For the DAT is it important to know the names of certain reaction? Like Clemmensen or Wolff-Kishner? Or just knowing what happens is more important?

Both. You'd hate to get a question that asks what you to perform a Dieckmann condensation on X molecule and not know what that means.

Yes indeed,,,,,knowing the names of the " Big " reactions.....such as Wittig, Grignard, Aldol, Diels Alder, Claisen, Haloform,, Dieckmann, Hofmann,Friedel Crafts, Clemmensen, Wolfe Kishner etc. If Destroyer named it....KNOW IT. Also make sure that you are solid on the reaction itself of course !!!!! Anything is fair game.......Keep up the great work.

Hope this helps.
