Engage with a Chemistry Expert from West Chester University for Interactive Learning Journeys.

Robert assisted Mary-Walter with a challenging organic chemistry homework assignment, focusing on multi-step synthesis problems, SN1/SN2/E1/E2 reactions, Diels-Alder reactions, and the strategic use of various reagents. They analyzed complex reaction mechanisms and discussed the importance of considering factors like steric hindrance and protecting groups. They scheduled follow-up sessions to continue preparing for the upcoming exam.

Robert and a student from Green Hope High School in Cary reviewed mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy, focusing on identifying functional groups and interpreting spectra. They also worked through quiz problems involving reaction mechanisms, including catalytic hydrogenation, anti-dihydroxylation, epoxide formation, and oxidative cleavage of alkenes and alkynes. The learner is to review reaction mechanisms from chapters 8, 9, 12, and 13 and will schedule the next lesson for the week of September 19th.

Robert and Mary-Walter collaborated on a challenging problem set in organic synthesis, delving into various reactions such as bromination, elimination, nucleophilic substitution, and radical reactions. Mary-Walter noted specific questions regarding NBS usage and stereochemistry that she intends to discuss with her professor. They arranged a follow-up lesson for the following day to continue their work and also planned a weekend meeting to prepare for their upcoming organic chemistry exam.

Robert assisted Mary-Walter with her organic chemistry studies, specifically focusing on using IR, carbon NMR, and proton NMR spectroscopy to identify unknown compounds. During their lesson, they collaboratively worked through several practice problems, analyzing spectra and predicting molecular structures. Mary-Walter plans to ask her professor for clarification on some confusing spectra and intends to continue practicing skill-builder problems for additional review.

Robert and Mary-Walter delved into NMR spectroscopy problems, honing their skills in determining signal numbers, chemical shifts, integration, and multiplicity. During their organic chemistry lesson, they focused on identifying molecular symmetry, predicting chemical shifts based on functional groups, and utilizing integration values to ascertain proton counts. They are set to continue their practice with NMR problems in their upcoming lesson.

During a recent organic chemistry lesson, Robert helped Shae identify functional groups using IR spectroscopy and rank alkene stability. Shae tackled practice problems from Chapter 12, with Robert supplementing her understanding with explanations and examples from his textbook. For their upcoming lesson, Shae will review the chapter summary and prepare flashcards for reactions and functional groups.
