Sugar is a solid, and we drink it everyday.

You need to oxidize the stuff first to make it water soluble.

You messed up. Besides that, I'm surprised this thread made it past the OP. Don't tell anyone though.

Good job guys

Now, explain the difference between a R1 and R2 reaction please, I left my O Chem book at home.

[Az]

R1 and R2 reaction?

I am not familiar with these names. What's the context?

[Japher]

I think we used it as shorthand for single replacement and double replacement rxns.

[Az]

If you refer to substitution reactions ( nucleophilic ones), then we marked them Sn1, and Sn2. Does the reaction have one group replaced by another on a certain carbon?
