8.1 Introduction to Alkene Addition Reactions; Markovnikov's Rule and Syn vs Anti | OChemistry

Chad introduces the anatomy of an alkene addition reaction; how a pi bond is broken and two sigma bonds are formed. He then explains Markovnikov's rule for regioselectivity showing that the electrophile or H+ ends up on the less substituted side of the alkene and the nucleophile on the more substituted side in Markovnikov addition and the opposite in anti-Markovnikov addition. Chad then explains the difference between Syn vs Anti for stereoselectivity as well.

I have been watching you since GenChem and I feel like you're a closely guarded secret! You are by far the best channel undergrad chem!

[owenfiles]

you are single-handedly saving my organic chemistry 1 semester

[faraanalladin]

These videos are extremely helpful. I often jokingly say to my friends that you are my main organic chem professor 😅. Thank you for all your hard work!

Chaddy daddy, amine-it when I say I love you

Sir, where is your alcohol section (dehydration, halogenation, etc) you've been teaching me chem all semester this year and all of a sudden, you're missing my next chapter

Where are these handouts you always talk about, on the website the visuals on the bottom of the video dont show the chiral center table
