Newman Projections

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into newman projections. It explains how to draw the newman projections of ethane, butane, and 2,3-dimethylpentane. It explains how to draw the eclipsed and staggered conformations of ethane as well as the gauche and anti conformations of butane. It explains how to use conformational analysis to determine which conformation is most stable.

Thanks for all of your videos. You are the reason I got an A in my organic chemistry course. You explain things better than my college professor who is the head of the chemistry department! Way to go!

Hey at 6.30 there was a mistake on the rear 2 attachments for eclipsed butane you put 2 methyl groups where there should be hydrogens!

[rickyjiang]

This is actually more useful than my professor at uni!!! You explained it so well and made it so much more understandable. Thank you so much for saving me hours of going through my lecture notes!!!

Why is it that YouTube, a free resource, teaches me better than the class I'm paying money to attend?

[celala]

i want to say i love you so much for all your videos. I have a terrible professor this semester for organic chem and was struggling until i found your videos. thank you so much.

My final exam is on saturday and I've been hella confused by this topic. Thank you for teaching us this!

[kaushikumarihami]

Wonderful explanation. I learned this within just few minutes. What an amazing teacher you are!! Thank you very much!!!

[poetryclub]

Converting it to a lewis dot (i think that's what that is) before diving straight into the newman makes it SO SO SO much easier for my brain to see! Thank you so much for that method, it's foolproof for me!!! I never would have gotten it without that trick because I have trouble visualizing things. THANK YOU!!!!

It's a shame that dislikes are no longer publicly visible, as that would've shown that this is an actually usefull and great explanation of the exact subject matter in a world of bad, slow, subject-irrelevant or otherwise lacking tutorials.

I am having an Organic Chem test today. Will most def help!

[purabraut]

Properly explained! Really enjoyed it 😀
We could also make Saw-Horse Projections and just condense it's structure by joining the front and back Carbon atoms to get Newman's!

[nichaphatj.]

You’re the best tutor for me. Thx for your best explanation 😍

[annanguyen]

I was failing but then I found you and was able to pass thank you so much.

[sherlockholmes]

Just what I needed! I literally had a test tomorrow on this thing

[kristofandersen]

you may single handedly save my semester...pray up for my final

[senny-]

am i missing something or did you draw the number 4 conformation here wrong? 7:28

[miladwaleed]

I think that he made a mistake at 6:20, it should be two (H) and not two (CH3) right ?

[starrrr]

I love ur videos. Like purrr we love a smart man😌

[Zikeal-dl]

I'm 14 years old today and I'm gonna come back here 4 years later to learn something from college

There's a special place in heaven for this feller
