Tips for pattern recognition questions

Tip #1: Use your highlighter.

A-level organic Chemistry exam question on the Ritter reaction with its proposed mechanism and structures

Complicated rearrangement of atoms can be followed simply by highlighting the example given.
Do the same for the question you are given and you will be able to predict the reaction product easily!

Tip #2: Number the carbon chain.

This tip is more for those questions with long chains, sometimes with numerous branches. It allows
you to keep track of the number of carbons involved so that you don’t miss out any in your answer.
Especially for those cyclic organic compounds.
