Zaitsev and Hofmann Elimination Products

Sometimes you can get multiple elimination products from the same reaction, and we have to be able to name them. Not more nomenclature! Well, yes, kind of. But it's people's names. Zaitsev and Hofmann, to be precise.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Dave, appreciate how you explain from fundamentals why one product is favored, not just give some rule which appears arbitrary. This was always one of my biggest problems with Chemistry, it seemed to be a collection of rules with no coherent explanation.

I told everyone in my oc class about you every single of them are learning with your videos now :D

[sagar]

A friend told me about this channel, and what turns out is sir you are underrated.

[jenniferhernandez]

I was feeling discouraged about organic chemistry until I met you!!! Thank you so much for all the work that you do!!! You are a true blessing for all the struggling college students :')

[faal]

You are by far with the most clear explanation.  Very well done ! U have an extra subscriber today ;-)

[malenaramirez]

i didn't know i could understand organic chemistry until i found your video, i had to read the subtitles because i speak spanish but i understood everything !! thank you very much

[bigpapaj]

You make things so easy to understand; you always explain clearly why things occur. THANK YOU!

[sukainaalherz]

Thank you very much... you are highly organized when you explain with such great skills in addition to your knowledge that make all of what you said understandable and clear...appreciate your efforts.

Your classes are awesome...my addiction to chemistry is increasing day by day ...thanks a lot sir 😍😍..and I also suggest all of my friends to watch your lectures for clear conception .

[tarandeepsingh]

he knows a lot about science stuff. professor dave explains everything!

[purplefalcony]

I can't thank you more, for it's the first time I distinguish Zaitsev from Hofmann. I used to think they are the same person that refers to the same process. And now, I feel I might pass the exam.

Thanks for the quality of your videos! I'm from Brazil and many topics of chemistry, we suffer for not having quality video lessons as yours, thank you!

[andersondemori]

oh thanks Professor Im from Brazil and your videos are so good, even they are in English.I understood everything about this organic reactions...tks a lot

[miriamramos]

love the visual explanation of the chair conformation and why one of the H is not available. You are the best thank you so much.

[gabe]

[shailendrasinghal]

my professor explained the same topic for 2 to 3 days which u made possible in just 10 mintues...keep up the good work :D

[scottcampbell]

Thanks for not just telling me what to do but WHY WE DO IT. My orgo professor is great but we're in an accelerated course so sometimes the "why" is missed. To me, I just can't do the "what" without the "why".

[Jisescrait]

I dont know how i discovered your channel but im happy about that, my mother language is spanish and there's no organic chemistry videos with this quality at least on youtube! keep doing your stuff.

[lucasreddy]

[lisadinh]

Thank you professor Dave this cleared up a lot of things for me for my Ochem midterm
