    The explanation for the duality of LDA is really so good and logical.
    I remember you discussed this in the live session on enolates too?

      My recent posts across my social media showed that people in general have a pretty poor understanding of the chemical equilibrium. And I hear all the time things like LDA always gives kinetic enolate. And it’s simply not true. Good half of papers out there use LDA for thermodynamic enolates! So, when things like this show up in exam, students are often utterly confused because they remember the “rule” and now it’s not working for whatever mysterious reason.

      @@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutorhaven't really encountered this much detail in my course but it's obviously very good to have a deeper understanding and knowing the real explanations rather than the workarounds we are mostly taught.
