cyneburg asked:

I’m looking for a website that goes in-depth into hardcore Organic Chemistry, but one that can also explain the material in a clear way that’s easy to understand and take in. I’ve looked around, but am open to new suggestions. Anything is helpful! Thanks!
I wasn’t trying to diss book learning or anything (I have a huge required textbook): I was just trying to find some other way to learn the material. The reason I ask for websites is that they tend to have animations that might be helpful.

I may be old fashioned, but hard copy books are much easier for me.

There are many.
I often answer questions on the organic chemistry forum there. I also post answers to questions on my forum at

However, your question may be an oxymoron. To me, effective learning and pencil go together. If you wanted to learn a foreign language, a good set of tapes would not persuade me you had a good program. If you had to speak, I would expect the mental contribution would be so much higher that your learning would be greatly increased. If you were to consider that route, consider the book described at

Here is a comment I just received,
“I am amazed at how much i can do already with the help of your book.”
