistry?
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Why does Beta elimination always compete with nucleophilic substitution? I dont understand. And how do I know which will happen, or more specifically, what would I write on a test? Im really confused on this topic and I can not figure it out. Please, if you can, clarify this for me. Thanks so much!

Monday, February 9th, 2009Is biochemistry similar to organic chemistry, or is it similar to biology?
Sunday, February 8th, 2009… or both? What’s your opinion/experience? I’m not trying to become a biochemist. I’m just taking biochem I (not planning on taking the second half).
I asked this a little while back; if you answered then, you don’t have to answer again.
I’m a senior biology major in college.
I’m just trying to know what to expect when I get to this (I’m taking it in a 6-wk summer term).
