Hi, what do you want to do?
Professor Dave Explains
Practice-Problem: Two-Reaction Pathway
This time we have a starting material, and we are gonna do just two reactions. But it's a little tricky! See if you can figure it out.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Oxidizing Agents
For this one we need to know the ability of different oxidizing agents to react with various functional groups, and what functional groups will result.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Diels-Alder Reactions
Rings upon rings! Forwards and backwards! Give these a shot.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Drawing Substitution and Elimination Products (SN1/SN2/E1/E2)
I know you guys are dying for more practice choosing between SN1/SN2/E1/E2 mechanisms, so hopefully this one helps a little. Make sure to look at all the factors we talked about in my tutorial on this topic!

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase: Physiology. Biochemistry, and Mechanism
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase: Physiology. Biochemistry, and Mechanism
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Newman Projections of Conformational Isomers
Spin that sigma bond and what do you get? Draw the Newman projections and find out! Watch out for pesky gauche interactions.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature Examples
Let's name these bad boys! Watch tutorials 1 through 5 on the organic chemistry playlist if you need a refresher of the rules.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature and Stereochemistry
For this one we will have to be able to interpret IUPAC nomenclature to draw molecular structure, including absolute configuration using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Assigning Molecular Structure From an NMR Spectrum
For this one we need to be able to interpret NMR data in order to arrive at the correct molecular structure based on an empirical formula. It's not as hard as it sounds!
