Students fail Organic Chemistry because they try to treat it as a memorization subject like History. With over 200 possible reaction combinations, memorizing without mechanism rules causes memory interference.
The Mechanism Framework
Nearly every organic reaction in Class 12 is an interaction between an electron-rich species (nucleophile) and an electron-poor species (electrophile). Whether it is the addition of Grignard reagent to a carbonyl carbon or Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene, identify the nucleophile and electrophile first.
