Write a plausible mechanism. Use a pencil. Do not erase bad arrows; cross them out. The path to the right answer is paved with wrong intermediates. If you get stuck, ask: "What would a trace acid/base do here?" advanced organic chemistry practice problems

Start today. Open Grossman's book to Chapter 2, draw a bizarre carbocation rearrangement, and push those electrons. The maze may be complex, but with each problem, the path becomes clearer. Bookmark this article

Read the entire problem. Do not touch your pen. What is the output? A product? A rate law? A spectrum? What are the constraints? (Thermal? Photochemical? Acidic?) draw a bizarre carbocation rearrangement
