Talk:Mod:Skilganon2

Taxol: Your alkene geometries are incorrect and neither structure is truly minimised. Are there any, perhaps six-membered, components of the structure that you think could be in a lower energy conformation?

Carbene: Your overlaid structures link is broken. Just because an IR frequency is intense does not mean it’s interesting, relevant or useful to the analysis you should be conducting. I don’t think a particular IR frequency can cause a reaction to take place. Very little appropriate analysis here.

Glycosidation: Why and how do the MM2 and MOPAC calculations differ? What is the fundamental difference between these methods?

Taxol Take 2: What a lot of decimal points. Poor analysis.

Mini-project: That is not a very good choice of molecule, it has far too much freedom of movement, it will be very difficult to find the lowest energy conformation. Look at all those decimal points, mostly zeroes. I don’t understand what you mean by ‘anomaly’. Do you really think that the addition of contaminants to the literature compound will cause there to be fewer NMR peaks?

Overall: Poorly conducted analyses and a lack of apparent effort really let you down.
