Reading-Lecture 26
Please note that the reading and practice problems for Friday's lecture (Reversible nucleophilic addition to carbonyls) were accidentally switched around with a later lecture in the Unit 4 overview (found under "Syllabus and lecture notes" and then "Other useful course documents"). I have uploaded a new version with all of the remaining lecture reading and problems in the correct order. If you already did this reading, don't worry, you're just ready for lecture 27! See you all in class on Friday.Announced on 14 November 2018 1:21 p.m. by Christina Z. Rotsides
