CHEM 2323 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Markovnikov'S Rule, Stereochemistry, Stereospecificity
Document Summary
They help to reinforce what is happening in each step, and help to make sure you don"t forget anything miniscule. You might be able to pull of some partial credit by just knowing these. Also, many reactions use specific reagents, such as hg(oac)2 or ozone. Remember what specific reagents goes with what reaction: stereochemistry/regiochemistry: if present, both stereochemistry and regiochemistry are probably the most important parts of the reaction. Stereochemistry dictates where the location in space on where the reagent will attach, while regiochemistry dictates essentially which carbon of the double bond that the reagent will attach to. For the stereochemistry, if it isn"t originally specified and reaction is stereospecific, pick a stereochemistry and stick with it. You must specify stereochemistry: other important things: there are some other important factors that i will try to emphasize that don"t fit in any other category. I will also try to re-emphasize other important factors already mentioned that you should know.
