Organic Chemistry Study Guide Maker

Organic chemistry tests pattern recognition: functional groups, reagents, mechanisms and stereochemistry. A useful orgo study guide groups reactions by type, spells out what each reagent does, and gives you practice from your own lecture material — not a random internet dump.

Teacher modePlus / Pro

Also generate a fill-in-the-blank worksheet + answer key (separate page in Word/PDF). No extra AI call.

Teacher mode unlocks on Student Plus / Pro (and Starter / Exam / Semester packs).

No sign-up · 2 free guides a day · Files are read in your browser, never stored

Try an example:

Upload your orgo slides, a text-based PDF of the chapter or problem set notes, a Word handout, or paste your notes. Study Guide Maker builds an outline of the unit, explains key concepts in plain language, writes a glossary, and adds practice questions and flashcards with citations back to your pages or slides.

Pick College (or AP/IB if that matches your course). Mechanisms drawn only as images are not read — type reagent names and key steps as text if they live only in figures.

What your study guide includes

Unit outline

Topics in course order with page or slide references.

Reaction and reagent summaries

What reacts, typical reagents and products when your notes include them.

Mechanism checkpoints

Named steps and electron-flow ideas described in your text (not invented arrows).

Glossary

Functional groups, stereochemistry terms and named reactions from your source.

Practice questions + answer key

Multiple choice and short answer drawn from your material.

Flashcards

Reagents, functional groups and definitions; export as CSV.

How to make a study guide with AI in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Add your material

    Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, Word or text file — or paste your notes.

  2. 2

    Get your guide

    Study Guide Maker builds an outline, key concepts, glossary, practice questions, and flashcards, and tags every point with the page it came from.

  3. 3

    Study, print, or share

    Quiz yourself right on the page, flip through flashcards, or export to PDF, Word and CSV.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is how cells turn the chemical energy in glucose into ATP. It happens in three stages — glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain — and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.

  1. 1. Overview of cellular respiration

    • Overall equation: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP + heat).p. 1
    • Aerobic respiration needs oxygen and yields far more ATP than fermentation.p. 1
  2. 2. Glycolysis

    • Glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm, producing a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.p. 2
    • Glycolysis does not require oxygen.p. 2
  3. 3. Krebs (citric acid) cycle

    • Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix; each acetyl-CoA produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP and 2 CO2.p. 3
  4. 4. Electron transport chain

    • Located in the inner mitochondrial membrane; NADH and FADH2 donate electrons that pump H+ ions and drive ATP synthase.p. 4
    • Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and forms water.p. 4

Frequently asked questions

Can it read mechanism arrows from images?

No. Only text is read. Describe key steps in words or use typed mechanism notes so they appear in the guide.

Is this for OChem 1 and 2?

Yes. Make separate guides per chapter or reaction family so each file stays focused.

Will it add reactions that are not in my notes?

The guide is instructed to use only your source. Check anything important against the cited page before you memorize it.

Is it free?

You can make 2 guides a day without an account, or 10 a month after signing in with Google.
