Organic Chemistry is understood by reading the textbook, listening to lectures and memorizing name reactions with reagents. But perhaps most importantly, it is learnt by doing, that is, solving problems. It is not uncommon for students who have performed below expectation in JEE to explain that they honestly thought they understood the text and lectures. The difficulty, however, lies in applying, generalizing, and extending the specific reactions and mechanisms they have "memorized" to the solution of a very broad array of related problems. In doing so, students will begin to "internalize" Organic Chemistry to develop an intuitive feel for, and appreciation of, the underlying logic of the subject. Acquiring that level of skill requires but goes far beyond rote learning. It is the ultimate process by which one learns to manipulate the myriad of reactions and, in time, gains a predictive power that will facilitate solving new problems.
