hmm, that's not an easy task jang :) one thing I want to find out is whether I would've gotten a UNSW offer or not. I guess that won't ever be answered.

well, to become a clinician scientist as opposed to strictly a practitioner. Research ranging from anything immunology related to anything to do with onco.

Yeh, I put Usyd med ahead of UNSW medicine. Possibly one of only a handful of people. But hey, I've got a different dream I want to carry out.

yes only 10 people

depends what ed of Mcmurry you've got. I've got the full 5th edition. Its in chapter 11, page413 roughly.

if its E1, then there needs to be a tertiary (possibly benzyl or allyl) carbon in order for the carbocation to be inductively stabilised. Theres no such carbon in ethanol, which only contains primary carbons. Thus E2 must be the mechanism here. It's not a terribly great example of E1 (think...

ok, I'd say E2 because we're dealing with a primary alcohol, and carbocations are stabilised mostly by the polarizable alkyl groups of a tertiary substrate. In terms of the steps, well E2 is the elimination analogue of Sn2, and E1 is the elimination analogue of Sn1. For E1, the leaving group...
