Organic Chemistry Question

['Hamas' Jenkins]

This one has me totally vexed. Any help you could offer on where to put the arrows would be greatly appreciated.




It looks like it's already done. I'm not sure if I should approach it as conjugated pi bonds or not.

god damn dude.

ambition has no place here.

You should have asked me 35 years ago. I used to know this shit, but I went Civil Engineering and haven't used it since.

Go ahead, ask me the last time in my career that I had to use integration to figure out the maximum length of a ladder that could navigate a 90 degree bend with in a 4' wide corridor.

Go ahead, ask me the last time in my career I had to rotate a solid.

Go ahead, make my day.

Actually it will, if you get a high paying career, Mercedes, 3000 SQFT McMansion= pussy.

Crap, I've never heard of a nuclear pharmacist before. Had to Wiki it. It is a whole entire industry.

With the Boomers all aging and dying the next 20 years, medicine is a great career field. Decent pay and job security, for at least while the Boomers are dying. Then the nice thing is, all the Boomers in health care will die off to, leaving a nice backlog of vacancy for the next generation of health care workers.

And this all outpaces inflation.

Good career choice. Never heard of nuclear pharmacy. You learn something new every day.

I would only hope that it is low risk. Some of these "safe" nuclear related occupation expose employees to a lot more nuclear radiation than they think or than it should. Oh, everything is Fed OSHA compliant, & etc., etc. Just, the medical industry lobbies Fed OSHA too.

A lot of my scholarship in grad school focused on the excesses of the enrichment process as part of weaponization of nuclear materials. At this point, I've gravitated towards the Peaceful Atom.

There are dozens of horror stories. Du Pont buried plutonium in cardboard boxes near the Savannah River plant; tons of workers end up with polycythemia vera (the opposite of anemia); small towns in Utah were irradiated en masse, suffering much higher rates of childhood cancers and so on.

All of my work would be behind shields of lead, titanium, or tungsten, with leaded glass gloves. Comparatively safe.

Good to hear it. You hope the government is a bit more aggressive these days in ensuring safety compliance for workers in nuclear fields, but companies will always strive to reduce costs, even at the expense of employee safety.

Peaceful atoms, warlike atoms. They are all good!

Always pick B in a multiple choice test.

I did that on the mathematics portion of the GRE. Picked B for every answer & didn't even try to think about a single question. That didn't work out well. I landed in something like the 09th percentile.

When/where are you hoping to go to Pharmacy school? If UMKC, PM me. I know alot of people there if you need anything.

Same. I'm not THAT far removed from it, but I have crowded out the fundamentals of organic with basic science and clinical shit that doesn't require much OChem knowledge.

You're good - Nice work.

You seem like a good person to me.
