Practice Problems for Organic Chemistry by Marc Loudon, Jim Parise
Studying organic chemistry with Loudon & Parise? The table below maps every chapter of the 7th edition (Macmillan Learning / W. H. Freeman, 2021) to matching free practice on RealOChem — interactive problems with instant feedback, plus reaction worksheets curated from the chemical literature.
Reorganized vs 6e: alkenes+alkynes combined in ch 4-5; radicals/organometallics/carbenes consolidated in ch 10; nomenclature pulled into ch 2 and 8.
