Learn the underlying chemical concepts and logic. Brute force memorization will only fuck you over

Who is that girl and why is she so impressed?
Do you have the source video so I can further analyze this?
Thank you.
Daniel Martinez
She is impressed by the large molecules he is building!
Lucas Edwards
Sauce NAO!
Is she reading the book on terpenoids too?

On paper, synthetic organic chemistry is really cool. There's a beauty to the design of organic compounds, especially ones requiring multi-step syntheses. It's even better when a new mechanism is discovered that compacts a lot of steps to just a couple.
That being said, it's a pain in the ass to manage in the lab. I don't want to be doing an 8 step synthesis, no matter the yield. Catalysis is the way to go, although yes, it does limit the structural complexity of the molecule you wish to design, and you almost always have to cast a wide net in terms of trying out shittons of substrates.
