  • With reference to SN1 reactions the part about "racemic" is incorrect. Where asymmetric products are produced there is usually a slight excess of one enantiomer. See "Weinstein."

  • While you are technically correct, there is not an undergraduate school in the US that would ask a student to know that. For undergraduates, SN1 = racemic.

  • you guys totally forgot about the extra hydrogen on ethanol that has to be deprotonated for the product to be formed...look at 2:15 to see what I am talking about.

  • This video made my Organic chemistry class a bit more entertaining:)

  • only thing good..is the intro tune !

    looneey tunes :D

  • @ochem9 Not true. And why would you bother learning a half-fact?

  • It will be more helpful to concentrate if there is actual human voice rather than that crap music

  • @ochem9 I wish you were right; we have to know it for organic classes at the University of Georgia

  • star wars music?

  • @icefist101 The last music played is "Breathe" by "The Prodigy".

  • hey anyone know the name of the song played at the end?

  • ya thats true about racemic part thats incorrect and they forgot about hydrogen extra thats showing in there

  • awful audio, or is that just me? I'm getting really bad quality for most of the video... :-S
