i dunno what it is because we haven't done it in class yet - only aromatic heterocycles and i dont see one there. i think i can see where to start the mechanism though (double bond onto the nitrogen methinks).

i <3 org chem though. this subject is no doubt gonna be the highlight of my uni degree.

 

[lala2]

^^wow are you serious? I hated organic chem, I think because it was so rushed through and you had to remember all these rules. lol, I can't even remember any of them now. I could never tell the difference between aldehydes and ketones though...is aldehydes the carbonyl with a carbon on one side and hydrogen on the other, while ketone is the carbonyl with carbons on both sides?

 

[Ben Netanyahu]

yep

see not that hard.

it's all the same, really - nucleophile attacks electrophile, quench the reaction - next!
at least it's been that way thus far. i probably shouldn't speak too soon, lol

It actually looks really interesting, though I know I'm nowhere near understanding that for a while, lol.


I'm loving chem atm, organic- yay Also am doing biochem in micro, so it's an awesome combination of bio and chem, so much fun

 

[kokodamonkey]

[imsopostmodern]

Reading a paper on information content on graphs. Idea is that we generalise the ideas raised in this paper to genetic regulatory networks to the point where we can properly analyse the e-coli network, and if we can do that we quite probably get published. Love bio stuff.
