IB Chemistry, Organic Reactions

I found this great flowchart from the University of York that is basically the flowchart Mrs. Atkins showed in class, except in much more detail. All we need to know for now is simply the type of reaction--just the colors of the arrows.

For additional resources about organic reactions, check out the following documents:
