Abstract
Students always show problems when learning about synthesis organic. Therefore, purposed of this research is want to reveal all students- problems in synthesis organic chemistry. The participants of this research are 16 students of chemistry education in one state university in Papua, Indonesia. The type of this research is descriptive research where the students are given learning concerning to the concepts of the synthesis of organic compounds. The result shows students having a highest problems in concepts product stereochemistry of organic compound and the lowest in concepts about the functionality groups. Therefore, based on this study the lecturer have to give a clearly explanations about the concepts of reagent, required condition and related to the stereochemistry product in learning synthesis organic.
