Liz's Rockin' Chem 17 Page

Fun Chem 17 Stuff

This is an unofficial page on which I will put some Chem 17 stuff from time to time.

The official page can be found here.

And here is another page with lots of helpful things, if using it doesn't make you feel too much like a traitor! It has some useful information, lots of practice problems, and a number of general organic chemistry resources. Make sure you check out ORGO -- Organic Reactions Go Online. This site is being developed by my first organic chemistry professor (from Fall '94).

Week of 11/30:

Exam 4 is this Friday at 11 AM!

A few words on alkylation of enolates.

Some synthesis problems (with answers) to try.

Week of 10/26:

E1/2, SN1/2 handout

Some light reading to supplement/summarize lecture notes and help clarify which type of reaction happens under any given circumstances.
Skip to page:

Try some of the following ORGO problems, and go through the explanations:
- Alkyl halides, problems 2, 3.
- Based on your knowledge of pKas, you should also be able to do Alkyl halides, problems 1 and 5.

"Help me, Liz!"
