Organic Chemistry

Exam-focused notes built from your TMU lecture slides (Dr Heli Fan, 2024) + 2019–2022 past papers, cross-checked against McMurry & Ballantine 8e. Naming + reactions are the highest-yield topics — each chapter has notes, a 20-MCQ Q-Bank, and three revision tiers (5-min, 15-min, day-before).
