Structure and Functional Groups (IOC 1) 

Taking now a bachelor's in biochemistry it is very easy to forget many reactions if you don't practice day to day. Your videos helped a lot.

As a soon-to-be teacher who had all the organic chemistry in the start of the 5 years of study I think this playlist is a great refresher

I read organic chemistry because I find it soothing. Humans can let you down, but you know where you are with a ketone.

learning organic chem on my own till I get to study them formally. Really apreciate this

I like this format a lot. Nice to have a reminder/introduction from someone in the field. It's more focused on the fundamentals and you are closer to the actual application with some stories and site-notes that help remembering

(TL;DR: Thank you.) I graduated with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering a bit over a year ago. I've since started my career in Embedded FW and Telecoms (think satellite-enabled remote sensors). However, it took me a long time to get the degree - I spent 7 years getting it. I was a horrible student for the first 5 ...unfortunately that is when I took our required Chemistry course. The only thing I remember is electronegativity... I just want to let you know how important your teaching is: I've recently watched some of your non-lecture videos like the acid tier list - totally lost but filled me with wonder and curiosity. Now, I intend to watch all of your lecture videos in order while following a textbook. Now that I have time to study on my own, I really want a solid Org. Chem. understanding. (I've picked up a good amount from learning about pharmacology for my whole life. In a different world, I'd have studied psychopharmacology). I hope to pivot to engineering medical devices later on. Thank you so much for making these videos.

Was actually thinking of pulling off a comprehensive series of tutorials for high school - undergrad and beyond like this on organic chemistry but seems you are doing a really good job and beat me too it. Good job man :)

Just found these after I finished my required organic chemistry classes, but they're still super useful to maintain skills for undergrad research. Very glad to have more resources!

yes yes yes!!! I was just looking for some organic chemistry education and you're probably going to be one of the best and quickest to get us through it.

Really enjoying your content! I'm using as extension work to keep me going during GCSEs while waiting for my A Level chem course to start next year

Awesome content, this helped answer a few questions i had regarding chemistry, yes, so thank you! years ago curiousity led me to spend a whole ten cents at a thrift store which i bought a organic chemistry textbook from 1953!it was simple enough to aid in understanding organic chemistry, then i bought a textbook that was published recently, and jesus! what a difference-the confusion was justified with how much more information was included. (both introductory first year books).so far i am into it some 4.10$.and so it goes.

I got REALLY excited about chemistry late last fall when I hear Explosions&Fire on Hamilton Morris’ podcast. I looked around for some thoroughly educational content online but couldn’t find any. As soon as RU-vid recommended me your video on forbidden smells, and it sounded like it was part of a whole fucking series about organic chemistry I subscribed immediately. I’m so excited to work these videos into my daily routine and start learning about organic chemistry because the little bit I know absolutely fascinates me. THANK YOU! ❤️

Finally, I studied chemestry years ago, this could have been so helpful

Salute for making this. Should have many more views.

Functional groups are just any repeating group of atoms in a molecule so OH in C2H5OH is an alcohol functional group but you can also split it into CH3-CH2OH which is hydroxymethyl group connected to methyl group.

Im a kid trying to learn what chemistry is and hopefully your vids will help me

very much informative....thanks for creating such a channel on organic chemistry.

gonna start watching this playlist and see if I wanna commit to a bachelor's in chemistry

Gotta relearn all of orgo chem in a month for this PCAT. Thank you sir!🙇‍♂️

i always draw my benzene with the 3 double bounds instead of the weird circle.. always found it easier to draw and nicer looking

I love it!! Thank you so much!

If you're studying for the MCAT watching this, the carbamate mentioned in the video is the hottest low yield topic functional group they like to ask about now. Same with indole and tryptophan

2:29 I like physical chem explanations of reactions I think I'll check out that book!

Love it! Thank you so much!

Taking orgo this fall but I want to get a head start so thank you so much for these videos !

I was wondering where are IOC1-12 at red version TC. As a PhD student, I find I start to lose my big picture about OC after a ton of trivial experiments, and this is great chance to refresh my memory. Thanks for your videos!

I used to hate chem cause of the way they taught me in school. Considered dropping chem in 11th but your videos have made me fall in love with chemistry. not even joking I’ve kinda decided that I want to study something-chem as a subject for college. I’d always been a math-physics person, but chemistry is my fav. Thank you!!

Yeah, for some reason at college we were only taught about alkanes, haloalkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, amines, amides, phenyl compounds, diazo compounds, organic nitrates, and diazonium chloride compounds. We never learned about alkynes, ethers, cycloalkenes, heterocycles aliphatic or aromatic, thiols, thioesters, dithioesters, imines, imides, oximes, nitriles, isonitriles, cyanates, isocyanates, azides, diazides, nitrosomines, organic peroxides, organic nitrites, organic nitrosyls, organic phosphorous, boron, selenium or arsenic compounds or whatever C-N=O is, or C-N=N-C, C-N=N-O-C, C-N=N-OH, C=N-N=C, C-NH-N=C, C-NH-NH-C, C-NC-NC2 or C-NC-NH-C is... But if it's C-O-SO2-OH instead of C-SO2-OH, that's an organic sulphate instead of a sulphonic acid, so H3C-SO2-OH would be methyl sulphonic acid, but H3C-O-SO2-OH would be methyl sulphate, and H3C-O-SO2-O-CH3 would be dimethyl sulphate. And C-O-SO-OH would be organic sulphite, right? Like, H3C-SO-OH would be methyl sulphinic acid, but H3C-O-SO-OH would be methyl sulphite, and H3C-O-SO-O-CH3 would be dimethyl sulphite, right? Also, 3HC-SO2-O-CH3 would be methyl methylsulphonate and 3HC-SO-O-CH3 would be methyl methylsulphinate.

Very helpful video even though i knew almost all of it, great video format also

dude.. this was absolutely terrific ^__^ I've been wondering how to best understand the structures or geometrical makeup in chemistry (visually and also, adjusting the prefixes/suffixes for the compounds at hand)..the course I picked up [for fun-siezC:] was..well, let me not attribute the following to the course itself.. my learning was significantly disjointed due to my starting the semester a wk /two wks late..&basically, I found that in order for me to truly comprehend whatever concept we had for the week, I had to actually zero-in and focus [sHoCkEr, I know :p]. not to mention that so much of introductory chem concepts/objectives tend to lend way to one another [prob a constant throughout chem, but I wouldn't know yet :p]. I'd skip around the chapters in an effort to make it in time for the upcoming quiz/exam but that didn't quite work out for me the way I had hoped, haha. >__< I'd drop the little bit of progress I'd made in order to cram the current ish the class was on, and at the end of it all, I'd be left with two incomplete concepts just kinda chillin in my brain. :/ Fortunately, I've saved most of the material and I have my txtbook..the plan is to make my way thru the material as was intended and take the course again just to test my own merit.. -but it's been a semester! &I'd just like a 'change of scenery', more or less.. then enters your vid! This has already done so much for me, like, in seeing how things actually apply or look like.. I've found that instead of broad concepts, I need an actual valid profile to get traits n shit to stick. Your tier-list vids are perfect examples of such! *"Which Solvent is the Best?"* is paaacked with such great information! (I think that may have been my introduction to you?) Anyway, I'm super stoked to make my way through the playlist ^__^ &sorry for such an extended comment. I just felt that perhaps adding some context regarding the up's n' down's of this recent semester might help to convey the ~ extent ~ of my gratitude and relief for finding such a well put-together source of material. If there's one thing I've definitely become more aware of, it's just how much of a skill teaching really is. ^__^ also {last bit!}, not sure where you currently stand on the twitch thing , but would totally be up for catching you on stream ^__^ I think there's definitely some potential there even if only a few ppl come around. For now, I'll peep discord tho. :) Thanks again for your contribution! I sincerely do appreciate it. Your effort's don't go unnoticed. :)) -EC

i had to check nothing disconected at 0:51 lol (edit: i knew it wasnt my speaker by 0:59 )

5:57 the tertiary carbanion hurts my soul 😂

Could you please explain the diffetence between amines and amides :) i don't really get the nomenclature of NH2 groups...

I thought the benzene ring on the left bottom meant something haha

I always call furan the cupcake molecule

indoles are great!

Glyphosate was getting a suspiciously large amount of good press for ages for some reason.. 😉

I would very much like to know the syntheses for obtaining benzodiazepines. Reagents, P and T ° conditions and any catalysts. Thanks for the lessons.

I'm a kid in 6th grade learning chemistry because I want to experiment with my knowledge

Ik im wrong here but why is the ester in the carbamate not a carboxylic acid

Don't you find it strange that they changed the spelling of sulphur to sulfur but still kept phosphorus instead of changing it to fosforus?

In tetraerthylamonium, why is it positively charged? The carbon attaches to the lone pair somehow, but when does the nitrogen lose an electron.

19:10 Speaking of which: are there any methods that one could use for detecting this substance?

Can you post your slides online?

I am debating on whether i want to change my declared major from Biochemistry to certified chemist. I love the idea of medicinal chemistry and biological processes, But I am falling deeply in love with chemistry in general. I think a more in depth degree would serve me better.

Are you still plan to do research now or you shift your focus more on education?

Is the slide presentation of this lectures available? I am interested to have a copy for my lecture in the undergraduate program.

why propanal aldehyde and methyl imine has H? It is implicit, right?

At some point when you are teaching basics, please talk about the confusing concept of "electro-negativity". As used by chemists, an "electro-negative" group is one that attracts electrons. Why would a negative group attract a negative particle? And they say "electronegative groups have a large electron affinity". Again implying that negatives attract each other.

0:57 thats his discord not yours

You used to call me on my sulfone...

Is this the same "That chemist"?

"it's called an ether because there's a carbon on *either* side" 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yo I take prozac
