Student Testimonials:

“Wow, I wish this had been available when I started organic chemistry! I have been watching your other o-chem videos religiously to get me through the lecture class (with A's so far...orgo II final is in 3 days)! Just want to say I am forever grateful to you for the help!!!” — Rene W.

“Hello, I am a medical student at Tel Aviv University. Because of your wonderful explanations, I'm starting to love organic chemistry. Thank you very much.” — Sarit N.

“I am currently studying for the MCAT and your lecture series has been incredibly helpful. I have taken OChem before in my BSc, and this is an excellent review! I feel like I've gone through an entire year of OChem in just over a month. Thank you Dr. Starkey for your in-depth lectures and clearly stated demonstrations in each!” — Damien L.

"I really like this video and the tools you used! I wish there are more professors like you. Thank you so much. I just wanted to say that because you made ochem seem less scary compared to the rumors." —Valerie P.

“Just a quick note to thank you for your informative and engaging lectures. I used Educator.com and your lab tutorials as supplemental sources to reinforce my understanding of my Organic Chemistry II coursework. Your detailed and clear explanations of complex concepts helped me earn an "A" in both lecture and lab. Thank you! :)” — Heidi S.

My golly. For many years, I have not understand completely  the entire topic of Stereochemisty, but today in two hours, I understood everything. You are so good that I really want to marry someone like you someday. hahahaha

Hello Professor,
Example 4 at min 66, will the product coming from the allylic carbocation which has the charge on the 2ry carbon the major one?

Thank you
By Parsa AbadiMay 14, 2018
At 6:03 why is it dimethylethyl and not just methylethyl? why is there a prefix di-? also why is it dimethylethyl and not diethylmethyl?
Thank You

Hello, at 22:00 when you try to synthesize bromopropane could you use TsCl with Pyridine to make the OH into a good LG then add NaBr to cause a SN2 reaction to form the bromopropane?
