🧪 Organic Chemistry Mechanism Solver

Learn curved‑arrow mechanisms interactively – click on electron sources (bonds/lone pairs) and drag to targets (atoms/bonds) to form/break bonds.

Click on a bond or lone pair (source), then on an atom or bond (target) to push electrons.

📝 Mechanism Steps

💡 Instructions

Select a reaction from the dropdown.
Click the source (bond or lone pair) to push electrons from.
Then click the target (atom or bond) to push electrons to.
If correct, the step advances and the molecule updates.
Complete all steps to finish the mechanism.

📖 Why curved arrows?

Curved arrows are the language of organic chemistry. They show the movement of electrons – from a nucleophile (electron source) to an electrophile (electron target). This tool helps you practice identifying nucleophiles, electrophiles, and the correct arrow pushing for common reactions. Mastering this is essential for understanding reaction mechanisms.
