Distribution of topics for exam no. 3

50 points of multiple choice questions on reactions (synthetic sequences - which is best for converting A to B?, name the product given the reactant, name the reactant given the product, etc.) . Reactions will mainly include addition processes, oxidation and reduction processes, as well as organometallic reagent reactions, but also some substitution, elimination and rearrangement. Stereochemistry will be important. Chapters 8, 11 and 12 mainly. Small amounts from chapter 10. I am including a lot of multiple choice to get you prepared for the final exam, which is all multiple choice.

16 points on rxns where you will have to write curved arrow reaction mechansims. These will include mainly heterolytic reactions, but also some radical processes. You will need to use the curved arrow convention correctly, draw correct line bond structures, the structures of the reactants and products, as well as the intermediates.

8 points for two roadmap problems involving a total of four unknowns which you must deduce the structure of based on the chemistry shown.

7 points of fill in the blank questions on reagents, qual tests, and general questions.

4 points on nomenclature...alcohols mainly

15 points of fill in the box (either reactant, reagent or product .... two will be given, one will be missing and need to be filled in.
