How did you do? I'd love to hear your proposals for next week's mechanism so drop them down below! Subscribe for more chemistry content, and hit the notification bell to stay updated! #ScienceCommunity #MechanismMonday #OrganicChemistry
I'm not a chemist, but I find your lessons very educational, and chemistry is something I've had an interest in for a while. Maybe I'll go to school for it at some point
That's so great to hear! Fun fact, I didn't go back to college until I was 24 and graduate school until I was 28. I had a friend getting his Ph.D. in chemistry that started in his 30s. It's never too late! I'm glad you're here!
Hey there! The Algorithm Gods sent me this video after I looked up a lot of organic mechanisms online haha. As a student in the 12th grade, these mechanisms are really helping me out. I try figuring them out on my own like you said but this time I got halfway through sadly, gets kinda demotivating. Not to sound like every chem student out there but do you have any advice for learning organic chem?
Haha. Praise the algorithm! I’m so glad you’re here. I am so impressed that a 12th grader would even want to learn organic chemistry. I have a ton of organic videos that should be helpful, each with practice problems to test your understanding. At Georgia Tech in the US, we use the organic chemistry book by Klein, the 3rd edition. I have no doubt that if you keep going and testing yourself, you’re going to be an excellent scientist!
Stay tuned for next week to find out! Also, random ? I also learned the term “olefin” but it’s since been replaced by “alkene” and I’m curious where you learned it!
Hmm next week's vaguely reminds me of a robinson annulation analog- Michael addition, intramolecular ring forming reaction... not sure how I'd go about it to form a nitrogen heterocycle though

I like your very clear videos, mechanisms are well explained, thanks !
I’m so glad to hear you found value in the videos! Thank you so much for the kind words!

Oh, next week’s looks cool! I see the Michael addition but what comes next?
Great insight! Definitely in the right track!

Michael addition of amine, proton transfer enol tautomerization, intramolecular imine condensation, then an elimination reaction to form the olefin.

@rojaslab oh that's what my ochem teacher would call alkenes. I guess it kinda stuck around

Sounds like you’re on the right track! I bet if you tried drawing it out you could figure out the key!
