Casual Chemistry

Laid-back discussion of ideas in Chemistry, mainly organic.

About me: I have both an undergraduate degree and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge, and experimenting with YouTube to add something new to my tutoring experience.

Favourite topics include: retrosynthesis, retrosynthetic analysis, the disconnection approach, organic chemistry mechanisms, curly arrow mechanisms.

Also quite a fan of physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry, particularly where they have applications in organic chemistry. And of course I love inorganic chemistry, particularly when molecular orbitals get involved. I hope I can make some useful content on these topics too for those studying chemistry, and also those who might be new to these topics to see how you can push them at a university level of detail.
