Chapter 9

16, 18, 20, 22 - 27, 29, 31 - 33 (in answering # 25 and #26, also include reaction with R2BH followed by H2O2/OH-)

Add all new reactions to your flash cards, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 10

20, 21, 23 - 26, 31 - 39

Add all new reactions to your flash cards, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 11

30, 32, 35, 36, 41 - 48

Chapter 12

22 - 36, 44, 45

Add all new reactions to your flash cards, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 14

18 -24, 29, 30, 35

Add all new reactions to your flash cards, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 15

17 - 21, 23 - 29, 38, 42 - 44

Add all new reactions to your flash cards, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 16

23 - 25, 26 (except part j), 29, 31, 32, 34, 37, 38

Add all new reactions to your flash cards and reaction catalogs, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 17

20 (but don't bother naming them), 23 - 25, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 42, 43, 45 - 49

Add all of the many new reactions to your flash cards and reaction catalogs, and make sure you can write step-by-step mechanisms for all reactions for which we gave mechanisms in class.

Chapter 18

20, 23, 25, 26, 29, 31 - 33, 36, 39

Here are some extra problems involving some of the reactions discussed in this chapter.

Don't look at the answers until you have worked hard on the problems.

Chapters 19 and 20

19.15 - 17, 19.19, 19.20, 19.22, 19.23, 19.33, 19.34, 20.26 -28, 20.35, 20.36, 20.41, 20.42

Problem 20.28 is misstated. Use toluene as the source of your benzene ring, not of all the carbons; several of the products contain extra carbons that cannot readily be derived from toluene.

Here are a few extra problems.

Chapter 21

15 - 19, 22, 23, 25
