Zhou Yi was getting more and more excited without realizing it.
The solution to this problem isn't actually unique.
Whatever method you use, as long as you can synthesize this macrocycle with a few reagents, that's fine.
Li Zheng's answer, naturally, is different from the most standard laboratory synthetic route currently practiced.
But theoretically, it makes sense.
Every bond cut was very precise.
Every ring formed was very beautiful.
The classmates watching the excited Zhou Yi only felt fear.
"How many times did Teacher Zhou mention ring formation?"
"How many rings are in this problem, exactly?"
"That guy's name is Li Zheng, right?"
Two minutes later, Zhou Yi slapped his thigh.
"This ring can be formed!"
With that, he patted Li Zheng's shoulder vigorously, "Very good, Ou Xingzhuo, you really understand rings."
Boom, the whole room erupted.
Part of the surprise was at Zhou Yi's praise.
For someone to be acknowledged by Zhou Chenghuan as "understanding rings"...
