Organic Chemistry I

This Libretext is for the first semester of organic chemistry at Providence College. The course materials have been adapted from the lecture notes I have accumulated over the years and Organic Chemistry, 5th edition, by Maitland Jones, Jr. and Stephen Fleming. Course topics include organic structure and bonding, nomenclature, conformational analysis, structure elucidation, stereochemistry, substitution and elimination reactions, and reactions of alkenes and alkynes.
