>>11108494Theoretical or practical? For practical exposure it really depends on what country you are in as to how easy it is to get hold of equipment and reagents, nevermind even accurately identifying what you made.
As for theoretical; get some old edition textbooks and the answer manuals and work through them. Structure your self directed course on a european type chemistry degree, rather than a US as they lack rigour. Clayden for organic chemistry is pretty comprehensive, and atkins physics as well as atkins inorganic is good. Also read Keelers "why chemical reactions happen" as a primer.
