[@ottobot5433]

Was on the edge of failing till I found this channel. For anyone reading this, you're in the right place. Thank you CP!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Welcome to the channel :)

[@praphecy11]

When I was in university, I struggled to understand the concepts of why these things are so. After watching your videos all those questions are answered.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it - Happy Studying!

[@Jo-ow7rb]

You really do make science especially chemistry very enjoyable I am very happy I found your channel I enjoyed every single bit of this topic! Thank u!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome and Thank You!

[@brayancamargo6922]

Love the way he articulates himself, thanks for all the help during orgo man !

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping!

Hi Chad, I just wanted to let you know that all of my friends in Ochem and physics watch your videos! They have taught me more than any of my lectures. Thank you so much!

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks to for watching, Laurita U. - Happy Studying!

[@Waterfall36352]

These lectures are grade saving. You deserve more views + subscribers! I'll make sure to share.

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks Bilal! So glad you are finding them helpful!

[@samanthaanderson1213]

I seriously wish you were my professor. Thank you so much for saving my Ochem grade!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, Samantha!

[@miaaleman2050]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Chad for creating content and helping organic chemistry students all around with extra understanding outside of lectures!

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks, Mia - Glad you found the channel!

[@nastarannazari5062]

you are one of the best in teaching OChem. God bless you and your family

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you for such kind words!

[@cierachanae]

Thank you so much for taking your time to make these videos. They are saving me in O-Chem!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, CC - Happy Studying!

[@NoorNoor-pf5id]

You are an amazing person for doing this. Thank you so much. God bless you.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - Thank you!

[@Lovely-bh3ln]

There couldn't be any video made better than this about the topic ❤

[@ChadsPrep]

Wow - thank you!

[@steveng724]

Hello Chad, I hope you are doing well. Thanks for all the quality videos. 5 minutes in you said cyclopropane but , I believe you meant cyclopentane.

[@ChadsPrep]

Correct!

[@devancornelio3340]

best prof in the world tbh

[@ChadsPrep]

thank you

[@rachelmansilla2971]

phenomenal teaching!

[@ChadsPrep]

[@anderiabarzanji7354]

obsessed with ur channel ( may I get saved saved by ur teaching skills

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it - Happy Studying!

[@user-ly9ok5ly1z]

you are my life savior😭

[@ChadsPrep]

Happy Studying!

[@praphecy11]

Chad, you are the M.A.N.. In fact you are the Real M.A.N

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks!

You're welcome!

[@elizabethsquibb6145]

thank you so much!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're very welcome Elizabeth!

[@suryaprabakarangopinaththa2072]

Thank you so much I love this! but I have a question, for very last example why did u count counter clockwise? not clockwise like other examples?

[@user-zt6xw7cr2h]

You’re incredibly helpful!!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you think so!

[@dwrans6147]

Hello Chad. Could you please do a video about the chair conformation of glucose? How to draw it from a Haworth projection?

[@spicytrailmix3531]

Hi Chad I am back!! I hope youre well! Do you have any videos on how to draw newman projections for cyclohexanes? Thank you in any case :)

[@anishabal7702]

My saviour Chad!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping!

What model kit are you using?

[@stephenchanda4202]

The best👌🏿

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you.

[@TheArtsyCrafty]

Hi Chad! Quick question, if I'm given the name of a cyclohexane compound and I need to draw it, how will I know which substituent is a wedge and which is a dash? Just to make sure I get my chair conformation correct afterwards..

[@ChadsPrep]

Hi Bunny! If you have two substituents NOT on chiral centers then the name will have to be labeled cis or trans. Take for example cis-1-ethyl-4-methylcyclohexane. Being cis, both substituents would be wedges or both would be dashes. The worse situation would be if they were on chiral centers. If you don't even know yet what a chiral center is I won't be surprised as they are covered in chapter 5. For this reason we would often avoid such a question at this juncture. But if you did see one (like on the final exam) the chiral centers would be assigned absolute configurations of R or S which would allow you to figure out their stereochemistry. Hope this helps!

[@sciencenerd7639]

hexagons are the bestagons

[@ChadsPrep]

Indeed!
