These problems are organized by chapter number, with the lowest chapter number first (the references will give you a hint as to whether you have learned about a reaction yet, and provide you a source of information if you don't understand). You cannot put the answer into the computer yourself, so keep paper and pencil handy. After you have proposed a compound, click with the left mouse button on the simulated button that says "Answer" to see if you are right or not. In most cases only the alcohol and reagent are shown and you must select a non-alcohol starting material or product. In the computer solutions to the problems, only the largest organic product is shown.
Woops - this is not what I wanted - take me back to the main reaction quizzes and summaries menu.
Be sure to review the reactions of alkenes first. Products should be selected, and answers are shown, for one mole of reagent; in general, the reaction of two moles of reagent can readily be predicted from the reactions of alkenes. Synthesis of dienes can be predicted from the synthetic methods used for alkenes.
