IB HL Chemistry Summary 2: Organic Chemistry & Spectroscopy
Free IB HL Chemistry summary covering organic chemistry, reaction pathways, spectroscopy, NMR, IR and mass spectrometry.
- What it is: A 45-page HL summary of organic chemistry and spectroscopy – homologous series, functional groups, IUPAC naming, reaction mechanisms and pathways, plus the interpretation of mass spectrometry, IR and NMR data required at Higher Level.
- Why you need it: Organic chemistry is a memory-and-mechanism subject where students gain or lose marks on naming rules, reagents and conditions. This sheet keeps every reaction pathway and spectroscopic clue together for fast, structured revision.
- Who it’s for: IB HL Chemistry students who need to master organic synthesis routes and spectroscopic analysis, and the tutors and parents guiding their revision.
- How it helps: By mapping functional-group transformations and spectroscopy in a single reference, it helps students predict products, recall reagents, and decode spectra under exam conditions.
