Lyrics:
Well, it's been said Orgo is a difficult class,
but I'm here to reduce those myths into
something more substantial.
So why don't you put on your
diamond-studded lab goggles
and enter...
A Havemeyer State of Mind
Headin' up to NoCo,
Fresh outta Hav'meyer
Ridin' on a lion
Been under that hood forever!
I'm the new Markovnikov.
Hyperconjugation dear,
I can't make it anywhere -
For Carbocats need my peeps near.
I used to like it primary
All of my substitu-homies
bound the BH3-way
Acted like they didn't know me!
or whipping cyclopropane,
Zn(Cu) Iodide,
Catch me in the lab with Simmons-Smith'in on the side
Just got my exam back
Didn't do my best-us
Lost a lot of points
Cause all my carbons is from Texas
Chair formation - 309
Home of my boy Luis
Writing on his blackboard
showing those reactions to me.
Quit pumpin' acetylides
it's time to get wise
Base sitting courtside,
til LGs give me high Pi's
Girl, when she attack that,
get alkene from a carbo-kitty
...tell by my solvent that it's E1 MOST DEFINITELY
Orgooooooo!!!!!
They say that this class will destroy you -
those problems you can't doooooo
But now you're in ORRGOOOOOO
Synthesize yourself brand new
Campos will inspire youuuuuu
Let's hear it for orgo, orgo, orgooooo
Solvent cage is binding,
Cations need blinders
So nucs can step out of bounds quick,
attack behinders, alkyl halide casualty
It switches chirality, opposing "enantiomers"
appear as the halide leaves.
Got a free radical,
THINGS GET MAGICAL
You know "liberty for all"? Yeah, it ain't hypothetical
When I stagger in, don't e-clipse my vision
good bromines gone bad, my solution's filled with them.
Split two halogens, got myself initiation
Propogation, Termination - I'm in a halogen-Nation!
After that quiz, I'm feelin' reduced like an alkyne
Sippin on Pd catalyst like a coffee, BAM its class time
Like that damn Lindlar blocking alkene to alkane
instead I've got these molecules poisoning my brain
If mCPBA got you bindin some epoxides
Dump on the strong acid to split into (trans!) hydroxides
Orgooooooo!!!!!
They say that this class will destroy you -
those problems you can't doooooo
But now you're in ORRGOOOOOO
Synthesizing things brand new
Campos will inspire youuuuuu
Let's hear it for orgo, orgo, orgooooo
One chlorine in the air, chair sittin'
H next door, axi-all lookin' pretty
no conformation in the world (my peri-planet) that can compare
PUT YOUR HALIDE INTHE AIIRR, EVERYBODY SAY YEAHHHHHHH
For orgooooooo!!!!!
They say that this class will destroy you -
those problems you can't doooooo
But now you're in ORRGOOOOOO
Synthesize yourself brand new
Campos will inspire youuuuuu
Let's hear it for orgo, orgo, (East Coast, West Side, Columbia, Campos, 3443, we love Emma, Dan, Alex!) orgooooo.......
