How to easily memorise the conversion reactions in oraganic chemistry? I am finding it rather difficult to keep all the reactions in mind, especially the ones from the chapter Aldehydes, Ketones and carboxylic acids.

Organic Chemistry:

For the conversion reactions in organic chemistry.

1) Try to understand the mechanism of the reactions.

2) There are specific mechanisms for the reactions and they are somehow related too.

3) For example, if one has understood the types of nucleophilic substitution reactions SN1 and SN2 then any type of substitution with any reactant can be handled.

4) To get a good hold on the conversations, you must remember the main chemical reactions  and the synthesis of compounds like carbonyls, acids, amines etc.

5) Do remember simple steps of preparations of compounds, and yes basic name reactions like aldol reaction help a lot.

6) Practice the equations by forming the product and then again forming the reactants from products, one must learn both the conditions so that at any step of conversion you are able to attempt it easily.

7) Understand the role of each reactant, catalyst, conditions in the organic reactions or organic mechanisms.
 
8) Practice each frequently or say one mechanism per day. Write it down first by looking then by memorizing.
 
9)These small steps will give you lot of confidence.
 
Best luck.
