The universal panic button of organic chemistry students everywhere! Resonance is that magical hand-wave explanation professors taught us to use whenever we're cornered by a difficult mechanism question. Can't explain that weird reaction? Resonance. Strange stability? Resonance. Professor asks why your synthesis failed? Must be... insufficient resonance. It's the academic equivalent of percussive maintenance – when in doubt, just keep drawing those curved arrows until either the problem makes sense or everyone's too dizzy to care anymore.
When In Doubt, Resonance Is Always The Answer
