Draw some hexagons
Panic when you see non hexagonal cycles
Panic when you see epoxides
Panic in general
lets go

what are the most common labs I am expected to perform in an intro to ocehm lab?

First you learn some techniques: tlc, column chromatography, acid/base extraction, distillation.

Then you carry out whatever reactions your instructor likes/picks from a lab manual someone else forced on them/found in J. Chem. Educ./the stockroom has materials for/the department can afford and has equipment for.

I forgot recrystallization, for shame

RIP if you do organic synthesis in grad school.

theres nothing scary about heterocyclics, faggot

will form epoxides

good lord, did someone really waste that many reagents for something so useless

obviously i know that know. fuck the only way I learned was using RCO3H and NaOH

but that includes mCPBA

Yeah, I didn't know that.

in short...

-too much competition in academia
-too much competition for jobs
-too much work in grad school
-i hope you like working with white/yellow/brown substances for the rest of your life
-little to no quantitative knowledge (math, physics, etc)
-employers will fuck and chuck you once they use you for their project / your salary gets too high so they just hire another one of the army of PhDs in line behind you for less.

chemistry is just a bad field to be in right now.

Here's a neat paper that came out today in JACS. It's got some neat mechanistic work with implications for radical chemistry, especially radical chemistry.
