Studying with ADHD can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Picture this: You have a good study plan. You want to get X, Y, Z done today. You’re ready to be productive. But it’s difficult when you’re distracted, tired, and just downright unmotivated. Does this feel like you? How do you stay focused […]
Keto Enol Tautomerization Reaction and Mechanism
Keto Enol Tautomerization or KET, is an organic chemistry reaction in which ketone and enol molecules can isomerize or interconvert, typically in an acid or base catalyzed reaction.
Alkene Epoxidation Reaction and Mechanism with mCPBA
Reaction Overview: Alkene epoxidation is a reaction in which the pi bond of an alkene breaks and both of the former sp2 carbon atoms bind to the same oxygen atom, forming a 3-membered ring known as an epoxide. This reaction requires a peroxycarboxylic acid, such as m-CPBA. Epoxidation happens via a concerted reaction mechanism and […]
Top 5 Must-Have Resources For Surviving Organic Chemistry
You’re getting ready for the new semester. And you’re preparing to tackle the beast that is Organic Chemistry. You’ve heard all the rumors about the class, but you need to know where to start and WHAT to have on hand. I’ve got you covered! Organic Chemistry is confusing enough on its own, so I’d like […]
Alkene Epoxidation Tutorial Video
Alkene epoxidation is an exciting reaction in which a double bond reacts with a peroxy acid to form an epoxide. This is considered a syn addition since the oxygen is bound to 2 carbon atoms. Most organic chemistry students are not required to know the mechanism for epoxidation, however I find that knowing the mechanism will […]
Free Radicals Organic Chemistry – Reactions Resonance Stability Hybridization
A radical, or free radical, refers to an atom or molecule with a single unpaired electron. This concept differs from 99% of organic chemistry which deals with the movements and reactions of electron pairs. Before we dive into free radical reactions, let’s take a step back to understand the nature and chemistry of these mysterious […]
