I wanna be jedi knight so freaking bad
Make cuddling Volhardt a Bruin fad
I wanna be on the cover of Daily Bruin
Smiling next to Garg and his team
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Synthesizing molecules all night
I swear, UCLA betta prepare
For When I’m a jedi knight
Yeah I would spit o-chem like Neil Garg
Make inversion of stereochem SN2’s business
With no steric hindrance
Like when an SN1 thinks tertiary carbons are the sh**t
Or about the proton with the least substituted carbon fit
And how the boron and the least substituted carbon kiss
And talk about the benzene that won’t react catalyst-less
Substitute that benzene once with an activator
And double that to give you an ortho/para
Attack backside the epoxide to give anti-diols
Or mate alkene with OsO4 o give syn-diols
Don’t forget about the alkynes and its hydrogenation
Giving you carbonyls through tautomerization
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Synthesizing molecules all night
I swear, UCLA betta prepare
For When I’m a jedi knight
I’ll be using bromine as the reagent
Doing a bromination
Then I’ll go through a bromonium ion and get anti stereochem
Break a (few) epoxides in acid or base states
But let the (nucs) attack at a different position
And yeah, in acid you attack the more substituted
Need an attacking C, let Grignard take a crack at it
I’ll take alkenes in ozonolysis and just split ‘em up
So everybody in the lab can have (some) carbonyls
And don’t forget about sodium hydride that would deprotonate
Making ethers, wanting to hide
I know we have another favorite reaction
Go get dienes and dienophiles
And put ‘em all together and sing
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Synthesizing molecules all night
I swear, UCLA betta prepare
For When I’m a jedi knight.. �
