Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Artifact Description
A multistep synthesis of 5-isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is carried out from three commodity chemicals. The sequence involves an aldol condensation, Dieckmann-type annulation, ester hydrolysis, and decarboxylation. No purification is required until after the final step, at which point gravity column chromatography provides the desired product in good overall yield. This synthesis sequence allows students to put into practice many of the fundamental acid- and base-catalyzed transformations of carbonyls presented in the second semester of a traditional introductory organic chemistry sequence. Importantly, this synthesis has been optimized to fit entirely within a series of five 4 h laboratory periods and requires no specialized equipment. Furthermore, the intermediates and product of the synthesis exhibit proton NMR spectra that illustrate many important concepts in introductory spectroscopic analysis.
