Wayfarer asked:


Help needed to apply knowledge of Dieckman Condensation
Retrosynthetic analysis
Robinson Annelation
Conjugate addition, 1,4 addition
Aldol Reaction (Intramolecular) etc in exam questions.
Any help is needed maybe from individuals who have studied this unit in Uni.
Any sites which could be useful, I need to ace the exam in May.
Thank you

snitchseeker616 asked:


I’m going to be a sophmore in college this year, school starts for me in a few days. I’m a bio major, and over the last year I took general chemistry for three quarters and I got an A each quarter. However, this year we have to take three quarters of organic chemistry. I’ve hear some VERY bad things about o-chem: horror stories, people failing, bad grades overall, etc. So I was wondering if anyone who has taken the class has any advice on how to do well, and if it really is as bad as people make it out to be. In general, I feel pretty comfortable with chemistry and I’ve always been pretty good at it, however, with everything I’ve heard about o-chem, I can’t help but be a little (or really) worried. Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!

So I know that if a molecule is chiral it was have an enantiomer but how do I tell by looking at it if it is a diastereomer?
please help!

mikeecare asked:


I have heard for swimmers ear, use a mixture of alcohol and vinegar ,but according to organic chemistry one is COOH and the other one is H ,so don’t they make water and salt and in that case they will lose their effectiveness.Please advise if you have knowledge of chemistry.Thanks.

I mean when in life (in the chemistry field) is organic chem going to be used? Also, when in physics or NASA do you use organic chemistry?

i took it last semester & did an ‘okay’ job ( i got a C). I’m taking my next semester off & would like to use that time to REALLY expand my knowledge since when i go back i have to take Organic Chem II. The text book i had was WAY too detailed & we didnt even touch on HALF the stuff in it.
