Thank you for being our open-source ochem teacher! You made a huge difference for me this semester.

I have been watching your videos only for 2 days but i have learned more than i learned in 30 days from another source.Loved your energy and the way of expressing,thank you !

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you found the channel!

[@middleearther2373]

Thank you SO much for making these videos!!! I felt totally baffled by my organic chemistry lectures and then I started watching your videos and everything made sense. It made me so happy. I just wish you could teach organic chemistry at my school haha. I'm telling my fellow confused students about your channel and your videos are helping them too. Btw, I like your shirts :)

At 2:40, when the alkene deprotonates the protonated methanol, is it not more straight forward for the alkene to deprotonate the sulfuric acid, which then creates a carbocation that gets attacked by the alcohol? Or will all the sulfuric acid have already protonated the methanol, so there is no chance for this to happen?

Hey chad a little confused at 2:40. You said when h2SO4 gets in water it turns into H3O+ yet I see a oxygen bonded to two H’s and a CH3. Where did that CH3 come from?

[@onespeedbjj3846]

The alcohol is the solvent in this reaction not water. So when you put H2SO4 in methanol it will form a protonated methanol and HSO4- as the conjugate base. He was using H3O+ as an example.
