Stereoisomers: Enantiomers, Diastereomers, and Meso Compounds!

In this organic chemistry tutorial on stereoisomers, we learn to distinguish between enantiomers and diastereomers, and also how to identify a meso compound. We also do a few practice problems.

00:00 Intro
00:19 Stereoisomers vs. constitutional isomers
01:56 What are enantiomers?
03:43 What are diastereomers?
05:56 Practice Problems - enantiomers vs. diastereomers vs. constitutional isomers
09:35 How to find the total number of stereoisomers for a molecule
11:17 What are meso compounds?
13:55 One more practice problem

u are SO much better than the organic chemistry tutor. thank you for making things so easy to comprehend!

[marissarappa]

Please make more videos !! ! You’re so helpful !

[cz]

thank you so much, this was very well explained and helped me a lot !

[airjaw]

thank you so much, tomorrow is my chemistry exam, and you clear my all doubts.

[WombExplorer]

Hey, Thank you for this!!

Can You please make a video on syn and anti addition and predicting the number of products formed in it?

[watching]

Should make more videos. This was great.

[sofiacordova]

you are my favorite channel! thank you for always being able to help me understand!!

[awesomedude]

really helpful, thank you! Your explanations are great.

[xiaozhufang]

This video helped me a lot. Thank you!

[LibbyThomas-elpg]

why at 2.37 is it named with four and three? Where do we start numbering from?

[MariamMansour-if]

On practice problem enatiomers vs diastereomers (7:00) how come the molecule is an enatiomer if the chirality center has changed? (went from dashed to filled lines)

[jessicahernandez]

Any Chance you can do a video discussing SN1 & SN2

[santhoshK]

hi mam you are teaching excellent and you are beautiful
love from India
found this channel helpful

[siddhenmahajan]

can u make video on hyperconjugation effect

[zohzydv]

what is S and R? can anyone help me with that??

[yaa_whitney]

Hi, thank you so much for these videos:) They are very helpful.I have a question though, do you offer tutoring to students please?

[Arpit_IITD.]

Ma'am why were you not uploading lectures❤

[SpectixKamisato]

What are those R and S represents? This is very hard for me.

Struggling from 2d representations to see difference between meso compounds and enantiomers. The rest I think I have...
