Hhh Hiii!
Le-Buh-Bee, Suh-Noooah!
Efff-Nee!
there's zero reason to make chart like this, it's both barely comprehensible and touching surface level stuff only (where are palladium couplings for one)
Oh wow I was expecting something cryptic, but it's literally like the instructions behind a noodle pack, but for organic chemistry.
Category theorist: hold my beer.
Me: oh it's a reaction scheme, so they start with this and end up with this. I'll assume everything in the middle is correct and they get what I asked them.
Tbf sometimes it's hard even for organic chemists because the authors will just put an abbreviation of a non-standard variation of the name of some named reaction over the reaction arrow and then proceed to draw the product in a completely different conformation from the starting material, leaving you trying to work out which carbon is which in the world's most annoying game of spot-the-difference (or in many cases spot-the-similarity).
