Real outcomes

It's not the mechanism. It's
the stereo outcome.

Orgo students don't fail mechanisms because they don't understand them, they fail because the stereochemistry flipped, the regiochemistry was secondary, or the rearrangement wasn't expected. The students below caught those patterns with AskSia.

2.9->3.6+0.7

AskSia drew arrow pushing mechanisms for every problem in my Orgo I problem set with electron flow color coded. SN1 versus SN2 finally became a decision tree instead of guessing.

Aiden · Pre-med
Johns Hopkins · Class of 2026
3.2->3.8+0.6

For spectroscopy I uploaded my NMR practice spectra into AskSia. Got peak assignments walked through with coupling constants explained. Aced the spectroscopy section of the final.

Marcus · Chem
Duke · Class of 2027
3.0->3.7+0.7

The retrosynthesis helper turned 'make this molecule' into a clean tree of disconnections with reagents cited. Saved hours on my Orgo II synthesis problem set.

Open

Sia Note for Orgo chapters

Turns a Klein chapter on aromatic substitution into one note: reaction class, mechanism, regiochemistry, stereochemistry, common board pitfall, retrosynthesis applications.

Open

Retrosynthesis tree builder

Walks retrosynthesis backward from your target to commercial starting materials with each disconnection rationalized. Strong on Orgo II synthesis problems.

Open

AI detector for Orgo writeups

Lab discussions and pre-lab questions get flagged sentence by sentence if they read as AI-written. Catch it before submission.

Open

Orgo flashcards · FSRS

Auto-built decks by reaction class (SN, E, addition, aromatic, carbonyl) with mechanism, conditions, regio/stereo outcomes tagged. FSRS spacing tuned to your final exam.

Open

Orgo concept map

The whole Orgo curriculum as a navigable functional-group transformation tree. Each reaction class linked back to its Klein page and the lecture timestamp.

Open

AI tutor for Orgo

Voice-first or text. Walk an SN1 versus SN2 three different ways, drill stereochemistry until R/S clicks, or explain why aromatic systems prefer substitution over addition.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions.

Can AskSia draw curved-arrow mechanisms with stereochemistry preserved?
Yes. AskSia draws every mechanism with color-coded electron flow, preserves R/S designations through the reaction, and shows stereochemical outcomes (retention, inversion, racemization) explicitly. 98% accuracy across SN1/SN2/E1/E2 and named reactions.
Does AskSia handle retrosynthesis for Orgo II?
Yes. AskSia walks retrosynthesis backward from your target to commercial starting materials. Each disconnection is rationalized with the forward reaction shown. Strong on Orgo II synthesis problems and grad-school-prep retrosynthesis.
Will AskSia help with the MCAT Orgo sections?
Yes. AskSia generates MCAT Chem/Phys-style Orgo passages with experimental data, mechanism questions, and synthesis problems. Tracks weak topic clusters (acid-base, stereochemistry, named reactions).
Can AskSia help with NMR and IR spectroscopy problems?
Yes. Upload your spectrum image; AskSia identifies functional groups from IR peaks, assigns proton/carbon NMR signals with chemical shift and coupling reasoning, and proposes the full structure. Catches multiplet patterns (dd vs td) that get downgraded.
Is AskSia free for organic chemistry students?
Yes, AskSia is free for organic chemistry students to start, no credit card required. Free includes daily generation across all tools, unlimited library access, and the browser extension. AskSia Pro and Super unlock unlimited generation, full Mock Exam mode, free-response auto-grading at scale, priority models, and unlimited transcription minutes.
Which platforms does AskSia run on?
Four surfaces, all syncing in real time: (1) Web app at asksia.ai, (2) iOS and Android mobile apps, (3) Browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers, which adds Sync to AskSia on Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, and Everytime, (4) Native desktop agent for macOS and Windows.
Does AskSia help with the ACS Organic Chemistry exam?
Yes. AskSia generates ACS-style practice questions matching the National Standard Exam format. Auto-graded explanations match the depth ACS expects. Strong on the Orgo I and Orgo II ACS exam topic distributions.
Can AskSia help with Orgo lab reports and pre-labs?
Yes. AskSia drafts Orgo lab reports in your TA's format with proper experimental procedure, IR/NMR analysis, yield calculations, and error discussion. Strong on undergrad and post-bacc Orgo lab patterns.
Is AskSia OK for Orgo coursework?
Most Orgo departments treat AI tutors like upper-class study group help, fine for understanding mechanisms, not for direct copy-paste of synthesis problems. AskSia shows every step so you learn the technique. The AI detector verifies writeups read as your own work.
