Organic Chemistry Lab 3D

Organic Chemistry Lab — Learn in 3D Organic chemistry is three-dimensional, and a flat page cannot show you why. Why a hydrogen has to be anti-periplanar before it will eliminate. Why a carbocation loses all memory of which face the leaving group was on. Which of two mirror images you are actually looking at. So turn the molecule instead. FOUR INSTRUMENTS • Conformation Lab — drag a bond and watch the Newman projection turn with it while the energy curve follows. See butane's gauche cost appear as steric strain while the torsional part stays flat. Analyse a cyclohexane chair, find the axial groups, and watch the ring flip decide which chair wins. • Chirality Lab — commit to R or S before the priorities are shown, then turn the model to check yourself. Put a molecule beside its mirror image and try, with your own fingers, to superimpose them. • Reaction Bench — set the substrate, the…
