The O-Chem Final..yikes! |
| Now I sit me down to take this O-chem test, my brain to break. I know I studied hard and true, But I can't help wishing for the flu. It would be better being ill, Than to write reactions of the carbonyl. So here I sit, I think and fester. Is that a ketone or an ester? Oh, help me, Lord, I don't know the Claisen, It's almost worse than a firing squad facin'. I squirm and sweat and start to freak, How I wish I was a chem science geek! I hear the clock, it's ticking, ticking, ticking, Minutes passing, it's time to be panicking! Scribble and scratch, oh no! Erase! I hang my head and rub my face. I just can't get this pesky structure! At this rate, I'll need acupuncture. Is that an acid or a base? I have electrons pushing all over the place! Do I rip off a hydrogen? Or protonate? Is that acetic acid or an acetate? So many things, I'm so confused! In four hours, I'm gonna be boozed! |
