Master Organic Chemistry LLCReviews of masterorganicchemistry.com

I took Organic Chemistry 2 over summer semester. While I didn't receive the grade I wanted, there were other factors at play that affected my classes during the summer semester, but I still passed and ultimately that was most important to me. I do believe that MOC greatly helped me understand the different mechanisms, reagents, and all things we covered over the summer. I truly believe it helped me understand these concepts at a deeper level and I would definitely recommend it to any chemistry student.

This website was one of the BEST resources I used for organic chemistry 1. My favorite part is how James doesn't neglect to review the basics and fundamentals. As a result, reactions are explained by logic and intuition. His explanations are concise and easy to understand. You get your bang for your buck!

This website was the GOAT for helping me through OChem 1 & 2. James, the website's creator, put an impressive amount of work and love into every chapter. Every lesson is easy to digest and understand, along with a sense of humor throughout it all, making the learning that much more engaging. Thanks again to James for his clear dedication to Organic Chemistry and spreading his knowledge to other people throughout the world. If you're having trouble understanding your OChem lectures or textbook, Master Organic Chemistry is a wonderful supplemental resource (S Tier) that I can't recommend more.

These organic chemistry resources are amazing! The PDF cheat sheets are probably my favorite feature. Furthermore, the developer, James, is incredibly involved and it's clear he cares about the quality of his resources. I'm going back to school after nearly a decade and I wish I had MOC when I was going through undergrad the first time. I will also say it directly contributed to my A+ in the class. I'd highly recommend MOC to anyone taking OCHEM!

I used Mastering Organic Chemistry a ton while taking ochem and it was genuinely one of the most helpful resources I found. The explanations were easy to follow and helped a lot when something from lecture was not clicking. My biggest recommendation would be adding more acid/base ranking problems. My professor absolutely abused us with those, especially questions involving good vs. bad resonance structures and how that affects pKa. More practice with those types of questions would make the site even better. Otherwise, I loved the site and would definitely recommend it to anyone taking organic chemistry.

This was the best learning aid I had that got me through orgo 1 and 2. The supplementary materials like the reagent guide and reaction maps explained things so that I was able to perform complicated reverse syntheses without hyperventilating. Even if you don’t join monthly, get the extra materials. They will make orgo almost pleasant. I recommend joining. The quizzes will not only prepare you for anything your prof throws at you (or the ACS), but the explanations of the answers give a great foundation for any future classes.

Great study aids and material. Affordable. Also loved the blog side explaining deeper topics of the material. Helped me tremendously in getting an A in my Organic Chem II class with a deeper dive and reaction diagrams, practice problems and the whole enchilada. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little bit more of a boost with their classroom material like myself.

You know how a good story just makes time pass by like nothing? Well, somehow James Ashenhurst makes Organic Chemistry feel like a great story. I learned so much and even got into a chemistry PhD program because of his help!
