Should we know all the reactions by name, or just know what they do and now worry about what they are called? Example: would there be a test question that says "What would be the products if a jones reagent were to be used on ethanol," or "What would be the expected products of the Gabriel synthesis." I know what all these things do if I see the reaction, I just don't know them by name...
Also, is nomenclature huge on the exam? Like if you are sloppy at it will you miss about every question because you don't know what structures they are talking about? Or do they give the structures most of the time (Kaplan blue book uses mostly structures on their exams...).
Thanks.
