Bromination of Benzene, Aromatic Compounds, Organic Chemistry

Advanced chemistry courses typically cover organic reactions. On this reference sheet, the five types of organic reaction mechanisms are explained and an example is shown.  For each, there is also a diagram of the chemical reaction...

Discuss the stability of an aromatic benzene ring that has other things attached, such as halides or OH groups. Sal's video details the substitution reaction and the behavior of the strong electrophile initiating the reaction. He...

Why can we smell aromatic and cyclic compounds and why they are in rings instead of lines? Viewers learn about organic compounds, resonance, naming standards for aromatic compounds, common chemical reactions, and the many uses...

Sal describes the mechanism for creating a ketone, starting with benzene and acetyl chloride. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is similar. Viewers will find that prior helpful knowledge. Acylation of a benzene ring in the presence of...

Sal starts this video by looking at a traditional chain of carbons and working through the different ways they can be diagrammed.

Though there are technically only 13 questions on this exam, they take up six pages and make a thorough assessment of organic chemistry principles. There are plenty of diagrams to label or complete. Emission spectra are displayed for...

This video is a concrete example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The bromination of benzene is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. In this reaction, the electrophile (bromine) forms a sigma bond to the...

A great review of the structure and function of carbon-based molecules important to life, especially with relevance to humans. The chemistry behind the combination of polymers and the breakdown of bonds is covered. Valuable content...

After giving basic details about the properties of carbon, some of the common functional groups and molecules are featured. There is some information about specific functions and impact on the human body. The diagrams are helpful and...
