About
Each week, we will do one topic on organic synthesis, from the basic functional groups recognization to more advanced name reactions.

Hi! I'm joining Schoolhouse to share my enthusiasm for learning, collaborate with fellow students, and support others in their academic journeys. Whether it's diving into reaction mechanisms or discussing biochemical pathways, I'm always eager to engage in insightful discussions. Let's learn and grow together! Heute lernen, morgen führen! ( Remember, CHEM is NOT MY REAL NAME ! )
