This video was so good, I was disappointed to see that there were only four videos in this playlist.

I can’t find anywhere anymore clearer than this for alcohol reaction mechanism ❤ Even this is 7 years old video, it is still gold for me

[anagabiyates]

i LOVED this class. I am in college in Brazil and i didn't find any good video before this. This saved me!

[TheAnastasiafr]

Zach, Please do more videos on orgo, we need you!

[mahmudarahman]

This video was very helpful!Learnt more than what I learned from class.Please make more lectures based on chemistry.Pleeeaaasseeee🙏

[nhivuong]

I’m learning pharmacy but I cant understand organic chemistry and pharmacology, your video help me a lot, thanks alot <3

[ambernelson]

Amazing, so helpful! I have been so lost on this part of orgo before watching this video. Please keep making more!!!!

[lorennedalisay]

I hope there will be more vids in this playlist! Thank you for all the efforts. I learned a lot!

Omg i am totally shocked this guy continues high school science along with medical school stuff...big salute and respect...
I wanaa meet you sir♥️♥️♥️♥️
U r one man army
I mean how is it possible

35:52 i’m really addicted to this sound. “Ummhmmm!”

Super helpful. I enjoyed the lecture. However, I have one issue. When the alcohol undergoes a reaction with SOCl2 and pyridine, an inversion does occur. If the reaction occurs with only SOCl2 and no base - or catalytic nucleophile -is involved, then the stereochemistry is retained.

super helpful!!! made organic chem less stressful and confusing

[muay]

He is the best! Thank you so much for great video

Hi Zach & Co. Just happened upon this while looking for Orgo help for my granddaughter, a 2nd year Integrated Neuroscience major. She's anticipating medical school v. PA school. Just a bit of self info, I'm 73 & retired surgical PA (still per diem) for 46 years. Certainly wish you were around back in my PA school days as my struggles would certainly have been augmented by your super instruction. The only one I've viewed so far is your Immunity lecture. Keep up the great work. You can expect to see me in the near future as a paid subscriber. BTW how many Orgo lectures do you have? Can't seem to find the lecture listing. Thanks & I look forward to hearing from you, John Bergin, PA Albany, NY

I agree. I wish you would do more videos!!

[julianmiguel]

I absolutely love these videos you make! Just wanted to ask though, at the end of the E1 mechanism you showed, you said to use hydronium and THF, but I thought an E1 mechanism prefers to have a polar protic not aprotic solvent. Again, I love that you explain everything so I will definitely keep watching your videos!

10:04 did the Cl kept the wedge because it attacked from the front and Br attacked from the back. But how do you determine where it will attack from in the substitution? The lack of a partial positive?

[Lukhaplays]

At 9:47 sir I think the sign of attaching Cl should be ||||

Hey Zach, I think pyridine will extract hydrogen first then the extra charge on oxygen will be donated to phosphorus
