    Looks like you're doing S104 :rolleyes: - check out pg 210 of book 4 for all the functional groups. That should get you started in the right direction.

    ... and for the products, check out page 231 and using the example shown at the top, you can work out your products. It even will tell you what type of reaction has occurred. Good luck with the rest of the TMA!
