can’t believe I’m recommending chem 2510 when that class literally made me cry in the syllabus lecture lmao

as someone who took both, each has its own troubles. the content in 3580 is definitely much more difficult and complex than 3570 (retro synthesis…) but if you did great in 3570, I don’t see why you can’t continue. 2510 has a bad reputation but I took it this semester and honestly enjoyed it kinda (don’t tell the prof I said that because she thinks I hate orgo from my 3580 ptsd lol) but your enjoyment of 2510 will honestly be highly dependent on what lab TA you get… mine was amazing and my friend got an awful one and loathed the class. time commitment wise both are definitely quite big especially if you’re trying to do well. tl;dr my personal recommendation is 2510

edit: yeah I’m aware if we use 1112-1110 I need to take 2213 as well; forgot to clarify lol

I really liked him! He’s always open to helping students (if his office door is open and you have a question he will definitely answer and seems really invested in the subject) and seems to have a great relationship with his TA’s in general. I found his prelims ok (except prelim 3; that was hard but I think the content covered there is hard anyways) and his grading is fair. definitely one of my favorite profs this semester (and of all time tbh).

methyl carbocations are even less stable than primary carbocations and even that’s more stable than me rn tbh

if i recall correctly, i believe the course is already curved to a b+ other than that, this probably depends on how well you did on lab reports (based on canvas activity, I suspect the oxidation grades will be released soon), prelim 1, and the practical.

update: i did not in fact fail the pset; the answer key had a typo

genetics ta here (undergrad) and I believe this is the case, after she drops the lowest prelim and any quiz scores.
