Specifically, could ANYONE try and explain the hoffman rearrangement mechanism to me?

What chapter of Orgo are you on?

wow, it's been a long time since I studies that....I can't remember, good luck!

Haha THANKS I'll need it. It really isn't a chapter, it's for my lab and we just go by experiments.

Yuck! :pukey I hated O-chem. :nutts

Here is something that might help. I make no promises.

also if you google organic chemistry there are some help sites. :thinking

Good luck none the less! :cheer

Nerds unite! :wise:nerd

I have no idea (sorry) but I just signed up for a summer session of General Chem. I am scared out of my mind. But, committed to it, as I finally made the decision to go pre-med.
