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.

Note that products are shown after neutralization, and neutralization of products is NOT shown here for simplicity. Anhydrides react similarly (and a little slower in general) and have not be explicitly shown in this quiz.

Woops - this is not the reaction I wanted - take me back to the main graphical reactions menu.
