Cysteine Catabolism to Pyruvate

We've learned about a variety of different unstable carbon species, like carbocations, carbanions, and carbon radicals. But there is one more to know, carbenes. These are carbon atoms with two bonds and two nonbonding electrons. They...

In this video, we explore the mechanism of allopurinol, a drug used in the treatment of gouty arthritis.

The nugget discusses chemical and physical properties of alkenes and lists the uses of alkenes.

Learning how to assign absolute configuration (R/S) to any stereocenter.

Grignard Reactions: Theory & Practice with Strategy

Pi-backbonding with Strong-Field Ligands

Who couldn't use a little practice balancing equations? If you've seen my tutorial outlining how to do this, then you're ready for four rapid fire examples to make sure you're ready to do this on your own. Give them a shot!

In this video we will look at some different structures of butane - so they all have 4 carbons but just arranged differently.



We will also look at the the 5 different isomers for hexane - they all have 6 carbons...

Carbon dioxide is a product of one of the most important chemical reactions in the world: combustion. Combustion is how a lot of people in the world heat their homes and power their cars. It also unfortunately contributes to the...

The Nef reaction is a good way to convert nitronates into carbonyl compounds. This is a technique that can be incorporated into a strategy called "Umpolung", which refers to a reversal of polarity, such that upon converting from the...

This is the introduction to the Functional Group concept - giving an oversight about Organic Chemistry, the composition of Alkenes.

It explains multiple chemical reactions of haloalkanes with examples.

It explains anomalous behavior of carbon. Also talks about allotropes of carbon such as diamond, graphite & fullerenes. Explains uses of carbon.

This video provides an explanation on how to balance chemical equations using examples of simple word equations. It explains the importance of multipliers and subscripts in chemical equations and demonstrates how to use them to balance...

Learn the basics about allotropes of metalloids and metals, as a part of the overall properties of matter topic. An allotrope is basically a different form of the same element, each with distinct physical and chemical properties. For...

Learn the basics about the shapes of simple molecules, when learning about properties of matter. In reality the shapes of simple molecules are 3-D molecules and should be visualised as such. Imagine now the central carbon atom surrounded...
