Alright Guys Most of us are subscribers to Chads videos. He is an awesome teacher and explains alot of material in a short time span. However it is possible that he left out a few reactions and concepts in Organic and Gen Chem. Today someone said Chad forgot the Baeyer villiger reaction and is 100% correct. After flipping through my orgo textbook I also noticed Chad did not talk about the Birch Reduction reaction. So I propose lets make a list of reactions/concepts that Chad forgot and reactions you think/heard of which could be on the DAT. With this idea we could narrow down the topics by looking them up and studying them to make life easier. SO LETS DO THIS!!


1. Baeyer Villiger
2. Birch Reduction reaction

What are these reactions? Lol, I never heard of them during my ochem classes. Imo, Chad teaches you what you need to know for the DAT. He might miss a few obscure topics, but I don't think reactions like these will show up on the DAT. I would think they would test you on key concepts, like ranking acid/bases and SN2/E2 like questions.

In the past year I haven't ever seen a single post where someone said they got slaughtered on a question that he didn't cover, that being said I am sure he would be grateful for the feedback as he is redoing the videos again, so post away.

Yea Chad is an awesome teacher and i have learned ALOT from his lectures. However lets say someone got slaughtered on a question they didn't know and didn't recognize, how would they create a post knowing what it was about? It would be difficult to explain in a post if you didn't know what you were looking at. The point of this thread is to make obscure topics which could show up on the DAT less obscure and more recognizable.

exactly my point! The point of this thread is just to make topics not included in Chads videos less obscure and more recognizable. When I wikipedied both of them, they are actually very simple to understand. Btw both of these reactions were covered in my Orgo II class.

I think you're gonna run into problems with the likelihood of it being tested.

here's what they list the topics the questions can be on. last page.

http://ada.org/sections/educationAndCareers/pdfs/dat_users_manual.pdf

McMurry Organic Chemistry doesn't show either reaction and its one of the reference texts used.

Von Baeyer is mentioned just once in the entire book and its 1 sentence, plus a short blurb about him. Birch not once.

Of Named reaction they list a total of 4 which they may test you on. Those are Witting, Grignard, diels-alder, and aldol reaction.

Granted it can still show up under the heading of "function group conversions."

IMO unless you have everything chad,kaplan,destroyer talks about down and know it forwards, backwards, upside down and any other way, I think your time is better spent focusing on the those then trying to list random stuff.

From my test, not one question was something I didn't see before at least for O chem and general chem. Bio is a whole different beast.

He totally forgot these clutch ochm reactions from 1st semester ochm:

Hooker reaction
Julia-Lythgoe olefination
Wacker-Tsuji oxidation
Balz-Schiemann reaction

I had all of these on my DAT version because I left the test center thinking, "Hooker Julia Wacker Balz".
