    there’s zero reason to make chart like this, it’s both barely comprehensible and touching surface level stuff only (where are palladium couplings for one)

      I agree - it’s so busy that trying to learn from that just will lead to more confusion. The only thing this is good for is for showing the variety of organic chemistry, and it doesn’t even do a good job at it.

    omg i’m getting flashbacks from my org chem course. The exam regulary failed about 2/3 of students, i needed 3 attempts to pass, and i studied like stupid for it (the second attempt was sooo close to a passing grade, i was really annoyed at that).

      Thermal Physics was it for me. I aced every other module, but that one I had to take twice. I still have no idea what thermal physics is, and at this point I don’t want to know.

  Oh wow I was expecting something cryptic, but it’s literally like the instructions behind a noodle pack, but for organic chemistry.

  Tbf sometimes it’s hard even for organic chemists because the authors will just put an abbreviation of a non-standard variation of the name of some named reaction over the reaction arrow and then proceed to draw the product in a completely different conformation from the starting material, leaving you trying to work out which carbon is which in the world’s most annoying game of spot-the-difference (or in many cases spot-the-similarity).

  Me: oh it’s a reaction scheme, so they start with this and end up with this. I’ll assume everything in the middle is correct and they get what I asked them.
