If you feel like you need additional materials for practice, I have compiled the following list. Refresh the page regularly as I will add new content as I find it. If you have any suggestions for things to add, send them my way.

Books to Purchase

1. Sophomore Organic Chemistry By Inquisition ($35) - Website

• This is a supplemental workbook with mostly practice problems and solutions.

2. Organic Chemistry as a Second Language ($45) - Amazon

• This is a great book that some students use as a textbook replacement if they can't afford the official text. There is a lot of topics covered in good detail and every section has several practice problems.

3. Organic Chemistry I for Dummies ($17) - Amazon

• Overall a good workbook with a lot of explanation and practice problems.
• Free eBook version available through WVU Library

4. Schaum's Outline of Organic Chemistry ($16) - Amazon

• A generally good workbook with both organic I and II topics. Contains many practice problems. Only drawbacks is that the authors use a lot of partially condensed structions and covers some topics that I typically skip.

5. Pushing Electrons ($20) - Amazon

• This workbook is very good, but also very specific. It will be useful to anyone who is struggling with using curved arrows to show electron flow in reaction mechanisms. It does not, however, cover any other topics.

6. Workbook for Organic Chemistry - Amazon

• This is a great workbook with a ton of problems. It tend to be expensive and I should caution you that many of the problems are pretty challenging. If you are looking for very basic level practice, this isn't the best choice.

7. Organic Chemistry Demystified

• This is a good overview workbook. It has less practice probelms than some of the others listed here.
• Free eBook version available through WVU Library

General Websites

• Libre Text - Open Source Textbook
• Online organic practice problems from MSU
• UT Dallas OChem - Has a lot of excellent practice problems
• Open Course at MIT - contains notes and practice problems
• Organic Lecture videos from UC Irvine - Quarter 1 - Quarter 2 - Quarter 3
• Organic Lecture videos from UC Irvine v2 - Quarter 1 - Quarter 2 - Quarter 3

• OChem I at Texas - Dr. Iverson (a well known organic textbook author)
  • Especially Useful - Golden Rules of Organic Chem
