BIOLOGY - Environment - Carbon Cycle part 2
Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun. As living things grow, they have to build up large polymer molecules from small molecules. Protein comes from joining amino acids together,...

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...

Carbenes Part 2: Cyclopropanation, C-H Insertion, and the Bamford-Stevens Reaction
In the previous tutorial we learned about carbenes. So now that we understand their properties, we are ready to learn about what we can do with them. Three major uses of carbenes involve cyclopropanation, C-H insertion, and the...

Favorskii Rearrangement
It's the Favorskii rearrangement, a method of ring contraction! This reaction utilizes cyclopropane intermediates and is super neat. Need to make your ring one carbon smaller? Try the Favorskii rearrangement!
Professor Dave Explains
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...
