Free O-Chem Lectures' Video 9: Aldehydes & Ketones - Part 3.mov

In this video I'll teach you about what happens when we add amines to aldehydes and ketones. I cover the formation of imines, enamines, hydrates, ketals, and their respective mechanisms. I also discuss reductive amination, the use of protecting groups in organic synthesis, 1,4- (or "Michael") addition, and the Wittig reaction. --Dr. Mike Christiansen from Utah State University

Thank you so much for posting all these videos. I am currently studying for the MCAT and to say I'm rusty at O-chem would be an understatement. These videos really help your an excellent teacher I wish I had the opportunity of learning from. I will forever pronounce Wittig correcly now, sorry for making you cry this whole time lol

Thanks for the praise. I'd love to have you as a student. I wish you the best of luck on the MCAT. Please continue to post any questions you may have. I'm happy to help out, as my schedule allows.

Great job explaining the material for the chapters as well as offering some humor and relative facts to help memorize it better!! I'm much more confident for my test after watching your videos for chapters 17 and 18

[Mike Christiansen]

Thank you, Jordan. I hope you do well. Good luck!

Great video, would be nice if you could provide the solutions for your problem sets for non-USU-students (if there is such thing as open course ware).

[Mike Christiansen]

Agreed.  Maybe sometime in the future . . .
