Wills Organic Chemistry 2 Notes

This book is part 2 of a two-part series covering undergraduate-level organic chemistry. If you’re enrolled in an organic chemistry course and in need of help understanding the concepts, this series will help you understand the concepts instead of relying on memorization. If you’re planning on enrolling in an organic chemistry course and looking to get a head start, this book was made for you. This series was written in such a way that it remains as detailed as a traditional textbook but looks and reads like detailed class notes. Everything is hand-drawn and written. Throughout the book there are detailed explanations walking the reader through the reasoning of every statement, reaction, mechanism, etc. The goal is to assist you in understanding concepts instead of memorizing. Just like part 1 of the series, this book is divided into 29 lectures.
