hi frndz

is thr any easy mechanism to learn namic rxns like canizaro, aldol condensation,gattermann etc

annaka

the best way to remember named reactions is to draw parallels...

take for example aldol and cannizzaro,

#both of them are for carbonyl compounds and are base catalysed

#while aldol uses a dilute base, cannizarro uses a conc. base

#while aldol requires alpha hydrogen, cannizzarro needs absence of alpha hydrogen....

try this n the entre list of named reactions will get condensed to a couple of pages (mayb even 1 page if u get really good at connecting them)

drawing parlels helps a lot thnks for sugestion annaka

hiiiiiiii

i would advice you to make a small table with columns:

1)name of rxn

2)reactants

3)products

4)rxn conditions and catalyst

stick this table on your study table and revise this table whenever u forget anything about a rxn and before going for exams

all the information at one place will be helpful at exam time.

organic chemistry is not ratta type subject u must concentrate on concept,it always stabilises in ur mind.these all r very important reaction of organic.
For iit jee u think about mechanism.in my book these all r very nice u study it.
