brettl writes "In trying to read technical articles related to the field, I find that I do not have nearly enough chemistry background to keep up with many of the discussions. Is there any way to learn this without going back to school for an organic chemistry class?"
brettl continues:
I'm sure it sounds arrogant to think that I could just pick this up (I realize that most of the authors spent 7+ years learning the chemistry they use in these articles), but it's fascinating stuff and I just can't afford the classwork currently. So alternatives are greatly appreciated.
