19.3 Introduction to Nucleophilic Addition of Ketones and Aldehydes | Organic Chemistry

In this lesson Chad provides an introduction to the general mechanism and result of Nucleophilic Addition to aldehydes and ketones. He also explains the reasons behind the general trend in the reactivity of aldehydes and ketones: formaldehyde more reactive than aldehydes more reactive than ketones.
Finally, Chad presents the hydration of aldehydes and ketones reaction including both the base-catalyzed mechanism and the acid-catalyzed mechanism.

I just wanna say that I owe you my life. YOU ARE MY CHEM TEACHER, the way you teach is so simple and understanding. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it, karina - Happy Studying!

I love the free outlines you give on your website, it really helps with focusing on your lecture rather than just trying to catch up with the notes. I know they are not finished for all videos, but I just wanted to note my appreciation. I would love to buy the course, but I'm a broke boy (sad). Keep doing what your doing man, I love you.

As always Chad's videos are best. Easy less time consuming while understanding

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it, kaushi!

Chad is a Chad in organic chem, thank you so much!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome.

[@Lailahbirabwa]

Thanks for this video. I take a hybrid class, and RUclips videos like these have helped tremendously.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're very welcome!

I found this channel recently and I have to say, being primarily a you tube student for the better part of four years, this guy is fucking good. Dives straight into the concept and makes it relatively easy to understand.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you found us!

[@christianlabasan3663]

Great videos, you have helped me out a lot in my ochem classes. Thank you!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it, C.L. - You're welcome!

[@gaeldilamh2572]

At 11:04, the water is a good leaving group, so what's the difference between the priority level of the water leaving vs deprotonation?

[@HasaliKaushalya]

Thank you 🥺❤️

[@ChadsPrep]

You’re welcome 😊

[@elizabethreyna8354]

Is the estability due to hyperconjugation ?

[@Czar_Char]

yes
