Chemoselectivity and Protecting Groups: Crash Course Organic Chemistry
Things have been getting more and more complicated here in Crash Course Organic Chemistry, and as we deal with more complex molecules, parts of molecules we don’t want to react will start reacting along with the parts that we do....

Retrosynthesis and Liquid-Liquid Extraction: Crash Course Organic Chemistry
As we construct more complex organic molecules, it can start to feel like decrypting a complex code. Organic synthesis takes simple starting materials, and turns them into complex structures, and reverse engineering can help us figure...

Nomenclature - Crash Course Chemistry
Ever feel like there's a international team of bad guys changing all of the easily remembered chemical names and turning them into test-failing, number-infused, pain in the neck names? Well... you're not wrong. IUPAC exists but try to...

Chain & Positional Isomerism: Same Formula, Different Shape!
Chain and positional isomerism are types of structural isomerism in organic chemistry, where compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures. In chain isomerism, the carbon backbone differs in branching; for example,...

Cleavage of Carbon-Carbon Bonds With Periodic Acid
Just as important as learning reactions that generate carbon-carbon bonds, we need ways to cleave carbon-carbon bonds as well.This is useful for splitting a molecule up into fragments, or transforming a cyclic molecule into a linear...

The Haloform Reaction
Once again, we will be interested in learning about reactions that break carbon-carbon bonds, as this will allow us to perform necessary transformations on substrates. The haloform reaction is one such reaction, and it is commonly used...

Beckmann Rearrangement
Have you ever had a ketone and wished you had an amide instead? Not to worry! The Beckmann rearrangement is the solution to your problems. Check out this nifty reaction where we get an oxime and then get an alkyl group to migrate. We can...
