This is literally what I've been doing all along. It works great for the first few chapters, but when you move on and things get more complicated, everything falls apart. The problem I have is that I can think of several reasons why one thing or another should happen in a mechanism. Does the nucleophile attack the carbonyl carbon first? Does the carbonyl oxygen protonate first? Why doesn't the C=O pi bond grab a hydrogen and bind it to the C? I can think of reasons why all of these things might happen, but I've yet to come across a good explanation of why one happens and the others don't. The understanding is helpful, but it still comes down to memorization.

@Leah4sci

5 жыл бұрын

This is why the method includes 'cheating' for the first few attempts. By following along you're not stuck trying to figure it out. Instead you learn from a resource that you copy over and over till you get it. (this is for the memorization aspect. for the question of why you should look up or ask to ensure you understand every step of the mechanism)

@Kishoreragi

3 жыл бұрын

You should know inductive effect, conjugation, and other effects to know if any electron density changing on the atom you are trying to connect/disconnect, and also bond strengths and angles, electron affinity, electro negativity of the participating atoms in the molecule. I suggest you to memorize 3 standard values of any property mentioned and try to stock other things while earning into the gaps, so that you can know the approximate values. I say that you don't need to remember exact values but you should know which must have lower/higher than the other. You should develop the ability to compare.

That's amazing and it's the best idea to understand the mechanism
