Cpd dimers: Excellent.

Taxol: Those jmol structures are bizarre, what happened? Your energies are all over the place. Nice discussion on hyper-stable alkenes though.

Carbene: Excellent.

Glycosidation: Nice discussion of MM2 vs. MOPAC. You’ve noted the difference in length of C=O bond and a reason why this is, is there anything other potential bonding distance you could measure here?

Taxol Take 2: Nicely done.

Mini-project: Nice choice of molecule and a good discussion of the work. A ‘handwavy argumnet’? Maybe, yes, but is this correct language for a deliverable report? I suspect that in real life, comparison of J values would be the simplest technique to identify between the two. Nice little discussion with the MOs.

Overall: A well written report, shame about the taxol debacle!
