The only material I have for organic chemistry is TBR. Name reactions seems to be my biggest weakness and was wondering where to go to strengthen this area. I'm on a tight budget and looking for something other than Chad's videos.

Don't.

Name reactions aren't worth the trouble. Know the basics and you can figure them out anyways. You're very unlikely to be asked "What name reaction occurred in step 1?"

I would know Aldol (and Claisen) but that's really it.

Instead, for Orgo, focus on acid/base chemistry, hybridization, spec and nucleophilic/electrophilic chemistry.
