50: Finding chiral carbons in organic molecules

Practice finding chiral carbons in a variety of organic molecules

[OrcjaEnglish]

Ma'am! You have made a mistake while finding the total number of chiral centers in the last example. You just mentioned the four chiral centers. In a fact, there are the five chiral centers in the last example. Hope, you will reconsider it. Thank you for a nice lecture. ❣

Thank you for this, you deserve all the awards. Very clear and helpful.

[preetthorat]

In last example...carbon attached to -OH group should also be chiral.

Btw your explanation is superb!!!
❤ from India🇮🇳

[Elif-eodn]

You are the best explainer, no one shows the groups..

[haddouabdelghani]

Thank you.
But what about the carbon atom attached to the OH group in the sixth example.

[francesanne]

This was so helpful when the book, other videos, and the teacher couldn’t explain to me what parts of the molecule I’m supposed to be looking at when determining the chirality center. Thank you so much!!!

[calebheide]

Fantastic quick breakdown with good variety of examples.

[presto]

You're an angel for explaining this so well. Quick question though:

On the last example, why is the carbon bound to the hydroxyl group not a chiral center?

[Medholic]

What a clear explanation I am watching this video from 🇮🇳

[willylmao]

What a great and concise explanation. I finally wrapped my head around the C=C and carbon triple bond concept and how they factor into chirality, thanks for this.

Best Explanation ❤️‍🔥Searching This Kind Of Video For A Long Time😪Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩💪

[xesthetic]

Thank you so much ❤️
This is the best explanation i have seen so far.

[divyanshi]

Thanks a lots for such a clear explanation it was so useful 😊

[jusleejolm]

Well explained. The limonene example is why I came here. There can also be non-carbon chiral centres though.

[noreensyed]

Wish you were my ochem professor. This video was so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you

[vidhiluniya]

omg believe or not this really helped me a lotttt and i mean it! thankyou very much! never thought that organic can be this easy

[easylearning]

So much surprising fantastic explanation .praise from india

[MoayedKamali]

Hey Roxi thank you for the explanation but on the last one what happened to the carbon atom that was attached to the hydroxyl group?

[TenaciousOPS]

Great video! Thank you so much for clarifying.

[tinodhliwayo]

Thank you for making this concept clear
