Funny post. I actually found organic chemistry the most boring of the chemistry courses I took. As a chemistry major, inorganic, p-Chem, and analytical were far more interesting.
The class was taught at 745 in a northern tier state where it was dark and cold to get up for the latter half of the first semester and beginning half of the second semester. Awful through and through.
The only one of the entire class I enjoyed was the class was offered in a large auditorium with tables instead of chairs with individual desks The tables were long and ran the entire length of the lecture hall punctuated only by the two aisles of stairs.
When the professor instructed the part on enantiomeres, he made a stick model of a molecule and held a large mirror behind it so one could appreciate both conformations. When he did this ir provided a quick and free study in what was on sale ar Victoria’s Secret for those women wearing skirts to class.
I never did forget conformational chemistry after this. Nor the name of the woman who sat next to me….although after that particular lecture. she stopped wearing shirt skirts to class. Quite a loss for many of us.
