    This document lists various organic chemistry reagents used for common organic reactions involving alcohols, alkenes, alkynes, and halides. The reagents are grouped by the type of reaction they facilitate, such as converting an alcohol to an alkyl halide using SOCl2 or PBr3, converting an alkene to an alcohol using acidic conditions or BH3/THF, or converting an alkene to an epoxide using MCPBA. In total, 15 common organic reactions are described along with example reagents used to achieve each transformation.
