Practice Problems for Organic Chemistry by Janice Gorzynski Smith
Studying organic chemistry with Smith? The table below maps every chapter of the 7th edition (McGraw Hill, 2024) to matching free practice on RealOChem — interactive problems with instant feedback, plus reaction worksheets curated from the chemical literature.
Spectroscopy is in standalone unnumbered sections A/B/C between ch 12 and 13 (structure shared with 6e); ch 29-31 are online-only. McGraw Hill's '2026 Release' has an identical chapter list. NAS/SNAr coverage could not be verified in this book; nas-worksheet intentionally unmapped.

Using the 6th edition? (McGraw-Hill, 2020)
Same ch 1-27 structure as 7e (including Spectroscopy A/B/C sections); differs at the tail: no Nucleic Acids chapter, Synthetic Polymers in print as ch 28, Lipids online-only as ch 29. NAS/SNAr coverage could not be verified in this book; nas-worksheet intentionally unmapped.
