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....

The chemical process of catalysis happens in a myriad of places in our modern world - from industry to inside your cells. Our knowledge of catalysis today springs from Elizabeth Fulhame, who over 225 years ago became the first person to...

We get it, learning so many different organic reactions is probably giving you a headache, but hopefully this episode can help! We’re getting even deeper into carboxylic acid derivatives, some of which are used in common headache...

A substance that removes oxygen from, or donates electrons to, another substance during a reaction.

For centuries, humans have been extracting metals from molten ores. Today, the basic technique remains the same, but how does extraction work? Chemistry - Reactions - Learning Points. Metals can be extracted from rocks if they are heated...

Introduction to Reductions & Sodium Borohydride (Theory & Problems)

Mixture of Reduction Practice Problems in OCHEM

Corrin/B12 Biochemistry: Cobalamin Adenosyltransferase

We know about a lot of different oxidizing and reducing agents that facilitate a variety of different transformations. But we haven't touched upon the precise transformation that can be achieved by diisobutylaluminum hydride, also known...

Lesson on Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), metabolic pathways that require vitamin C, dietary sources of vitamin C, and the physiology of absorption and metabolism of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is required...

For this one we need to know the ability of different reducing agents to react with various functional groups.

We've got starting material and we've got a target molecule, and we've gotta figure out how to make the transformation in just two steps. Sift through that bag of synthetic tricks!

We know about redox reactions, and we even learned how to balance them under both acidic and basic conditions. Time for a quiz! Balance this redox reaction.

We've learned about electrochemistry and electrochemical cells, especially galvanic or voltaic cells. And we learned about standard reduction potentials associated with a variety of substances. Given some data, can you calculate the cell...

It's now time to dig into some olefination reactions, which generate olefins, or alkenes. The first is the McMurry reaction. It involves some rather mysterious titanium chemistry, via a mechanism that is not fully understood. Let's check...

Strong Reductions using Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LAH)

It describes the two steps of extraction- conversion of oxide and reduction of oxide to metal.

It explains about Redox reactions in terms of electron transfer reactions.

Which thing gets oxidized, the oxidizing agent? No wait, that's what gets reduced, or is it the reducing agent? Ahh! Stupid binary concepts! OK, settle down. Watch this clip and learn everything you need to know about electron transfer.

Defining oxidation and reduction in the context of organic chemistry, and introducing common oxidizing and reducing agents.

It explains the redox reaction on the basis of titrations. It discusses about permanganametry, dichrometry and Iodometry
