A clean, modern one-day chemistry study schedule poster. Title at top: "Organic Chemistry - One Day Study Plan". Three colored slots arranged vertically with a timeline on the left side. SLOT 1 (Morning, orange): 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM, Unit 07 Reaction Mechanisms - lists Arndt-Eistert, Baeyer-Villiger, Diels-Alder, Grignard, Metal Hydride Reduction, Wolff-Kishner, Friedel-Crafts, Perkin, Cannizzaro, Mannich. Lunch Break 12:30 - 1:30 PM (grey). SLOT 2 (Afternoon, blue): 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM, Units 08 and 09 - Reactive Intermediates and Carbonium Rearrangements - lists Free Radicals, Homolytic/Heterolytic Fission, Carbene, Nitrene, Carbanions, Pinacol-Pinacolone, Wagner-Meerwein, Wolff, Hofmann, Beckmann. Evening Break 5:30 - 6:30 PM (grey). SLOT 3 (Night, purple): 6:30 PM - 11:55 PM, Unit 10 Carbanion Rearrangements plus Revision - Condensation, Favorskii, Wittig, Full Unit Revision, Self-Test. Chemistry molecule decorations in corners. Professional academic style with white background.


Summary

Your plan covers 15.5 hours of active study (8:00 AM - 11:55 PM) with 2.5 hours of breaks built in to prevent burnout. Here's the structure at a glance:
SlotTimeDurationContent
Slot 18:00 AM - 12:30 PM4.5 hrsUnit 07 - All 10 Reactions
Lunch12:30 - 1:30 PM1 hrBreak
Slot 21:30 PM - 5:30 PM4 hrsUnit 08 + Unit 09
Evening5:30 - 6:30 PM1 hrBreak
Slot 36:30 PM - 11:55 PM5.5 hrsUnit 10 + Full Revision + Self-Test
Pro tips for today:
  • Keep a blank sheet nearby and draw every mechanism by hand - muscle memory beats reading
  • Cluster similar rearrangements together mentally (Wolff in Unit 07 links directly to Wolff in Unit 09 - same carbene intermediate)
  • Hofmann + Beckmann + Curtius are all "nitrogen rearrangements" - group them in your mind
  • Favorskii + Wittig are both carbanion-driven - note the difference in driving force
Good luck today! You've got this. πŸ’ͺ

What's Inside (28 KB, multi-page PDF)

SectionContent
Cover PageTitle, unit overview, table of contents
Unit 0710 named reactions (Arndt-Eistert through Mannich)
Unit 085 reactive intermediates (Homolytic/Heterolytic, Free Radicals, Carbene, Nitrene, Carbanions)
Unit 095 carbonium rearrangements (Pinacol, Wagner-Meerwein, Wolff, Hofmann, Beckmann)
Unit 103 carbanion reactions (Aldol/Claisen, Favorskii, Wittig)
Comparison TableAll 10 rearrangements side-by-side (starting material, intermediate, product, driving force)
Mnemonics Page14 one-line memory aids for every reaction
Each reaction card includes:
  • Numbered badge with color-coded unit
  • Reagents/conditions
  • Step-by-step mechanism (arrow-pushing logic)
  • Key points highlighted in dark boxes
  • Cross-reference notes where reactions link across units (e.g., Arndt-Eistert <-> Wolff)
