For countless students in French-speaking universities (licences de chimie, PASS, LAS, PCEM, or engineering prep schools), organic chemistry is a formidable gatekeeper. Between stereochemistry, nucleophilic additions, and reaction mechanisms, the path to mastering chimie organique is paved with practice.
| Topic | Typical Exercises | | :--- | :--- | | | 50+ naming alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, carbonyls | | Stereochemistry | R/S configuration, diastereomers, Fischer projections | | Electrophilic Addition | Markovnikov vs Anti-Markovnikov, carbocation stability | | Nucleophilic Substitution | SN1 vs SN2 mechanisms (kinetics, stereochemistry) | | Elimination | E1 vs E2, Zaitsev's rule | | Aromatic Chemistry | Electrophilic aromatic substitution (ortho/meta/para directors) | | Carbonyl Chemistry | Aldol, Claisen, Wittig reactions | or engineering prep schools)
