Details

Topics covered in college organic chemistry course. Basic understanding of basic high school or college chemistry assumed. Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of carbon-based compounds, hydrocarbons, and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur.

Resources: OpenCourseware from Khan Academy, MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford along with many of the World's finest University's.
