Same bat crap, same crappy channel

Well this week ended in a fiasco with an execrable o-chem quiz. So I studied for about 8 hours for this quiz, but was caught with my pants down on the ol' nomenclature again. I WILL LEARN NOMENCLATURE. Then there was a tricky alkyl halide substitution on a vynilic cyclo alkene. Well, dear readers, I know that a halide cannot react on an SP2 hybridized carbon, but Darn it all to heck, I FORGOT. Then there was the tricky subtle tautomerization of the enol to a ketone which I would have forgotten about, but I made my mistake further upstream. GO GEORGE. I hope that this was the bad quiz for the term, since I can't exacltly affort to chuck points out the window.
