Prof. Lievens Weebly - practice problems/exams
These handouts contain a subset of end-of-chapter problems from the 8th edition (same problems as in the 6th and 7th editions, but some are numbered differently - see this 118C HW List). They (mostly) match the suggested HW problems from Nasiri and Lievens, but I tried to pick around 10 from each chapter. You will need the solutions manual to check your answers, a used copy of whichever edition you'd like (6th, 7th or 8th) will be just fine.
Ch 20 Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Ch 25: 35 (basicity), 36 (aro), 37 (Paal-Knorr), 39 (EArS), 41 (review), 47, 62-64 (mult choice); random hard mechanisms: 44, 46, 52, 53
