Organic Reaction Mechanism Animations

Understanding the mechanics of basic reactions is essential in organic chemistry for planning efficient molecular synthesis. We have made animations that primarily target first-year students and show the mechanisms of these reactions in order to help with this knowledge. Our animations not only assist students in comprehending the proper mechanisms but also instruct them on how to properly write mechanisms, a crucial ability for effectively describing and comprehending the procedures involved in chemical reactions. These animations offer students a useful tool to develop their comprehension of the workings of fundamental organic reactions and advance their capacity to create syntheses.

The animations on this webpage cover a wide range of topics in organic chemistry, including:

• Aldehydes and ketones
• Alcohols and ethers
• Alkenes
• Basic organic reactions
• Carboxylic acid derivatives
• Condensation reactions
• Electrophilic aromatic substitution
• Nitrogen-containing compounds

These topics represent important areas of study in organic chemistry and provide a broad overview of the diverse range of reactions and compounds that are encountered in this field. The animations offer a visual representation of the mechanisms of these reactions, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying processes involved and to better understand how these reactions can be used to synthesize a variety of different compounds.
