hey guys regarding the ochem reagents, what are some obscure reagents that can be drawn into structures? What i mean is like MCPBA, NBS, etc. Got my DAT in a week, and just nitpicking certain things i should relook up

thanks

MCBPA is just a peracid (multiple Os in a row). LDA is a bulky base. Lindlar's stops reduction of alkynes at alkenes (cis).

But honestly, you will not have to know the structures of random reagents. Just know what they do. I just took my DAT a couple days ago. Nothing obscure in OC!
