Reaction Mechanisms / Organic Reactivity - THE BASICS (I)

- Use of Arrows (electron transfer)
- Electrophiles / Nucleophiles
- Basic Alkene Mechanism (Carbocations/Intermediate) Go to 5:00 for this.
Look at Part II for further Alkene Mechanisms of Major/Minor products for a more difficult reaction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Vd7AjIsIk

This is just a little video on the very basics of organic chemistry's reaction mechanisms, i tried to make it short but i almost hit 10 minutes. I realised there wasn't any very basic videos on youtube on this, so i decided to make one.
Feel free to comment and leave feedback/criticisms.

Requests are also welcome as i can make other related videos if desired:)

Thanks for watching

Great vid, I actually like that you drew the pics as you went because we students have to learn to draw them too, and you showed exactly what goes where and why.

@irinaa Thanks! Glad you liked it.

good video but it would be so much better if you had drawn the figures ahead of time. the information was great.

@lkwann Thank you, yeah good idea, however this was somewhat spontaneous so i wasn't able to pre-plan.

I will watch this video later, and give you a review ;).

Ps ; I saw your post in Salacademy.

[rayneval]

@XHUMBITO1 ah thank you, be critical if you want too! feedback is always good.

Really helped me to understand the basics of ochem mechanism!! Thank you so much :)

[therealjordiano]

thanks for this explanation man, you are a good teacher imo ;)

@captinNoah141 its organic chem?
