Thanks for making this! You've made it quite clear and answered all the questions I had about this till now.

I just had my final this week. and I wanted to thank you for all your video. I literally just watched all these videos and ended up doing so well on the final. I hope you continue doing this. Thank you so much.

Wow, that's awesome! So happy to hear my videos helped you out. Good luck with your future finals and academic career!

Sir, could you please make a video on the abnormal riemer tiemann reaction or ciamician dennstedt rearrangement

Those are rather specific reactions which are not typically covered in an into organic chemistry course. I might make a video on those in the future, but not any time soon.

Great video, professor! Thank you so much. Would you happen to have any tips for experimentally doing a wittig reaction? I tried it with potassium tert-butoxide as the base, PPh3MeBr and a cyclohexanone analogue, but only got ~10% yield, and it only progressed with a large excess of base which lead to the formation of several aldol side-products.

tBuOK is not nearly strong enough to sufficiently deprotonate it. You need something much stronger, preferably BuLi which is easy to prepare if it’s not commercially available for you. If you don’t feel comfortable working with BuLi, you can use KH to deprotonate DMSO and use that as an effective base to yank that proton off your salt. When working with non-stabilized ylides, keep in mind, they are brightly colored (orange to red), so you’ll know you’ve made your ylide if your solution turns deep red.

Thank you so much, professor. Will do. One last thing, what good piece of literature on the reaction would you recommend studying? @@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor

Shout out to the 30 year old yilde. His parents must be proud! Jokes aside, thanks for the video.
