Organic Chemistry MCAT Practice

Functional groups, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and lab techniques.

Organic Chemistry questions on the MCAT lean on mechanism and reasoning rather than reaction memorization — recognizing nucleophiles, electrophiles, and how a functional group's electronics predict reactivity matters more than recalling a specific named reaction. Stereochemistry, spectroscopy (IR/NMR), and lab technique questions (extraction, chromatography, distillation) appear frequently in passages describing real experimental setups. It's tested under both the Chem/Phys and Bio/Biochem sections, so it shows up more than its topic count might suggest.
