jOeCHEMists, I know I said it before, but NOW the real fun begins. Up until this point we've been filling our organic toolbox full of skills, and it's time we put our foot on the gas. It's time to learn reactions. It's time to learn mechanisms. It's time to learn how to design organic syntheses and solve synthesis problems. And we start this new chapter of our journey with alcohols. In this series, we're going to learn how to oxidize & reduce alcohols as well as how to perform Sn2 on them (even though alcohols aren't great leaving groups). But, most importantly, we'll learn the Grignard Reaction--marking a huge moment in our organic careers. The Grignard Reaction allows us to make carbon-carbon connections, and that will lead us straight into tackling our first synthesis problem. There's a lot of fun to be had in this section, gang. Let's get it.
