I appreciate the work you put into these videos, unfortunately i still suck at organic lol.

Hey Professor Dave! Thanks so much for all your help with Orgo 1 and 2 this year! Your concept videos were awesome. Wouldn't have been able to get though it successfully without your help!

Whenever I need a little brush up of any concept ,your videos help me out Good job pro

Only part of organic chemistry that dare I call, “fun”

This is like a top down approach, you start from the finished product, and derive its components.

thank u sir...really appreciated ur vid....its goin to help me in my xms...

very beautiful….. do you have other videos like this? With much more complex molecules?

Your videos help a lot..Thank you so much.

Professor Dave finds lots of " medicinal" compounds in nature.

this is really helpful,thanks as I did not understand this in wikipedia and quora thanks!!😁😁👍👍

love it so much, so helpfull thank you from Indonesia

Can you do an excercise to obtain a heterocycle compound? Thanks for your content

Thank you sir ...for helping me out

thank you so much

Can you do retrosynthesis for aldol condensation reactions?

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Have you ever considered doing meet and greets in CA professor Dave? Love your videos!!

Which book is best for retro synthesis please advise sir

For the first reaction, should we use MgCl? When you radically halogenate the propyl group with Br, it is more selective for the secondary carbon and that would yield a different product. We should use Cl because there is only a negligible difference between the selection of a primary vs secondary carbon??

i'm not sure what you're asking, if it's for the grignard one, from the starting material we use PBr3 to go from alcohol to alkyl bromide, so there is no radical halogenation.

You're the best...understood

You are a super hero!!!

Its really helpful......

Thanks!

sir ,could you please post a video on synthesis of peptides by sheehan's method

I have a restrosynthetic synthesis exam can you help me with some links that could guide me please

Thank you Sir for this information

could we just react the DB at 6:30 ish with 2 equivalents of O3 to create two ketone groups and turn those into alcohols with NaBH4 to create our alcohols?

Pls give me the name of refrance book for parcticing retrosynthetic analysis........

Thank you so much sr♥️♥️♥️

Sir what is the synthetic equivalent of co groups tell me

And also, why do we need to use PCC if the grignard reagent already kicks out the double bond with the O--thus making it OH??

@ProfessorDaveExplains

again not sure i understand, PCC is needed to go from ethanol to ethanal. remember that the retrosynthetic arrows are not forward arrows, they go backwards, each arrow leads to the precursor of what you're looking at, so the alcohol came before the aldehyde, it's not that we are reducing an aldehyde to the alcohol.

thanks

Why couldn't just start the first one as 1-pentene and reacted that with H20 and H2SO4?

it says starting from molecules with three carbons or less!

Is there a good place to drill these practice problems? I've taken a look at your practice problem videos. I've also searched and found some practice sheets, but they aren't really enough for me. Is there a site or app that would give me problem after problem for me to practice?

Hi there genius! Please help me solve a query in organic chemistry.... Please... "RUTIN" or "Rutoside" is a bioflavonoid with the formula C27-H30-O16, it is found in plants like Buckwheat and eucalyptus.. My question is.. " Is it possible to manufacture "RUTIN" synthetically in a lab? without actually using the plant extracts.

I'm sure it is possible, we can synthesize almost anything, but I'm not good enough a synthetic chemist to come up with a pathway for something like that.
