I found that I loved what Chemistry I had to study and I was good at it, so, someday, I hope I will understand what the question and answer meant. It is blogs like yours that make me realize Chemistry is fun and since I can only understand things in 3D after translating them from 2D, maybe I won't be so bad at it after all.Sarah A.

Gets back to a polyene that could've come from ring-opening metathesis of the phenyl ring (?!) with ethylene. Whomp.
