Struggling to Remember Reagents, Conditions & Mechanisms?
Organic chemistry is one of the hardest parts of A-level chemistry. There are so many reagents, conditions, and mechanisms to learn, and it’s easy to forget them under exam pressure. But just memorising them isn’t enough—you need to understand how reactions work and be able to apply them in questions.
That’s where these AS Organic Chemistry Flashcards come in. They’ll help you:
Test yourself on key reagents and conditions.
Quickly recall the name of each mechanism (nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, oxidation, elimination, free radical substitution, and more).
Recognise common side products so you don’t lose marks.
Train your brain to work out mechanisms from knowledge, rather than just memorising.
This isn’t just about memorisation—you need to understand and apply reactions in the exam. Watch the video to learn how to approach mechanisms logically, then use these flashcards to test yourself and make sure you really know them.
Perfect for AQA, OCR A, and Edexcel A-level Chemistry.
Watch the video to learn the method.
Use the flashcards to test and reinforce your knowledge.
Apply what you’ve learned in exam questions.
How to Use:
Print them double-sided, cut them out, and test yourself.
Or use them online, flipping between questions and answers.
