jOeCHEMists, I think you're going to find this section as a breath of fresh air. As we exit the land of carboxlyic acids, we find ourselves tasked with learning chemistry associated with esters, acid halides, acid anhydrides, and amides. But, after spending lots of quality time with carboxylic acids, you're going to see an insane amount of similarity in the reactions we're about to do. When you nail down the addition-elimination mechanism, you're going to realize this series is basically that over and over again (with some exceptions, of course).
