Posting exercises for everyone with rising difficulty?
I have the book "organic chemistry by Vollhardt and Schore 5th ed" and the corresponding book with the solutions for the exercises.
I´d do the work of posting the exercises at the end of each chaper and the solutions with scanned images in two different threads (excersises and
solutions split) if there´s enough interest!
I think posting them and the may following discussion may helps to improve the knowledge of everybody studying on his own and at universities.

I'd be interested. I am basically uneducated in OC (Although I have picked up a bit along the way.)

I didn´t find it on libgen, they only have "Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, 5th Edition" by Vollhardt and Schore, wich is a different
book.

OC exercises
I'd be interested, apart from "O"-level Chemistry I've Self taught the little I know about organic chemistry and it would be great to learn more about
reaction mechanisms and the reason why certain reactions work and others don't.

I too would like to be part of a group learning together
- especially with SM members as mentors, (actually, a rare priviledge if you think about it)
unfortunately for months I'll be unable to do anything practical, which is my main pleasure,
(learning, understanding, doing, failing, re-learning ... 
I'll probably lurk - mostly.
P.S. when Appolo 13 went to the moon I was studying 'A-Level' chemistry,
I enjoyed inorganic but failed miserably at organic - too much to remember

I'd be really interested (as someone who struggles to get up in the morning, "rising difficulty" seems tailor made for me!) but may be reluctant to
expose my ignorance by posting.

When I read this thread's title, I wondered if it was a spam post about an impotence cure that had been poorly translated.
But the actual purpose of the post does sound like a good idea.
There was a thread by blogfast25 about quantum mechanics related math that was informative and included exercises etc.
It might be nice if items like that could either be grouped together, or all have some unusual keyword in their titles so they could be hunted up
easily by the many autodidacts we've got around here.
Say maybe they all get 'seminar', or 'exercises' or some other appropriate word added to their titles to facilitate searching for them.

Great! Love to read about the interest of you guys! I/we ´ve started to translate the exercises today. I hope, you can expect the first chapter (five
pages) on tuesday or wednesday. This is not easy stuff to translate and everything is counter-checked by my girlfriend before posting (she is way
better than me spotting errors wich are mandatory for exercises, she is a language correspondent but her technical/chemical vocabulary and the
corresponding formulations are limited).
If somebody of you is in the posession of superior german to english skills please U2U me for another read!

@SWIM
Seminar is great, I will use it:
Organic chemistry seminar exercises with rising difficulty
How about this title for the thread?

Thank you for the effort! I'm looking forward. I could try to translate something, I can read German and write English, but I do not always have time;
sometimes a lot, sometimes none.
