What’s Going On My Friends!
If you are getting ready to take… or currently taking organic chemistry, then I want to officially welcome you to Organic Chemistry!
My name is Dr. Jason Dinsmore and I’m known as The OChem Whisperer. I’ve been helping students, just like you, completely crush organic chemistry and effortlessly move towards the top the class.
I’ve created this page to help you understand, learn and eventually ace your organic chemistry class. As you can see, it is a work in progress. Make sure to continually check for new material!
