Abstract

This puzzle is designed to test the ability of students to remember named organic reactions and reagents. An undergraduate student who is successful in organic chemistry at the sophomore level is expected to solve the puzzle while also having fun. A portion of the puzzle is intended for the more advanced level. This in-class or at-home activity can also be used as a test because students are expected to remember the synthetic purposes and mechanisms of the named organic reactions and reagents.
