  2. Aldehydes & Ketones: Nucleophilic addition reactions (e.g., HCN, NH₃), aldol condensation, Cannizzaro reaction, and haloform reaction.
  3. Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers: Reactions like Williamson’s synthesis, oxidation, and electrophilic substitution in phenols.
  4. Amines: Hofmann rearrangement, Gabriel synthesis, and diazotization reactions.
  5. Named Reactions: Reactions such as Sandmeyer, Clemmensen, Wolff-Kishner, and Friedel-Crafts.

How to Prepare the Important Topics for JEE Advanced 2025 Chemistry?

JEE Advanced Chemistry demands thorough preparation due to its intricate nature. This guide provides an effective approach to handle key topics.

  1. Know the Syllabus & What’s Important: Download the official syllabus and check which topics are most important. Focus more on topics that carry higher marks.
  2. Use the Best Study Material: Start with NCERT Chemistry, then use Morrison & Boyd and Solomon & Fryhle for deeper understanding. Try MS Chauhan and Himanshu Pandey for solving Organic Chemistry problems. Watch YouTube videos or use learning apps for tricky topics. Solve them to understand the exam pattern and frequently asked questions.
  3. Make a Study Plan: Divide your time based on how tough or important a topic is. Set weekly and monthly goals. Don’t forget to keep time for revision!
  4. Practice is the Key: Take mock tests and solve old papers. After each test, see where you made mistakes and improve. Practice different kinds of questions—numerical, theory-based, and reasoning.
  5. Understand, Don’t Just Memorize: Learn the concepts behind reactions and formulas. Use diagrams and visual tricks to understand complex ideas better. Apply your knowledge to solve real problems.
  6. Clear Your Doubts Quickly: Ask teachers or friends when you’re stuck. Use online doubt-solving forums if needed. Group study can also help understand topics from a new perspective.
  7. Manage Your Time Well: Stick to your study schedule. Avoid distractions like mobile and TV during study time. Practice solving papers within the time limit to improve speed.
