Organic Chemistry 2 Final Exam Review:

[alinamoreno]

thank you for teaching what my professor is supposed to be teaching... self-teaching organic thru online classes is hard :/

[omarmikha]

6:55 "so what's gonna happen here? ..I'LL tell you" idk why that made me crack up

[Jojo-kltx]

Dude, you are AWESOME. Thank you so much. We wrote it down kinda weird in the lecture, so I really couldn't figure the steps out by myself. Your videos are always a great help.☺

[forouqam]

Thankyou thank you it is perfect, I hope anywhere you are, be happy as much as you make us happy 😊🌸THANK YOU AGAIN 💙

[jessicazwilling]

Ahhhhmazing how you simplify everything. Orgo is not so scary after all.

[SonuKumar-mesw]

I'm an IIT JEE aspirant and your video is best for it 😀❤️

[rajaroychoudhuri]

Favoulus explanation deserves to be best organic chemistry tutor

[radicalpisces]

does the butyl propyl ether not have an extra carbon since the last two electrons should leave with the bromine?

[rebeccaly]

Thank you!! You make it so much easier to understand!

[maximocaceres]

so, basically:

SN2 reaction
your substrate is R'X- and your nucleophile is ROH
strong nucleophile required
primary carbon, or else you'll also get an E2 if the nucleophile is also a base

[maheradan]

Wow thank you, we're going through that now.

[rekhasharma]

Please make a separate video on Williamson continuous ether synthesis
Pls pls pls

[mackfieldgeorge]

I don't know what I would do without you 🤧😂

[saki]

Thank you sir. Would you mind uploading frequency distribution table problems Mathematics.

[maxcozzini]

During the intramolecular reaction, why was the bromide atom kicked off carbon 6?

[ageunggiffarigozali]

@ 1:59 It should be "most alcohols are MORE basic than phenol" right ? Since greater pKa means weak acid and thus a better base ?

[mahmoudtony]

Thank you sir you're awsome you upload the marvelous carbohydrates video please?

[islamicbrotherhood]

But i think rate of ether synthesis should not be affected by structure of alkoxide...as it has to attack the position and bulkiness of halide will determine the major product

[clementchileshe]

write reaction mechanism for benzyl-tert-butyl ether

[mohamedstes]

At about 2:20 you say hydroxide is strong eneough to deprotonate a phenol but not to deprotonate 1-butanol. Dont you mean water or H2O? Or am i mistaken?
