    Orgo with Bio

    I'm a sophomore at Tufts and I'm trying to figure out when to take orgo. I took gen chem last year and struggled with it. I ended up with a B in chem 1 and a C+ in chem 2 (although part of the reason was because I somehow idiotically skipped two pages on the final). I'm currently registered for...

    DAT and Orgo Spectroscopy?

    Hey guys! Of you all who have taken the DAT, how often do IR/NMR spectroscopy problems show up? IR is pretty straight forward but NMR is kind of confusing and I don't really understand it. Any tips or links to helpful material would be appreciated!

    Gen Chem 2 and Orgo

    My school only requires Gen Chem 1 as a pre-req for Orgo. However, in order to make my schedule work out, it looks like I'll be taking Gen Chem 2 and Orgo 1 at the same time. Has anyone done this? How manageable is it?

    Kaplan Orgo question - esterification & hydrogen bonding

    From kaplan orgo book Ch.9 practice question, #15 Why would extensive hydrogen bonding of water augment nucleophilic substitution reaction (esterification)? I thought more hydrogen bonding to carboxylic acid would hinder the molecule interfere with the reaction. Thanks!

    Need help understanding degrees of unsaturation

    When I did this problem I counted carbons and hydrogens etc. and used this variant of the formula #C + #N/2 + 1 - #H/2 - #X/2 The answer was 13, and it explained I can count 3 rings + 10 double bonds = 13 degrees of unsaturation. I will be using this method on a question like this, but somehow...

    B's in O-Chem, but chances at top tier?

    Hi everyone! I just took my O-Chem II final and I'm freaking out. Last year, I got a solid B in O-Chem I (I was at a strong B+/A- until the final; I had a panic attack and most likely failed the exam I think).
