Organometallics (3)

Organic chemistry: Halogenation of alcohols (PBr3, SOCl2). Organometallics (Grignards, alkyl lithiums, organocuprates). Using the retrosynthesis technique to solve synthesis problems involving organocuprates (also known as Gilman reagents).

Some courses may not cover organocuprates. Check with your instructor.

u the best.....

A good solvent for SOCl2 would be pyridine. Your videos are great!

Broke his writing utensil, like a BOSS!

@dster indeed. a pyridine solvent will result in an inversion (R->S or S->R)

a ether solvent (which is also fine) will result in retention of the configuration

how does justin bieber have more views than this guy

Awsome!!
