I’m taking Orgo 1 next semester after finishing genchem, and this is a really helpful recap. There are also a couple things in here that I’ve had trouble remembering, but you helped make it stick (anions are negatively charged bc they have an extra n). This is great and I’ll be using this a lot, thanks!

”So in a nutshell: conformations can interconvert, but configurations can’t be interconverted without breaking off body parts and moving them around.”
You say configuration can’t inter convert, does it constitutional isomers or configurational isomers…..

Your explanation on cats’ conformations is wonderful. I never had thought on these ideas
correlated to polymer molecules. I loved your ideas.

“Constitutional isocats”
This post should come with a health warning. But I do believe I’ll stop laughing in a couple of months or so!
