<p>good luck everyone!</p>
<p>35 more minutes until doomsday. I hope everyone does well! 
Or… everyone can do badly and the curve will be lower. haha.</p>
<p>everyone needs to do poorly. 
who created enantiomers? I put I DID. hahaha</p>
<p>LOLOL. It was louis pasteur, right?</p>
<p>It wasn’t as bad as I expected. He totally didn’t even put a lot of new stuff. :[</p>
<p>which is why it screwed me up. i studied hardcore on the new stuff but it might have consisted only maybe about a good 30%…</p>
<p>I’d have to agree with you there. I thought he said that he was going to focus mostly on the new stuff. LIES. It could go either way really. I think most of the synthesis problems were new stuff though. eh.</p>
<p>too bad i suck at syntheses…=</p>
<p>the synthesis was hard…</p>
<p>how did you guys turn pentene into 3-bromopentene? i couldn’t figure that out, so i just brominated it with uv light, but i know that’s wrong…</p>
<p>Br in CCl4 right?</p>
<p>i don’t think so, or else you’d get 1,2-dibromopentane</p>
<p>darn. i thought i got that one right. it’s NBS.</p>
<p>really? ****. i didn’t even review those obscure reactions that he went over…</p>
<p>cyclopentene…?</p>
<p>also, what was the difference between the two ozonoylsis intermediates?</p>
<p>edit: nevermind, just wiki’d it. damn.</p>
<p>yeah. i didn’t go over those either. i hate how there’s like many different ways to add hydrogens, and many different ways to form rings, etc. i got all confused.</p>
<p>one intermediate had all three O’s on one side of the bond, and the other had two on one side, one on the other.</p>
<p>what’s nms?</p>
<p>NBS. it’s N-bromosuccinimide. adds a Br via radical process. it’s one of the last reaction things we learned.</p>
<p>Oh, come on guys. The final is over and it’s Sunday. We should all be relaxing and doing something fun besides recounting our mistakes on a final. What is done and over with is in the past and we should focus on the present and future instead, like any future finals, moving out, summer plans, etc.</p>
