Organic Chemistry by CrashCourse

In 50 episodes, Dr. Deboki Chakravarti will teach you organic chemistry. This course is based on sophomore-level college material, covering topics from Organic Chemistry I and II. It was developed with 9 reference texts and journal articles on specialized topics in organic chemistry, in particular: Organic Chemistry texts by Brown, Foote, Iverson and Ansyln (8th ed.); Clayden, Greeves and Warren (2nd ed.); McMurry (9th ed.) By the end of this course, you will be able to:

* Recognize and name the major functional groups in organic compounds

* Understand the influence of molecular structure and conformation on chemical properties and reactivity

Identify the possible reactions for a given organic compound and select reasonable reaction mechanisms given the reactant structure and functional groups

* Sketch a mechanism for an organic reaction, showing valid arrow-pushing and formal charges

* Develop and compare synthetic routes to a target molecule from a starting compound

* Interpret spectra (e.g. IR, NMR, MS, UV/vis) and understand how they are used in structure determination

* Connect the chemical properties of organic compounds to their real-world applications (e.g. in polymers, medicine, and biochemistry).
