>I'm a future doctor taking organic next year. Tell me how to get a good grade!
Just make sure you memorize everything. Don't bother trying to understand the concepts, that's a waste of time and meant for actual chemistry students who'll need it later on. It's a lot easier if you just brute force your way through it and memorize all the mechanisms.

>I'm a pissant undergrad, how do I into synthesis research?
Go walk up to a professor and tell them you want to work in their lab. Most are glad to take on a new student, provided you aren't completely retarded - you're basically free labor. Note that if your school has a lot of future doctors then you might have to compete with them on grades, some of them might also be bumming the prof so they could pad up their applications. Also, note that if you're at a big fancy school you're gonna need good grades regardless bud

redpill me on doing the birch reduction in your bathroom, how retarded is it on a 1-10 scale? what if the person who does it opens the window?

sounds pretty fucking retarded. you should do it and also record it so we get some nice instructional footage

Barely legal newfag who's looking to crack plastics in his HS lab(chemistry teachers like me and have all but confirmed they would let me do it if given a decent write-up). The temperatures are not an issue(hotplates just barely being able to make it to 550ºC though I'll have to give up hopes of calcining some catalysts with that limitation) though it's that damned Helium gas that's the issue. Any retarded solutions that I'm missing because retarded?
