Organic Chemistry I & II

The Haloform and Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction in detail.

A review of several different catalysts that revolutionized organic chemistry. Included are: Grubbs Catalyst Negishi Coupling Suzuki Coupling Heck Reaction Stille Coupling Wilkinson's Catalysis Ziegler-Nata reagents

An explanation of carbanion formation by Grignard reagents and organolithium reagents and how they react.

Formation and reactions of carbenes

The introduction of organometallic compounds and their uses as carbanions and catalysts in organic reactions.

An overview of Mass Spec: How it works, and how we can elucidate structural information from Mass Spec data.

This video reviews 2D spectroscopic methods like COSY and HETCOR as well as specialized pulse sequences that give additional information using NMR.

The qualitative characteristics of arenes in the infrared as well as how substituted arenes behave on HNMR and C13-NMR

Reactions of organolithium compounds with copper iodide to make a new reactive organometallic

How oxidation agents are used to transform alcohols into ketones, aldehydes and carboxylic acids

A discussion of how the alcohol functional group is generated.

Now the aromatic ring is the electrophile and nucleophiles attack and substitute on the ring! The conditions here are quite specific, so we need to be aware of how to get this stuff to work.

A Review of the Alcohol Functional Group

For benzenes with multiple substituents, EAS can be a bit wonky. Here I explain how we can plan around the wonkiness. Actual scientific term!

More wonkiness, but this time we venture beyond benzene and see how EAS works with those compounds.

An explanation of the rates of reaction in Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

The general mechanism of EAS.

An introduction to the channel. A full list of video topics complete with links are listed in the comments

Infrared spectroscopy, HNMR, c13- NMR, and mass spectrometry of amines

A description of nitrosation of Arya and alkyl amines.

The problems with Electrophilic aromatic substitution of amines, and workarounds of those problems.

Formation of amines through reactions and reductions

Formation of ammonium salts, and phase transfer catalytic properties. We also talk about the Hoffman elimination.

Nomenclature and physical properties of amines

Alkylation and Decarboxylation reactions using enolate chemistry.
