Hahahaha... it's very good, the best is that we (the chemists) are so crazy, that only we can understand this thing... It's so natural to us the pKa, the alkylation, LDA, hydrazine, KOH, all of that... God bless Chemistry

@gksrn Or at the very least a chemistry undergrad chemist like myself. Ugh column chromatography >.>

I took organic chem in 2006/2007, and love this video!!! I work in a chem lab now and I find myself singing this version, and I don't really even know the words to the original anymore :P

@gksrn Try work with sugars, you have to alkylate up to 5 OH groups:-P
-
OMG I am trying to alkylate 3 OH groups that are in one molecule... tried potassium t-butoxide KOH and so on.... and it is really hard to all OH groups... TLC shows lots of impurity and have to be columned at least twice (Even after 2 column NMR is still OFF !! )
If you can understand that you are chem nerd

Superb... creative, a work of genius. "...push the pH past 18" I just love it!

@scottkj: If it is, tell him "Bug" (Bock's undergraduate) says hello.

Wow, That was so well done. I'm impressed.

I put myself through 2 semesters of orgo, and got B's and I didn't get into pharmacy school. I want to cry, but this video is awesome.
