6:55 "so what's gonna happen here? ..I'LL tell you" lmaooooooooooo idk why that made me crack up

[@pegs9951]

Saaaame

[@petevenuti7355]

See my comment.... I could see a spoof made from this video by strategic clipping of his words to make some really badass dialog! You might say his tone doesn't fit, wouldn't work, but I think the relaxed tone would just give the impression of being both cavalier and amused by a stressful situation(if that's the kind of dialog you edit together).

[@senny-]

Yeah, i like how it feels like he's letting us in to a favorite little secret that he knows.

[@alinamoreno9235]

thank you for teaching what my professor is supposed to be teaching... self-teaching organic thru online classes is hard :/

[@prajjwalsharma1441]

True 🥲

[@avbalimane]

You mi

[@yessir1400]

did you make it?

[@Jojo-kl6tx]

Dude, you are AWESOME. Thank you so much. We wrote it down kinda weird in the lecture, so I really couldn't figure the steps out by myself. Your videos are always a great help.☺

[@forouqam]

Thankyou thank you it is perfect , I hope anywhere you are , be happy as much as you make us happy 😊🌸THANK YOU AGAIN 💙

[@jessicazwilling7456]

Ahhhhmazing how you simplify everything. Orgo is not so scary after all.

[@rebeccaly]

Thank you!! You make it so much easier to understand!

[@rajaroychoudhuri7451]

Favoulus explanation deserves to be best organic chemistry tutor

[@maheradan8050]

Wow thank you, we're going through that now.

[@radicalpisces]

does the butyl propyl ether not have an extra carbon since the last two electrons should leave with the bromine?

[@SonuKumar-me7sw]

I'm an IIT JEE aspirant and your video is best for it 😀❤️

[@saki7952]

Thank you sir. Would you mind uploading frequency distribution table problems Mathematics.

[@mahmoudtony6905]

Thank you sir you're awsome ......would you upload the marvelous carbohydrates video please?

[@allyqi8062]

for the part at 7:54, why does it happen again? Thank you!

[@senny-]

thanks as always, man

[@jesusmrosario-claudio4104]

Thank you once again.

[@hanupawandwivedi6613]

Nice explanation

[@abasabdul_salamaliqulijan1433]

thank you for teaching

[@islamicbrotherhood9574]

But i think rate of ether synthesis should not be affected by structure of alkoxide...as it has to attack the position and bulkiness of halide will determine the major product

[@BeanJuan]

At 16:16 is that a major product of the reaction along side the cyclo molecule at the end?

[@abduelrahmanelmaghraby2926]

Hey prof. I wanna play vid of alcohol & ether and epoxide reaction but they can't be played ... So what should I do..,?!

[@maxcozzini1604]

During the intramolecular reaction, why was the bromide atom kicked off carbon 6?

[@mackfieldgeorge]

I don't know what I would do without you 🤧😂

[@literally_ganyu]

fail probably

[@lukekeegan2374]

Is this applicable for diphenyl ethers any help appreciated

[@lukeke235]

would this be possible to produce diphenyl ethers

[@rawanayyash3547]

thank youuuuuuu!!!!

[@ageunggiffarigozali3390]

@ 1:59 It should be "most alcohols are MORE basic than phenol" right ? Since greater pKa means weak acid and thus a better base ?

[@petevenuti7355]

Good catch! I felt something didn't sound right there, I had to look it up though...

[@nejimahmed2201]

Thanks a lot...

[@mohamedstes5800]

At about 2:20 you say hydroxide is strong eneough to deprotonate a phenol but not to deprotonate 1-butanol. Dont you mean water or H2O? Or am i mistaken?

[@user-vh4jn4vv8e]

Please make videos on classical and quantum mechanics. A request to you sir.

[@jujua9431]

13:10 how can I know if the alkene will be cis or trans?

[@ebrahimrampuri3690]

It depends with E2 reactions. For E2 reactions, Beta hydrogen, and leaving group have to be anti-periplanar which can give us cis alkene. However, usually, the more stable alkene formed is E alkene where largest groups are trans to each other.

@15:09 What did Sodium say to Bromine at the club when he tried to hit on her ? NaBr = (Nah Bro)

[@yvainestelmack7196]

Two boys were fighting in class about whose girlfriend was best.
Boy 1: Your girlfriend stinks!
Boy 2: Well unlike yours mine's not an atom with 67 protons!

Example of Williamson synthesis

[@user-ey3yn6vu8o]

I love you

[@michaeldepauw7446]

At 14:45, you have an error. The H- ion is generally considered a very poor nucleophile and will not act in the way you describe. I love your videos and find them very useful for sharing with my students, but I thought you'd want to maybe correct that little mistake. Thanks!

[@keqiangpan5661]

i do rate you for boosintg me
