How an organic chemistry flashcards app fits into your study routine

Reaction mechanisms, functional groups and stereochemistry are hard to hold in memory, so many students want an organic chemistry flashcards app that works from the material they already have. DeckOwl reads your lecture slides and chapter PDFs and writes cards that ask for the mechanism, the product or the rule behind it.

Example organic chemistry flashcards

What functional group defines an alcohol?A hydroxyl group, -OH, bonded to a saturated carbon atom.

What is the rate law for an SN2 reaction?Rate = k[alkyl halide][nucleophile]. It is second order overall and proceeds with inversion of configuration.

In Markovnikov addition of HX to an alkene, where does the hydrogen add?To the carbon that already has more hydrogens, so the halide ends up on the more substituted carbon, because the more stable carbocation forms.

What intermediate does an E1 elimination pass through?A carbocation, formed in a slow first step before a base removes a proton in a fast second step.

What makes a carbon a stereocenter?It is bonded to four different groups, so the molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images, so your professor's handwritten board work can become cards too.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know drop back in the queue. Reviews spread out over days so mechanisms stick before the exam.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true or false, and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map of a reaction family.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF chapter, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a page. Start free with no credit card.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each flashcard and edit anything that does not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through the daily review queue in your browser. Missed cards return more often until they are solid.

Spaced repetition does most of the work. Instead of cramming a full week of reactions the night before an exam, you review a few cards a day and let the schedule bring back the ones you keep missing. Free accounts can study in the browser, and Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for organic chemistry?

Aim for one card per reaction, mechanism step or functional group rule from the lecture, which often means 30 to 60 cards per unit. Split long mechanisms into separate cards for the intermediates and the arrow-pushing steps.

How do I study reaction mechanisms with flashcards?

Put the starting material and reagent on the front and the product plus the key step on the back, then redraw the arrows from memory. Review the mechanism cards more often than the nomenclature cards, since they take longer to recall.

Can I export my organic chemistry flashcards to Anki?

Yes, exporting to Anki is available on the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The Free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan for generating flashcards?

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with spaced repetition. No credit card is needed to start, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
