The Power of Peer Pressure: The Asch Conformity Experiment
The video discusses Solomon Asch's conformity experiment, which explored the power of peer pressure to influence our perception and behavior. The experiment found that many people conform to the majority, even when they know it's wrong,...

Fischer Indole Synthesis
We've talked about a few heterocycles, but one important aromatic one we didn't mention is the indole. This is a component of a variety of biomolecules. So how can we make them? Nobel prize winner Emil Fischer developed the Fischer...

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...

Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation
We just learned how to make lactams out of cyclic ketones, is there a similar way that we can make lactones? There is! Try the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. This is another one of those rearrangement type of reactions, only this time we are...

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...

How the Keto Diet Went from Arctic Staple to Bro-Science
The keto diet is a high fat, low carb diet that proponents say is not just great for losing weight, but is good for your brain health, too. Does the science behind the diet back those claims up? We delve into the origin of the keto diet...

Making raspberry perfume
In this video, I get a bit back into making compounds with odors and scents. I chose to go with Raspberry Ketone, because I thought it was an interesting molecule and the synthesis seemed fun. However, in the future, I think I'm going to...

Schmidt Reaction
Wanna make an amide out of a ketone? Try the Schmidt reaction! It's got azides, it's got really neat concerted rearrangements, it's got diazoiminium intermediates, it has it all! Let's check out the mechanism, implications, and...
