Organic Chemistry II
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this intermediate organic chemistry course covering methods for determining the structure of organic molecules, advanced stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, and strategies for synthesizing organic compounds. The material extends into applications of organic chemistry in biology, medicine, and industry, connecting laboratory reasoning to real-world systems. As with other MIT OCW offerings, the course includes lecture notes, problem sets, and exams drawn from an actual MIT undergraduate chemistry sequence, free to access with no certificate attached. It assumes prior coursework in introductory organic chemistry and builds on structural and mechanistic fundamentals rather than reintroducing them. The course suits students who already understand basic organic reactions and want to move into structure elucidation techniques and synthetic design. No enrollment or payment is required to use the materials.
