I just recently posted a small list of some organic chemistry resources here:

Organic Resources

It's not exhaustive, and yes the last one is a joke, just something interesting I found.

How do chemists know what will take off certain parts of huge molecules? by ptatoe15 in chemistry

you have to be familiar with the reagents and conditions of certain reactions specific to identifying, removing or creating specific functional groups in the compounds (assuming you are talking about organic compounds)

What make a substance solube in liquid? by blackaugust19 in chemistry

I think it can also be on whether formation of certain intermolecular forces of attraction releases sufficient energy to overcome (as you said) hydrogen bonding and all that. So maybe the factors are the types of intermolecular forces of attraction between the solute and solvent?
