Best way to memorise the organic synthesis mechanisms map??? AQA A level
STAGE I Go onto chemrevise.org then AQA guides and click on the organic synthesis one. You'll see the aromatic and aliphatic maps. I just draw the map out with the arrows and compound names then I fill the rest in by myself (eg conditions, reagents and mechanism).
STAGE II Another thing is to write out all the compounds on the map onto a piece of paper and give every one a number. Use a random number generator to select to random functional groups (eg the website selected and 1 and 14, and carboxylic acid and ester were 1st and 14th on your list) then state how you would go from your starting molecule to your target molecule - similar to questions given in exams. Hope that helps and use spaced repetition!!
PS. Also look on the Internet for blank organic synthesis maps to help you do it quicker
