# Organic Chemistry Cheatsheet ## Functional Groups - Alkane: C-C single bond - Alkene: C=C double bond - Alkyne: C≡C triple bond - Alcohol: R-OH - Ether: R-O-R' - Aldehyde: R-C=O-H - Ketone: R-C=O-R' - Carboxylic Acid: R-C=O-OH - Ester: R-C=O-O-R' - Amine: R-NH2, R-NHR', R-NR'R'' - Amide: R-C=O-NH2, R-C=O-NHR', R-C=O-NR'R'' ## Reactions - Addition reaction: adds atoms or groups to a molecule - Elimination reaction: removes atoms or groups from a molecule - Substitution reaction: replaces an atom or group in a molecule with another atom or group - Condensation reaction: forms a covalent bond between two molecules, with the loss of a small molecule (often water) - Hydrolysis reaction: breaks a covalent bond between two molecules by adding water ## Nomenclature - IUPAC nomenclature: a system of naming organic compounds based on their structure and functional groups - Common names: non-systematic names used for some simple organic compounds, such as methane and ethanol ## Resources - [Organic Chemistry Portal](https://www.organic-chemistry.org/) - [Master Organic Chemistry](https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/) - [Khan Academy: Organic Chemistry](https://www.khanacademy.org/science/organic-chemistry) - [Organic Chemistry Tutorial Videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw36fEiPBJJgLWDoQOm2gFkSggUJ9vX8W)
