19.4a Formation of Hemiacetals and Acetals Addition of Alcohols | Organic Chemistry

[@mattflores8911]

I don’t know if you read comments from a year ago but I would like to say thank you a lot for going literally step by step for the mechanisms. It’s very easy to follow and I appreciate that!

[@ChadsPrep]

I try to get to every comment and I always appreciate the feedback, Matt - glad the channel/video has helped you!

You're actually the goat dude, so much of orgo and biochem just clicked for me.

[@ChadsPrep]

Excellent - Happy Studying!

[@vividoxygen]

You truly are amazing! I always seem to find myself on your channel when I need solid clarification. I recommend you to all of my friends as well! Thank you for all that you do :)

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - and Thank you!

Hi Chad, thanks for being a total saving grace. Would you be able to do a video on hydration of vinyl ether?

[@shayamoosavi8839]

God bless you and your videos. You truly deserve more views. Your channel arguably has the best chem review videos I have found on all of youtube, nobody explains as well as you do. I will be returning once its time to study for the DAT.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you like them, Shaya - thanks for commenting!

you saved me through my undergrad chemistry and now i am back for a refresh for my MCAT

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it, Richard - welcome back and Happy Studying!

Very helpful tutorial. 👌🏻😊

@@ChadsPrep thank to you for making these videos.

awesome video, I liked the vid and really appreciate this playlist being available and with such high quality just a quick question - throughout the video, is hemiacetal being used interchangeably with hemiketal (and same with acetal ketal)? like for instance, at 2:00 the ketone being turned into a 'hemiacetal' is a hemiketal right? thanks prof you're the goat

[@ChadsPrep]

a hemiacetal is formed when an alcohol adds to an aldehyde and when hemiketal is formed when an alcohol adds to a ketone. Thank you for pointing this out!

[@BruceWayne-i2n]

makes sense thanks chief

Chad you're goated. I'm staying afloat in ochem because of you

pretty good. Thanks from Brazil!

My ochem final is next Thursday and I'm reviewing. Funny because we just learned carbohydrates (and im going to be watching your videos for that lol)

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping you - Happy Studying and hope you do well on your final.

Thank you !

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome!

[@bboir]

sir, isn't Acetal or hemiacetal formed by the addition of Aldehyde + Alcohol? NOT Ketone + Alcohol. the later would form Ketal and hemiketal depending on the condition. Hopefully you will see this

[@ChadsPrep]

Correct and I believe another user pointed this out also :)

[@dipikasinha4140]

​@@ChadsPrep Yes, I also came to the comment section to check whether any viewer pointed this out or not.

[@ayleenc.205]

@@ChadsPrep Are these conditions in the video still applying to ketals or acetals? Since the video has ketones.....

This is kicking my acetal, chaddy daddy

[@ChadsPrep]

Clever.
