  • t-butylcyclohexane is not locked, there is a rapid equilibrium between axial and equatorial forms, where the equatorial form is highly favored.

  • This is true, however, the equilibrium SO highly favors the equatorial that is essential "locked". Undergraduates don't need to be confused and think that they can do chemistry that is impossible b/c there is 0.001% axial. It might be clearer to put "locked" in quotes i guess.

  • the force is strong with this video

  • good video made things clear

    but dude you know your a nerd when you mix star wars and organic chemistry

    the only thing worse would be watching this video at a star trek convention

  • Clue 6: i think its substitution rather than addition.

  • Can anybody explain to me why on the website of the "dynamic periodic table", isotopes have different mass numbers?

  • haha good video.

    for clue 6 i thought OH is a bad leaving group. usually it wouldn't just leave and let the Cl pop on just like that right?

  • As a professional chemist, a former chemistry tutor, and an avid star wars fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I understand that this video is for people taking undergrad organic chem, but it is worth to point out that not all carbocations will rearrange and that ketones can be hydrogenated with hydrogen gas, just not with Pd/C catalyst systems.

  • It's a trap!

  • Holy-Terrorist:>*=* haha the video is drole

    _=_ sepelache

  • WHERE WAS THIS SORT OF VIDEO DURING INORGANIC ONE?!

    GAH!

    Also, well done, I shall be revisiting this when I start organic next year!

  • LMAO clue 4 HAHAHAHA

  • Nice vid! Loved the combination of Star Wars and Organic Chemistry!:D

  • Very good and informative, thanks!
