I recently became interested in Organic Chemistry. I want to learn it the right way on my own. Any advice? I just ordered "Organic Chemistry as a second language"

'book learning' ok, practice not so much.

You will never synthesize your own LSD.

It could be accomplished by any "competent" (which is not exactly a compliment w/in the field) grad student in at least two dozen departments in the US alone.

idk shit about OP but if he can make it to grad school and keep his mouth shut he could do it.

Thanks for the link and the books. I probably will not be going to grad school for this.

Why do you think I won't get good at practicing organic chem?

>> No.6013776

Are there any good books to teach how to do Organic Chemistry in practice?

Being able to execute a reaction. Being able to mechanically figure out how to turn reagents into a final product is useless if you don't know how to do it in the real world.
