    The bond is missing between the R and the O at 1:24. Not really important but it’s reassuring to know that you’re human too! ;P

    About 5:55, I believe you incorrectly assign the substituent aldehyde as “oxo”, which is for ketones, instead of “formyl.” (But I’m still learning, so I could be wrong!)

      Both oxo and formyl are correct for aldehydes

    Why is it called propyl ethanoate if the propane carbon chain is longer than the ethane carbon chain?

      Sammy the parent chain is the one that has the carbonyl regardless of length
