Chemists Just Made “Impossible Molecules”... Really? (Bredt’s rule)

Every time I watch a new video from you, I learn 3 more abbreviations for chemicals.

[@totalsynthesis]

Sorry, we throw abbreviations around like crazy

I’m a 2nd year chemistry student. Everytime I watch a chemistry video on KZbin, I’m astonished, and truthfully a little bit overwhelmed about all the information they know. It makes me wonder when I’ll learn things like this, & if I’ll be able to hang on during lessons like these, as well as ‘ damn will I ever be this smart‘ hopefully I can make it through lmao. I love this stuff but it’s just such a big jump from your standard ochems, makes me wonder.

[@totalsynthesis]

Hey man, super awesome you are eager to learn and thinking boldly! BTW - just reacting as you have said that you're a chem student - I've just published a bit of a longer problem set (total-synthesis.com/organic-chemistry-practice-problems/) that might be interesting for you to check out. Even if just for more challenge or inspiration :) In case other students find it valuable, I will document the solutions and publish more of these in future.

As a postgrad chem student, you’ll most likely hear about it during your master degree if this one is specialised in ochem, radical chemistry and photochemistry

[@MultiAXEeffect]

a bit sad you kept it on such a trivial level, i totally knew all of that!

[@totalsynthesis]

😂😂😂

[@THEGHOSTSLAVE]

Be me Be falling asleep listening to this video "If you aren't asleep" This cheeky bastard's got us all figured out

[@totalsynthesis]

I was talking to you specifically!!!

[@APVAPF]

my chemistry teacher also told us about the new update that bredts rule is broken, it was like a weeek ago,now this is being recommended to me

[@totalsynthesis]

Tell them about what you've learned!

[@joseffchristian4777]

Obrigado pela faixa de áudio em Português Brasileiro! Didática motivante e muito bem explicada, com referências. Não pare! Thanks!

[@totalsynthesis]

Automatic translation by KZbin! But I'm glad they are helpful (did they make sense?)

[@narogen3431]

your videos are so soothing :) interesting content, well presented.

[@totalsynthesis]

Thanks so much!!

[@ChemicaLove]

I like the cool background images that still have easy to read text of the slide

[@huskyhuskyhusky]

Neil Garg really is the goat rn

[@Morbazan125]

Yeah I hate ring strain too…..😂

[@romanpolanski4928]

At 5.29 in this video, the minor enone appears to have lost a methylene group.

[@totalsynthesis]

Yep! Nicely spotted

[@espanadorada7962]

TIL there was a plastics industry in the 1870’s… always assumed they were first being synthesized in the early 20th century

[@Thaumius]

Just like with French Grammar, everything has exceptions to rules!

[@totalsynthesis]

This gives me bad flashbacks to trying to learn French

[@UniCorneliusfan21]

The glaze is way too unreal They haven’t even made trans cyclohexene yet xd

[@BestFriendOfJesus]

God bless

[@user-CIGAxScape]

Easy

[@manoj4558]

You need to improve your communication skills, its sounds you are not interested to make. However, content is awesome

[@totalsynthesis]

😂😂😂 really? Recording audio doesnt do me justice (feels like you have to completely over-exaggerate emotions or emphasis to make it come through)

[@joeyw.7131]

@@totalsynthesis Totally disagree. You sound fine. I think over-exaggerating would do a disservice to your videos, actually.

[@totalsynthesis]

Thanks mate

[@MinnaOskarson]

@@totalsynthesis I like it when the videos are a bit more academic in style.
