Alcohols

[9496728007]

I think its legit to name the second compound as 2,2 dibromooct -3 -yne-5-ol

[UlsterOrange]

In Europe at least this video would be incorrect. You count carbons from the shortest possible end.

For instance with 2-pentanol, the correct labels are: 1 2 3 2 1

not: 5 4 3 2 1

Use this for an A-Level/O-Level/International and Euro-baccalaureates and you WILL get the question wrong.

[stevenhelock]

@UlsterOrange No, international as in IUPAC naming is not like that. I don't know what "international" rules you're talking about...

[UlsterOrange]

@stevenhelock

International baccalaureate examinations.

[UlsterOrange]

Alcohol is a mild poison too hard illegalise thanks to it's abundance.

[Ponnyboy555]

Actually it is 2,2-dibromo-oct-3-yn-5-ol. ))) But great videos! Greetings from Czech Republic )))

[Amina9871]

this might do it in a more indirect way XD....funny and helpful

[simysimss]

This is a great video

[bribribri56]

love the video man

[SargentLimpDick]

Love the videos. Thanks to you I can prepare for my AP Chem class next year. =)

[goldensilverstar]

"Name this beast right here" lol wot the fuck?

[goldensilverstar]

THE TWO GUYS WITH THE TOP RATED COMMENTS HAVE NO FUCKIN LIFE, WHY TORTURE URSELF?

[amg703]

@goldensilverstar i was thinking the same omg

[SargentLimpDick]

@goldensilverstar To some knowledge of how things work on a molecular level is not torture. If you think there is something wrong with enjoying these videos, I think there's something wrong with you.

[skutekittens]

'name this beast' .. rofl.. this guys is kicks

[CloudThrillR]

what programs do you use in your presentations?

[TheVortexLord]

@CloudThrillR That just looks like paint...

[babygurl25392]

y subtitiles? u speak perfect clear english

[WalauDark]

OMFG i got a test tomorrow and i was sooo DESPERATE until i saw your video!!!!

nice work !!

[Aryan45812]

are these videos that much good to prepare for iit-jee???....do reply...

[TheLonghairraven]

Can you make a video for oxidation and dehydration of alcohol? Thanks.

[789123Y]

I accidentally drank methanol when i was 5, it blinded me for 2 weeks.

[TheLonghairraven]

@789123Y I thought the blindness is permenant as it does cause optic nerve damage!!!

[789123Y]

@789123Y No, blindness is not always permanent.

[silvenflame]

could the second chemical be 2,2-dibromooct-3-yn-5-ol instead of 7,7-dibromooct-5-yn-4-ol? or maybe since the hydroxyl functional group takes precedence, the last number needs to be the lowest?

[camilagace]

Your videos are much easier than listening to my teacher. Vary Informative. ThankS:D

[enantiomerremoitnane]

Love your videos! There would also be stereochemistry on "the beast"

Sincerely,

That guy

[fuclcjewtube]

doing METH wont kill you

[TheMonaMonster]

you teach WAAAAY better than my lame chem teacher. i wish you were my teacher...

[cory1thackston]

3:39 is he speaking GERMAN?!

[capodttcapo]

it might kill u indirect ways.. funny guy

[rsoderling30]

"Let's, let's try to name this... beast right here."

[MrZulkarnine]

i wish you are my lecturer

[CorporationLulz]

@MrZulkarnine You mean: "I wish you were my lecturer."

[frangelo92]

sir, could it be in your second example,,the answer is 7,7-dibromo-4-hydroxyoctyne.. really thanks if it would be checked plsss...

[asddsa76]

1:18 You do not want to drink methanol! You may not want to drink ethanol either...

[will8831]

best teacher ever lol.

[TheDGFproductions]

it might KILLL you

[FortNikitaBullion]

Are there any other alcohols besides ethanol that you can drink?

[odaymustdie]

@FortNikitaBullion No - Ethanol is the least dangerous (too much causes liver damage and other problems). Anything else is simply lethal.

[Mattprole]

Thank God. I thought for a second that this would be the video analogy to a drunk phone call. Great stuff of course ~_~

[gmfrederik]

@Mattprole and yet you watched it

[PopArt]

I'm in a completely unrelated field, but I enjoy these lessons on my lunch breaks. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!

[MonaRocks09]

@PopArt omg why would yo do this to yourself

[SpacySpaceCadet]

Love your videos> I'm not even taking organic chemistry yet , and I still enjoy watching them .

[Dig2GoldZ]

Thanks! I was learning stuff about alcohols today and you so happen to post a video about it =]

[hemant1993]

wow funny

[norwayte]

Good AND funny. :-)
