Summary
| Slot | Time | Duration | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM | 4.5 hrs | Unit 07 - All 10 Reactions |
| Lunch | 12:30 - 1:30 PM | 1 hr | Break |
| Slot 2 | 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM | 4 hrs | Unit 08 + Unit 09 |
| Evening | 5:30 - 6:30 PM | 1 hr | Break |
| Slot 3 | 6:30 PM - 11:55 PM | 5.5 hrs | Unit 10 + Full Revision + Self-Test |
- Keep a blank sheet nearby and draw every mechanism by hand - muscle memory beats reading
- Cluster similar rearrangements together mentally (Wolff in Unit 07 links directly to Wolff in Unit 09 - same carbene intermediate)
- Hofmann + Beckmann + Curtius are all "nitrogen rearrangements" - group them in your mind
- Favorskii + Wittig are both carbanion-driven - note the difference in driving force
