This IS NOT a problem set to be turned in.  These problems are for your personal practice with these concepts as you prepare for the final exam.  It is especially important that you get any misunderstandings worked out ASAP so you can do your best on the final!

Reading:

Brown and Poon, Chapter 13 (Sections 13.1-13.5 and 13.7-13.11.  That is, ignore 13.6 on Grignard Reagents).

Chapter 15 (Sections 15.1-15.7, 15.9.  Ignore 15.8 on Grignard Reagents)

Chapter 16 (Read all of it!)

Problems:  (all problems are at the END of the above chapters.  None of these are labeled "practice problems.").  PLEASE remember to come to me to ask questions!  I am here to help!
