Organic Chemistry - Functional Group Conversions.

Worried that you are given a large molecule and you do not know how to handle the functional group conversions? Have no fear! The solution requires two main points:

  1. Identifying the functional groups on the molecule. Be certain of the reactions that the functional group has.
  2. Identify the types of reactions that the reagent can undergo.
