February 1 For the key to the January 25th in class pop quiz on material from CEM 850: Click Here (PDF)
February 18
The old exams with sections highlighted that are from lecture, my classics talk, or CEM 850 are available here (PDF).  Saturday's exam will draw more from lecture than my classics talk and CEM 850 topics unrelated to what has been discussed in lecture.  However, the need for basic knowledge from CEM 850 and chemistry I made a point to highlight during my classics talk may find their way onto the exam.  That said, don't spend an over abundance of time studying the Evan chiral auxilary chemistry in great detail. 
February 18 A nice concise paper on outer sphere hydrogenation mechanisms is available here (PDF)
