Abstract

This paper introduces the way to design exercises to determine the structural formula of organic compounds based on the experimental data. They are structure, physical properties, typical chemical properties, synthesis methods and application. From that the authors have built the scheme to design exercises. On that basis, the authors compiled some exercises which are used for teaching and learning organic chemistry in university and high school.
