Organic Chemistry

App for learning the reaction mechanism in organic chemistry by curved arrows.

Organic Chemistry Basic Reaction Mechanism is a useful App for learning the fundamentals of reaction mechanism in organic chemistry by using curved arrows. Mastering basic reaction mechanisms is an important survival skill for students learning organic chemistry. This App contains 141 videos of materials that explain reaction mechanisms in detail using “curved arrows," which represent the flow of electrons, and is useful for acquiring basic knowledge of organic chemistry. Once downloaded, the app can be used in places without a WiFi environment, making it perfect for studying in your small pockets of time!

・You can study while listening to your favorite music, radio, etc.!

・This App allows you to learn organic chemistry by switching between English and Japanese.

・35 more videos, focusing on the acid and base content important for discussion of reaction mechanisms in the latest version!
