Be advised that material covered last week was a bit more advanced and is quite important. Please download the presentation slides titled "Carbonyl Compound Extended learning" from Raffles connect.<br /><br />Its also important you learn the approach to writing mechanisms, so make use of the imine and enamine formation mechanisms, as well as ester formation/hydrolysis mechanism for good practice.<br /><br />By the way, ester formation (and reactions involving carboxylic acid derivatives) mostly involve nucleophilic acyl substitution.<br /><br />The section on enolates is particularly important.<br /><br />Since I taught quite a bit more material than just what is in the presentation slides, I strongly advise you to read up on those topics covered.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8668080599914987388-1759070272990194951?l=rjcchemo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wtyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12220592393447426145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668080599914987388.post-22738148821433313202008-07-23T11:15:00.000-07:002008-07-23T11:43:49.360-07:00Hi all!<br /><br />I just got back from the 40th IChO held in Budapest.<br /><br />It was a blast, really fun, and I'll share with you all during the Chem O training.<br /><br />I also bring good news (I guess most of you know it already)<br /><br />Singapore scored 1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronzes during the IChO.<br /><br />The gold and silver comes from RJC. (bronzes from NUS high)<br /><br />Gold - Yeong Li Qian<br />He also topped the theory paper (beating the russians, PRCs, koreans etc etc!!!) and is ranked overall world number 2 for this IChO<br /><br />Silver - Wang Yong Jin<br />Ranked overall no 41. nearly gold since that starts at rank 30.<br /><br />You can check the actual results (along with percentage scores up to 4 dps!!) for them at<br /><a href="http://www.icho.hu/Files/40thIChO_list.pdf">http://www.icho.hu/Files/40thIChO_list.pdf</a><br /><br />and also download all the tasks, questions, answers, and publications at<br /><a href="http://www.icho.hu/">www.icho.hu</a><br /><br /><br />Well done RJC!<br /><br />In the meantime here's some admin:<br /><br />1) If you don't already know, I've uploaded the notes to week 4 (just before I left on 11 July)<br />2) I will upload the notes for this week by today.

Please go download for your use.<br /><br />The original powerpoint file is just way to big to be uploaded and downloaded easily, so I've done the following:<br /><br />1) Separate the presentation into parts<br />2) Convert the presentation into Flash format.<br /><br />To view the slides, simply click on the links to open the presentation.<br /><br />You can also save and download the .swf (flash) file onto your own computer, and at your convenience open it later on using your webbrowser, like Internet Explorer or Firefox.<br /><br />Your web browser must have the Flash plug-in installed (its from Adobe - Macromedia)<br />When opening the file, the web browser may warn you about active X controls and stop opening the file, you should click on the options to proceed with opening the file.<br /><br />MO Theory materials, as well as all the briefing materials are now on Raffles Connect.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8668080599914987388-2334613844644757031?l=rjcchemo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wtyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12220592393447426145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668080599914987388.post-57195620178494472142008-07-02T09:12:00.000-07:002008-07-02T09:23:28.419-07:00Welcome to RJC Chem Olympiad Training!<br /><br />Remember to check raffles connect for your materials.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8668080599914987388-5719562017849447214?l=rjcchemo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wtyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12220592393447426145noreply@blogger.com0
