    As some of you are not synthesis wizards (yet), I figured the beginners might like this basic but more visual video.
    Let me know if this was helpful or if I'm the only one who likes seeing twisting molecules.
    Thanks for following and supporting my channel!

    Dam this is the most detailed description of an Sn2 reaction I don’t know why it’s not explained like this in school.

      @@totalsynthesis yes like undergrad o-chem 1-2 and advanced organic chemistry, advanced organic synthesis. Really go into detail and in order of how it’s taught in university at least for o-chem 1-2. if it’s even close to the quality of your current videos you’ll be getting a whole lot of new subscribers every semester I’d definitely watch them even though I’ve already graduated lol. I really think you could hit 100000 subs pretty easily if you branch out to organic chemistry tutorials as well as your current videos.

      @@onespeedbjj3846 This is some great motivational fuel. It's kinda what I though about - in addition to keeping up my more exotic and advanced videos - although I always feared the undergrad stuff is pretty "saturated" with many videos who (I never really watched them myself) I thought explain it already sufficiently. Thanks, I'll keep going!

      @@totalsynthesis i apologize for my ridiculous comments in the past. It is a poor character trait where I sometimes reflect perceived absurdity with absurdity. Please continue at the current level. I graduated in 1980 with a chemistry degree from the university of Iowa, but continued with a degree and career in Aeronautics. In my retirement, I am trying to renew my interest and love of chemistry, but I see many new terms+concepts. I also study GUTCP (Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics) for 30 years as a hobby. A mix of quantum mechanics and cosmology. I promise to be a better student from now on 👍

      @@totalsynthesis I subscribe to other chemistry channels, but this is the only one that dives into the mechanics+physics of reactions. Which is my main interest. So, I am very grateful for/to you. In my view, we are at a time where this is going to become of increasing importance+concern, because IMHO, and I know you are hesitant in this regard, Dr. Mills of Millsian software and BLP is going to single handedly obliterate SQM/MQM and replace the last 100 years of chemistry+physics with sanity: real practical understandable sensible views on science realities. Using only classical physics. And it won't be easy. The whole scientific community will resist for obvious reasons.
