Kaplan doesn't mention anything about Oxymercuration-Reduction of Alkenes/Alkynes....Also, what about the Diels-Alder rxn? ..

Should we know these? WHy would Kaplan skip them?

Yes and yes. These are fundamental reactions-and could be likely questions.

I figured! Why isn't in Kaplan though... I would have totally forgot to study this if I wasn't reminded about them

People always say that Kaplan is enough for orgo and chem, but if I go by that... its missing stuff.

I just don't know how to study anymore. I could go back to my orgo notes, but those cover most of the book... should I therefore just read all my textbooks again.. LOL

I've never heard of oxy mercury clean or whatever...and don't ever remember a diels alder rxn...and i got a 26 in ochem...Kaplan is more than fine.

I think so too. I guess i just learned those for the hell of it, but I think Kaplan actually does a nice job!
