18.1 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a thorough introduction to Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions in this lesson. He begins with the general mechanism of EAS reactions before covering the specific mechanisms of four EAS reactions: bromination, chlorination, sulfonation, and nitration.

00:00 Lesson Introduction
00:48 EAS vs NAS
01:59 EAS Mechanism
07:06 EAS Bromination
11:56 EAS Chlorination
14:05 EAS Sulfonation and Desulfonation
18:04 EAS Nitration

I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. You’re the reason that I got A- in Orgo2 last semester. Thank you.

[Countrygirltori]

New video and the EXACT topic I'm studying right now for Orgo. Thank you!

[phila]

Getting me through my first year of Organic chemistry for Pharmacy, all the way in South Africa you are a life saver.

[lilyquinnwise]

You just covered an entire chapter in my textbook! Thank you so much! You explain everything in such great detail!

[AaryaTiwary-xg]

Thank you so much you filled in a lot of my knowledge gaps related to this topic
I wanted to ask how we students should approach learning Organic chemistry i wish to be clear with my basics. Thanks again you're a real life saver

[HouseOfGwengi]

So awesome. I'm yet to sit for my papers this semester but feel like I have scored an A grade given how I am literally cruising through the past papers.
The trick is to understand Chad and make notes

[balenciagacoat]

you are literally saving my career bless🔥🔥🔥

[bugs]

Chad you're the man! saving me from crippling confusion

[fdrisgreat]

Thank you very much for doing this electrophilic aromatic substitution topic showing the reaction mechanisms.

[luke_MacLaughlin]

Really great job with this one chad - thanks! Helped me understand how alot of reactions work in general.

[michaelowogowog]

just want to say that your videos are really helpful and I appreciate your efforts man. Usually, I study starting 6 am and finish at 5PM per chapter using solomon's organic chemistry book but with your videos I can finish 1 chapter in less than an hour using 1.5 speed. Thanks a lot🎉.

[DZR]

This channel is a grade saver! Thank you! Great content.

[aj_Myko]

Your methods are clear and precise which makes this topic fun, thank you for teaching!

[leticianeronggai]

🫡Sitting for a Aromatic Compounds and haloalkanes tomorrow. This tutorial was very helpful.
Thank you. Watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

[amandaplong]

you are literally the only way i can understand o chem

[frogmutation]

I'm confused on why the electrons that deprotonate in chlorination come from the bond chlorine has with aluminum. Wouldn't it be a different pair of electrons doing the deprotonation or how exactly is the bond to aluminum being broken?

[AmplifiedMedicine]

Chad I love your videos. Thanks for the help always!

[anisahmuti]

This helps me a lot, thank u so much!

[claudiat.]

You are so awesome. Sharing this with classmates
