Naming Organic Compounds Series: Video 19 This organic chemistry tutorial video takes you through the IUPAC rules for naming Amides. Examples include naming simple and substituted amides. (Watch on YouTube: Amides. Click CC on bottom right for transcript.) <– Watch Previous Video: Naming Amines –> Watch Next Video: Naming Aromatic Compounds (+ Benzene v Phenyl) […]
Introduction To IUPAC Nomenclature
Naming Organic Compounds Series: Video 1 This video is designed to give you an introduction to my ‘puzzle approach’ to IUPAC Nomenclature. Many orgo students find the topic of naming to be difficult or tricky when they attempt to name a large molecule in one shot. However, in this video I show you how to […]
Naming Straight Chain Alkanes
Naming Organic Compounds Series: Video 2 This naming tutorial video takes you through the basics of applying the puzzle pieces ‘first name’ and ‘last name’ when it comes to naming a straight-chain or simple alkane. Video includes a number of practice problems for recognition of line structure, condensed formula, and structural formulas. (Watch on YouTube: […]
Organic Chemistry Model Kit and Why You Should NOT Rely On It
If your professor says you can use your organic chemistry model kit on exams, I say DON’T. Don’t rely on it that is. Organic chemistry is a 3-dimensional subject that you learn on 2-dimensional paper. I know this sounds confusing but as an orgo student you’ll learn many tricks to work through 3-D problems on […]
Physical Properties of Alcohol: Hydrogen Bonding, Solubility, and Boiling Point
The key to understanding physical properties of alcohol, including hydrogen bonding solubility and boiling point is to understand the structure and charge distribution within the alcohol functional group. This video will show you the behind-the-scenes intermolecular forces at work that affect alcohol’s ability to hydrogen bond for solubility in water, miscibility, and boiling point trends. You’ll […]
Introduction to Alcohol Reactions
The key to mastering alcohol reactions is understanding WHY they react as they do. What about the OH functional group makes it want to attack or get attacked, as you will learn in later mechanisms? This video will give you a solid foundation to help you prepare to master the more advanced reactions starting with […]
Should I Retake my MCAT? If so, When?
You’ve done everything in your power to prepare for the MCAT. You’ve sat for the exam, You hit “Score,” And now you wait. A 30 day wait for your scores can be restlessly nerve wracking. Ideally, you went into the exam 100% ready, And hit your target score. But things happen, And sometimes the exam does […]
Acid Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes Reaction and Mechanism
Acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes involves replacing the pi bond on an alkene with a water molecule. This is done by adding an alcohol to the more substituted carbon atom, and hydrogen to the less substituted carbon atom. This reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule and may undergo a carbocation rearrangement. If it is chiral, the product […]
How to Prepare for Your Upcoming Organic Chemistry Semester
Are you worried about your upcoming Orgo Semester? Why not avoid the roadblocks and prepare in advance to ensure you’re ready on day one? Organic chemistry is different than the other difficult science courses. This video gives insightful approaches on how to prepare and ace Orgo 1, Orgo 2, or if you’re retaking! (Watch on […]
Studying in the Shower
Time is often the biggest issue when it comes to studying for the MCAT. With 3 years worth of undergraduate studies to master for the exam, not to mention all the practice passages, full lengths and review, it’s often a race against the clock. Learning content in Phase 1 is time consuming, But it doesn’t […]
