Practice Problem: Drawing Substitution and Elimination Products (SN1/SN2/E1/E2)
I know you guys are dying for more practice choosing between SN1/SN2/E1/E2 mechanisms, so hopefully this one helps a little. Make sure to look at all the factors we talked about in my tutorial on this topic!

Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature Examples
Let's name these bad boys! Watch tutorials 1 through 5 on the organic chemistry playlist if you need a refresher of the rules.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature and Stereochemistry
For this one we will have to be able to interpret IUPAC nomenclature to draw molecular structure, including absolute configuration using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention.

Practice Problem: Assigning Molecular Structure From an NMR Spectrum
For this one we need to be able to interpret NMR data in order to arrive at the correct molecular structure based on an empirical formula. It's not as hard as it sounds!
