  1. There’s just a little different: the last quiz shows ID:1781 on the front but ID:1781 on the back.

    Thank you for showing so many examples.
    That’s really helpful.

  2. Why in the fourth reaction was formed the least substituted enolate? More substituted enolate (and pi bond) wouldn’t be more stable?

    Great site!
