Organic Chemistry Tips:

Know the Lewis structures for the various functional groups; this is greatly facilitated through the making of “compound cards” for each and every functional group.
Understand how to deduce the oxidation states of carbon to determine if an oxidation or reduction is taking place.
Know the structures of all reagents, especially those normally designated by acronyms, LAH, PCC, NBS, etc.
Realize that 95% of Organic Chemistry is rationalized as a nucleophile (Nu) going after an electrophile (E).
Learn this simple rule: Nucleophiles do not react with nucleophiles; electrophiles do not react with electrophiles.
Be able to identify the most nucleophilic center in any Nu, and the most electrophilic center in any E.
Know that Organic Chemistry is all about pushing electrons, absolutely nothing else, just pushing electrons.
Understand that whenever the opportunity presents itself, a carbocation will rearrange to yield the most thermodynamically stable carbocation, always!
Realize the outcome of organic reactions can be understood either through steric effects or electronic effects. That’s all there is!
