Organic Chemistry 1 - (Full Course)

Jason Dinsmore organizes first-semester organic chemistry around structures, reaction mechanisms and functional groups. Substitution, elimination and the reactions of alkenes, alkynes and oxygen-containing compounds feature alongside practice questions. It suits learners studying organic chemistry who want a second explanation and a deliberate process for approaching unfamiliar reaction problems.

What you will learn

• Draw and interpret organic structures.
• Compare substitution and elimination mechanisms.
• Practice functional-group reactions and synthesis reasoning.

Who this suits

Learners starting or reviewing Organic Chemistry 1; no formal prerequisite is listed, but basic chemistry vocabulary will help.

Before you enroll

Use the lessons for conceptual study and problem solving. Chemical demonstrations do not make an activity suitable for an unsupervised home experiment. Check the assumed mathematics and chemistry background, show units in calculations and compare your reasoning with worked solutions rather than memorizing an answer.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Solve a substitution-or-elimination example without looking at the answer. Annotate the substrate, reagent and proposed electron movement, then explain why an alternative pathway is less plausible.
