Orgo thread
Discuss Organic Chemistry and shit
Draw some hexagons
Panic when you see non hexagonal cycles
Panic when you see epoxides
Panic in general
lets go

at least post a fucking benzene ring or something, you cunt
didn't know what m-CPBA does on my final yesterday
kill me
someone post a meme molecule
what are the most common labs I am expected to perform in an intro to ocehm lab?

First you learn some techniques: tlc, column chromatography, acid/base extraction, distillation.
Then you carry out whatever reactions your instructor likes/picks from a lab manual someone else forced on them/found in J. Chem. Educ./the stockroom has materials for/the department can afford and has equipment for.

I forgot recrystallization, for shame
RIP if you do organic synthesis in grad school.
>>8076626
>will form epoxides
obviously i know that know. fuck the only way I learned was using RCO3H and NaOH
>>8076673
>RCO3H
but that includes mCPBA
>>8076363
Why?
>>8076748
>but that includes mCPBA
Yeah, I didn't know that.

in short...
-too much competition in academia
-too much competition for jobs
-too much work in grad school
-i hope you like working with white/yellow/brown substances for the rest of your life
-little to no quantitative knowledge (math, physics, etc)
-employers will fuck and chuck you once they use you for their project / your salary gets too high so they just hire another one of the army of PhDs in line behind you for less.
chemistry is just a bad field to be in right now.

Here's a neat paper that came out today in JACS. It's got some neat mechanistic work with implications for radical chemistry, especially radical chemistry.
