Do you know any easy way to memorise organic chemistry reaction ?Because there are so many reactions in organic chemistry and it is very difficult to memorise them.If you know any kinds of easiest way or tricks to memorise reactions,please tell me.

organic reactions are easy to learn . as all the reactions involved carbon and hydrogen as the main components.Most of the reactions are either substitution or addition. Single bond like methane or any alkane shows substitution reaction whereas double or triple bond reactions shows addition.
ex. CH4 +HCl--------> CH3Cl +H2. (substitution)
C2H4 +HCl-------> C2H5Cl (addition)
This works for almost all reactions.
Practice will make you perfect.

I think the easiest way to understand the mechanisms behind the reactions. This will allow you to apply the chemistry to molecules you haven't seen before instead of try to memorize every little reaction.

There is no easy solution to this question. Just sit down and be prepared to spend a decent amount of time writting equations over and over again. There is no other way. Try to understand any concepts as well and if you dont understand go to your professor many are willing to help.

Take it from an Organic Chemistry professor, please... the BEST way, is to plant your butt in front of a blackboard (whiteboard, etc) and go thru the reactions (and their mechanisms) over and over and over until they are second nature to you... There is no magic "key" because there are exceptions or limitations to every generalization made.
Practice, practice, practice....

I just use the tried and tested method of looking at your notes over and over and over and over...
