Students always show problems when learning about synthesis organic. Therefore, this study aims to reveal all students’ problems in synthesis organic chemistry. The participants of this research were 16 students of chemistry education in one of state university in Papua, Indonesia. This research was a descriptive research of which the students are given learning that concern to the concepts of the synthesis of organic compounds. The result shows that the students’ highest problem was in the concepts of stereochemistry product of organic compound, while the lowest one was in the concepts of the groups’functionality. Based on this study, the lecturer have to give a clearly explanations about the concepts of reagent, required condition, and related stereochemistry product.
