My mother needs to create some professional documents and by god can’t handle word or complex instructions.

Showed her Latex but i use overleaf over my university and don’t think its free to use (?)

Wanted her to use Latex due to chatgpt (which she uses ans knows how to use good enough) being good at giving you latex source code and troubleshoot problems also it is imo pretty intuitive to use.

Are there any editors that are free to use and give you the source code and the document on a screen like overleaf does?

Update: 2h for 10 docs each 5 pages fully formatted and good looking written in overleaf by her with help of chatgpt to format only explaining it once and reminding her of \noindent and \newpage.

She said it the dual screen setup and command type writing is ok at least she doesn’t need to search for shit.
“It almost makes fun” she is literally the first person to say that and i got nothing to add but my trauma shouldn’t be her aesthetic.

I recently made DBM through a Claisen Condensation and the NMR in CDCl3 shows a total symmetric molecule. So now i wonder if these are two limits drawn of the same Strukture or 2 different in rapid equilibrium. My knowledge of QM tells me its the same only only limit Structures but changes between these at RT probably could be fast enough to not show differences in the NMR??

I’m looking for a source for the mechanism of oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids over an aldehyde intermediate with KMnO4. After extensive search online and in books i have yet to find a full mechanism. Most just don’t go into detail or only go a few steps, suspecting it is not completely explained yet, which is to be expected with the different oxidation levels Mn goes through. But i also kind find a source telling me it’s unknown.

Can anyone help?
