How to Memorise Reagents and Conditions in Organic Chemistry?

Memorising organic chemistry reactions is arguably the most important and fundamental aspect of mastering organic chemistry.

It is also the toughest as there are so many reagents and conditions to remember, and many of them are very specific and technical.

Students are often intimidated by the sheer volume of work and delay memorising the reagents and conditions, usually resulting in them getting a weak grasp of organic chemistry.

But memorising reagents and conditions for organic chemistry is akin to memorising the multiplication table for mathematics – you just can’t do any organic chemistry questions without knowing the reactions.
