Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

By covering the carbon carbon bond mechanism, this video also reviews the enol and enolate ion and the keto-enol tautomerism. Sal uses an aldehyde in the example, but a ketone could be used as well. As with all of the other videos, Sal reviews the resonance groups, electron behavior, nucleophilic attack, and the by-products.
