same, I am learning this right now in Ochem one

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@sampena6051 I know it's been six years ago, but I just came across your comment and was curious. How'd the rest of ochem1 go?

[@PunmasterSTP]

How'd the rest of orgo1 go?

[@korinnekonner3063]

You're awesome! Perfect explanation. I finally understand and am not just relying on memorization. Thank you from NYC!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

That’s awesome to hear Korinne! We love to hear that shift from pure memorization to understanding. ❤️ You’re welcome from Boston haha.

Thank you so much, this is one of the reactions I feel really comfortable with because of your video! Specifically part 2!

[@taylorkennedy5602]

This is so amazing. You are truly heaven sent! Thank you!

[@harshitajangra1792]

O is very much cool😂 You explained the concepts in a really easy manner. Thanks a lot😃

[@brinfreit4934]

of all the videos on Yt these help me the most. you should branch out and do more orgo videos if you can. thank you for the videos you made !

[@nedsings243]

Thank you so much for your video's frank. They've been a big big help. You're amazing.

[@ewebiyiruthtoluwalase1101]

I just discovered you and I like you already 😅🤩 Thank you for the explanation, really helpful

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Thanks for letting me know! Glad it could help. Enjoy the rest of this channel! 😄

[@alysonsliman421]

Your videos are helping me SO much. THANK YOU! Could you do a video covering the Strecker and Gabriel Synthesis mechanisms?

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Thanks Alyson! I'm really glad to hear that they could help. :D I would do a video on those but I unfortunately never learned them at BU and haven't encountered it too much in tutoring so I'm not familiar with them. I also wouldn't feel comfortable covering a topic that I don't fully understand. But hopefully some of the other videos I'm planning to make soon can help you! (Epoxides, Aromatics)

[@teresajuarez3132]

Can you made a video explaining wich is the product when both OH are asymmetrical (cis, trans)?

[@taichifukumura7769]

I like the time codes/ quasi-table of contents :)

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Compliments of an extra long video. ;)

[@nneomaozor6952]

Thanks a lot. This is really helpful

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

nneoma ozor Glad to hear that! 👏🏼 😄

[@chidiezeonyebuchi1266]

S/o UMD!!!! Thanks man, exam tomorrow!

[@PunmasterSTP]

How'd the exam go?

[@JohnWilliams-ee5xd]

You're the best 👏

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

@@JohnWilliams-ee5xd thanks for watching! Where are you taking Organic Chem at? 😀

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

I'm taking honors ochem 1 and they require it for us

[@PunmasterSTP]

How'd ochem 1 go?

[@salmaamgoune3794]

thank you for all your are awesome

[@tamatherelmahdi7100]

Omg thank youuuu!!!!

[@vishnusubrahmanyam8534]

Hey! I did get stuck on the mechanism for the cyclic diol. Why would a shift occur there? Isn't the carbocation that forms a tertiary one and stable in itself? I couldn't digest the fact that a methyl shift occurs in this one.

[@parakhmody1413]

+Vishnu Subrahmanyam I think that's true even with the non-cyclic/linear diol case. I think the goal here is to move the positive charge next to the oxygen in order to form the carbonyl compound, which is much more stable compared to both the carbocations.

[@vishnusubrahmanyam8534]

Oh. Okay. Thanks!

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@parakhmody1413 Yeah I had the same question as well. Thanks!

[@WaggingTailsSquad]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@muazzammirza8810]

I'm from Pakistan ,, really thanks for that sir 😊 ...

[@PunmasterSTP]

Pinacol rearrangement? More like "Peak teaching skills, and thanks for the entertainment!" 👍

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

😂 thanks for watching!! Glad you had a good time haha 👌🏼

[@alessio272]

I hate rxn mechs. They are like math story problems. Add a catalyst or a reagent then you have a complexity.

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Haha yeah kind of! But the fact that it’s a story is the best part! You can kind of interpret it in your own words and give each of them a role and it becomes easy to remember! For example Horner Emmons Wadworth (HWE) or Wittig Reaction, I remember them as the Shotgun Reaction! Your PPH3 or P(OCH3)3 is like your shotgun, you have to load it up with an alkyl halide (R-Br) your bullet. Once it’s loaded up it’s doubly charged in its Ylide form. And then you fire the bullet at your target (a ketone or aldehyde). And that’s why at the end of the day the Phosphorus component never makes it onto the product (just like how a gun would never be thrown at something, just the bullet would be fired).

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Be sure to hit the bell 🛎 button btw because I’m releasing a brand new Orgo Made Easy Video Podcast series very soon!!

Triple like.

ALDOL CLAISEN?

[@juliadecoste2967]

you are so adorable my friend

[@vaibhavtripathi852]

Your last answer is wrong There ring contraction should take place

[@PunmasterSTP]

Out of curiosity, why would it take place? Wouldn't going from a 6 to a 5-membered ring produce additional strain? Also, would you be willing to share a resource that described such a contraction in more detail? Thanks in advance!
