organic chem
not a specific question doubt but a rather general one. to master organic chemistry do i need to know every reaction mechanism on tips ??
its pretty much impossible to remember mechanism of every reaction . for example hydroboration oxidation has a pretty long mechanism but crux is H (or D) from BH3 (or BD3) on more hindered carbon and oh (or od) on the other .
same goes for hydrolysis of ester , having two diff mechanism for acid and base catalysed
i do understand that reactions like pinacol pinacolone rearrangement have to be done by mix of logic and mechanism
