What are organic conversions or organic chemistry conversions?

Converting one organic compound to another organic compound, by using one or more other organic compounds or reagents by a single or multiple steps are called as organic conversions. The basic organic reactions are building blocks for the conversion in organic chemistry.

What are the most easy ways for organic conversions in organic chemistry class 12?

In order to do the organic conversions in an easy way, you need to learn about the basic organic chemistry reactions which are provided to us in chapter in the form of preparation of a particular compound and chemical properties of it. You need to remember these organic reactions.

Don’t try to rote learn the organic conversions or organic reactions.

Try to write the organic reactions and practice writing as many organic reactions as you can. It will help you to learn them easily.

Tip (which I followed): Prepare a organic conversion chart and paste it on a wall in your room where you can see the chart clearly. If you are doing some other work than studying. Try to look at the chart casually. Remember don’t try to learn the reactions, just look at chart how reactions are occurring. After some days, you will realise that you can remember the organic conversions very well.

I have attached organic conversion charts within the post, to reduce your burden of writing down. Also if you have time to write it down yourself, so you should definitely write down at your own.

What is asked in exams?

Organic chemistry conversions of class 12 are major problems you have to do in examinations.

Organic conversions questions have important role in organic chemistry questions. If you practice these organic conversions properly, you can get full marks for these questions in your organic conversion class 12 examinations.

Is there an easy way to do conversion in organic chemistry?

There is no easy way for conversions, but you will make the organic conversions easy when you are well aware about the compounds and reagents.

Try to do it the conversions in minimum number of steps possible.

Always remember the basic organic reactions.

Points to remember:

You have to practice as many questions as possible.
You have to identify which kind of organic compound is given in question and think about the basic reaction of that compound.
Think backward. Try to think from the final product (target compound). How is the final product produced? If there are many methods, which one is the best method?
You should have a good knowledge and memory about organic compounds, reagents and reactions.

It is better to start with the basic conversions, they help you to solve the higher level conversions. Learn basic reactions of organic chemistry class 11 and organic chemistry class 12. Above all, keep reading the reaction maps which you have or these which are attached here, it helps to keep you updated.

In conclusion, practice as much as possible. Always prefer to write down the reaction on paper (or white board or any other which you prefer), it will help you to remember it for longer time. Don’t try to memorize it directly from the study material, you will end up getting nothing. In conversion in organic chemistry class 12, mechanism of reaction will help you a lot to understand the concept how the reaction is going on.

Try to go through the basic reactions first, i.e., from class 11 Hydrocarbons, and then from the class 12 section starting from chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes.
