The Diels-Alder & Other Pericyclic Reactions: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #42

Going out in the sun can work wonders for your mood, but unfortunately too much UV exposure can do serious damage to your DNA. This damage occurs through a type of organic reaction called a pericyclic reaction. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll explore pericyclic reactions to see how the sun can both give us life, and hurt us, and also look at other important pericyclic reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction.

It is amazing to me how this channel is going into greater depth than my 1st semester of organic chemistry did. I've begun to truly believe that enough effort on the internet could be equivalent to a bachelor's degree

[@Pfhorrest]

“Otto Diels” sounds like he should be a used car salesman (“auto deals”).

[@kate28bravewatermelons84]

Organic chemistry seems unending 🙃

[@ladidakalana2202]

such an amazing channel..wish they made more detailed video>..PLEASEE it could be a lifesaver🤩🤩🤩

[@vivianbechtiger423]

Hii can you make episodes on nitrogen compounds, and biomolecules (lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates)?

[@safeside7231]

Hey Crash Course how are you? Please after all the school subject videos can you start making videos about careers, certifications home improvement for example: how to become HVAC or Electrician how to replace bathroom tiles, play basketball etc. so people can come here and can get a crash course on anything

[@amityboy14mo]

THANK YOU! This is 4th year CHEMISTRY!

[@freeguy4all]

This takes me back to my university days wish your videos were available back then would have made some sort of sense

“Even though this series is trying to cover the basics”
I am done…

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

Oh my! Number of electrons divisible by 4 means one directional... If multiples of 4 plus 2 means another direction still.. Shriek! I'm having flashbacks to a time of great difficulty, before I had my albeit often intermittent foundation upon which I may rely today. Nice.

This series is catching up to The Simpsons in episodes

[@jorgebonifaz7530]

How many videos does this series have?

[@A_Random_Rat]

Welp. This is the first time watching a crash course series and being left with an unfinished course because of how new it is. :(

[@bluebird5173]

Does the Diels-Alder reaction have anything to do with Alden's number?
