Organic Chemistry Functional Groups Simplified to Memorize By Leah Fisch
Functional groups are key to success in organic chemistry. In order to recognize reactive portions of a molecule, you must first recognize the functional groups that influence reactivity. But how do you quickly memorize the groups when they look so similar? This video breaks down the common organic chemistry functional groups to help you understand […]
Naming Amines
Naming Organic Compounds Series: Video 18 This organic chemistry tutorial video takes you through the IUPAC rules for naming Amines. Examples include naming simple and substituted amines, along with diamines. (Watch on YouTube: Amines.

Alkyne Reduction Hydrogenation Reaction and Mechanism Video
Alkynes possess 2 pi bonds allowing for a full or partial reduction. This video walks you through the conditions required for all 3 reduction products including complete hydrogenation as well as the partial reduction to a cis or trans alkene. You’ll also learn the step by step mechanism for (radical) dissolving metal reduction. (Watch on YouTube: […]
Introduction to Alkyne Reactions in Organic Chemistry
Alkyne reactions typically mark the turning point between basic organic chemistry and this just got real! This video provides an introduction to what you can expect when studying alkyne reactions. From their basic chemistry and properties to the various alkyne reactions. (Watch on YouTube: Alkyne Intro. Click CC for Transcription.) –> Watch Next Video: Alkyne Reduction – Hydrogenation […]
Electron Configuration Tutorial Part 1
Intro to Orgo Series: Video 4 This tutorial video is designed to help new and incoming organic chemistry students build a solid foundation for organic chemistry Topics discussed in this video include an explanation of electron configuration, how to find the configuration by looking at the table, and a quick example. Video 5 (Electron Configuration […]
Acid Base Equilibrium Organic Chemistry Practice Questions
Ranking acids and bases are about more than just knowing which is stronger/weaker. This video walks you through a few practice questions where you’re asked to determine the position of equilibrium for acid-base reactions WITHOUT using PKA values. Instead, we’re using CARIO to determine which acids and bases are stronger and predicting the reaction direction […]
Enantiomeric Excess Percent Optical Purity Calculations and Logic
Enantiomeric excess percentage (aka optical purity percentage) calculations are one of the few equations you’ll come across in your orgo course. This video gives you a step by step breakdown and practice examples. You’ll see how to find the percent excess via logic and see the numbers side by side. (Watch on YouTube: Optics 3. Click […]
Orbital Hybridization and Acid Base Strength
Video 7 in the acid/base tutorial video series helps you understand the effect of hybridization on acid base strength. This video discusses WHY sp hybrids are more acidic and sp3 hybridized atoms more basics. This video also shows you how to calculate percent ‘s’ character (click HERE to watch this video on YouTube or check Transcript […]
Sodium Borohydride Carbonyl Reduction Reaction and Mechanism
Sodium Borohydride NaBH4 is a common reducing reagent used with carbonyl compounds. NaBH4 is a weak reducing agent and will only reduce ketones and aldehyes. Watch for the explanation below including reaction, mechanism, and practice problems. (Watch on YouTube: NaBH4 Reduction.
