Week 8 Problem Set - NO ASSIGNED QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK
ANNOUNCEMENT: FINAL EXAM ROOM ASSIGNMENTS!
Final Exam Question Policy:
In fairness to the whole class, I will not discuss during my office hours what will be covered on the exam or what you should expect to be on the exam or any other probing questions that would give an individual an unfair advantage over his fellow classmates. If you have a question, submit it by June 1 so that I can post the answer for all to see.

1. Based on your TLC result in the aldol experiment, rank the below compounds in increasing order of polarity.
benzil, dibenzyl ketone and tetraphenylcyclopentadienone
2. Explain why benzil is more or less polar than dibenzyl ketone.
