Organic chemistry problems that interrelate and integrate synthesis with spectroscopy are presented. These synthesis鈥搒pectroscopy roadmap (SSR) problems uniquely engage second-year undergraduate organic chemistry students in the personal discovery of organic chemistry. SSR problems counter the memorize-or-bust strategy that many students tend to employ in the study of organic chemistry with an instructional strategy that fosters 鈥渟eeing鈥?connections, 鈥渉earing鈥?what a problem has to say, and 鈥渇eeling鈥?the exhilaration that comes with discovery.
