2009 practice ADA questions

[gamecock1992]

I'm confused about the last two questions on the organic section of the practice ADA test. It won't let me go back to the question so I can't post the problem but the questions are. Which set of starting materials is suited best for the multistep synthesis of the antispasmodic spasmolytol? and another was, Which IUPAC rule for naming of compounds with a neutral skeletal atom that has a nonstandard bonding number is consistent with the pattern in the given examples. can anybody explain either of these who has a home copy of the test or remembers the question? I put for the first one the answer that had two bromines already attached to a benzene, and then add an expoxide and something else. The last question I put that the n standed for how many structures were bonded to the skeletal structure. I know this is vague but any help would be appreciated!

Hah same questions for me as well. It's funny how they threw those random ones on at the end just to screw with you. I think I got the last one correct, but I probably didn't actually understand it.

I would take your picture and specific questions down because you are not allowed to talk about the specifics here. Unfortunate truth.

This was helpful!

And just to be clear, this is a practice test from ada that you can buy (2009 DAT) it's fine to discuss.

Just so you know, this thread is from 2013. They probably don't need help anymore.
