    Welcome to Chemistry 226, your first semester of organic chemistry! Prepare to be amazed as you develop an entirely new capacity of complex scientific problem solving. This course is a fastpaced, action-packed depiction of structure and reactivity of organic molecules. While your chemistry education to date probably has largely overlapped with some biology and physics lectures, organic chemistry is like a unique and beautiful snowflake, arguably unlike any scientific course you have ever had.
