Below are the new Organic Chemistry examination specifications that are anticipated to be implemented in April 2026.  \nOrganic Chemistry (30 items)  \n• Mechanisms  \no Curved Arrows  \n• Single Mechanism (Resonance, Free Radical, Proton Transfer, Addition, Elimination, Substitution, Rearrangements, Other (e.g. , Diels-Alder))  \n• Combined Mechanisms  \no Reaction Coordinate Diagrams  \no General  \n• Chemical Synthesis  \no One-Step (Substitution (i.e. , SN1, SN2), Elimination (i.e. , E1, E2), Reactions of Alkenes/Alkynes, Reactions of Alcohols, Reactions of Ethers (incl. Epoxides), Radical Reactions, Reactions of Aromatics, Reactions of Carboxylic Acids/Derivatives, Reactions of Ketones and Aldehydes, Reactions of Alpha-carbonyl Compounds, Other Reactions)  \no Two-Step  \no Multi-Step  \no Reactivity Across Multiple Functional Groups  \no General  \n• Acid-Base Chemistry  \no Ranking Acidity/Basicity Across Functional Groups  \no Structure Analysis Within Functional Groups (Charge, Size, Electronegativity, Resonance, Inductive Effect, Hybridization, Sterics)  \no Prediction of Products & Equilibria  \no General  \n• Chemical & Physical Properties of Molecules  \no Structure (Polarity, Intermolecular Forces, Solubility, Melting/Boiling Point, General)  \no Laboratory Theory & Techniques (Chromatography, Extractions, Recrystallization, Distillation, General)  \no Spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR, 13C NMR, Infrared, Multi-spectra, General)  \n• Structural Evaluation  \no Nomenclature (Functional groups, IUPAC rules)  \no Stereochemistry (Conformations, Isomer relationships, Chirality)  \no Structure & Bonding (Aromaticity, Hybridization, Resonance, Atomic/Molecular Orbitals, Bond Angles/Lengths, Relative Stability/Reactivity)  \no General  \nNote on Organic Chemistry Mechanisms: The following examples show how curved arrows are used to represent organic chemistry mechanisms on the DAT.  \nDouble/full-headed curved arrows (Figure A) represent the movement of electron pairs. Single/half-headed (fishhook) curved arrows (Figure B) represent the movement of a single electron. Candidates are asked to predict products based on starting materials and curved arrows. Additionally, candidates are asked to predict curved arrow(s) based on starting materials and products.","cbCair7s0Sda7DWc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair7s0Sda7DWc","pdf",197452,"English","# Organic Chemistry (30 items)\n## Mechanisms\n## Chemical Synthesis\n## Acid-Base Chemistry\n## Chemical & Physical Properties of Molecules\n## Structural Evaluation\n# Note on Organic Chemistry Mechanisms","[{\"question\":\"What kinds of updates are included for the April 2026 Organic Chemistry examination specifications?\",\"answer\":\"The updates do not represent major content changes; they mainly improve topic names for clarity and add a more comprehensive list of subtopics.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document define curved-arrow use in Organic Chemistry mechanisms?\",\"answer\":\"Double/full-headed curved arrows represent electron-pair movement, while single/half-headed fishhook arrows represent single-electron movement.\"},{\"question\":\"Which major topic areas are covered in the 30-item Organic Chemistry specification?\",\"answer\":\"The scope includes Mechanisms, Chemical Synthesis, Acid-Base Chemistry, Chemical \\u0026 Physical Properties of Molecules, and Structural Evaluation.\"}]","NEW Organic Chemistry Examination Specifications - Anticipated Implementation April 2026 | PDF"]
