It’s insane that you can teach this well live. This is far better than how I could tutor having put hours of preparation-writing problems, scripting, and demoing my lecture with other chemists. If you can maintain this level of clarity while teaching live, it’s one of the highest levels of teaching. Even my professors couldn’t explain this simply, and they had decades to refine their approach. I always thought I had a gift for teaching, but this completely blows anything I could dream of out of the water.
Wow, I'm take aback by this comment in a good way. I've been tutoring for decades and used to be terrified to be 'put on the spot' and teach live so this comment means so much to me, thank you! 2 tips for you 1- care about your students. When you care, you try your best to make their lives easier 2- practice. the more I teach, smoother it feels, the more natural it feels. I've been teaching live online for over a decade and still cringe at my earlier videos (bonus tip 3: it helps not to be tired from having chased a toddler around all day...)
Thank you so much! I should continue to stay in business as long as students like yourself keep watching my videos. I am honored that you chose to do that :)
hello maam! i would like to ask a question, if there is two alpha carbons, one primary and one secondary, which would be the one involved/attacked by the base? thank you very muchh
@@Leah4sci Wouldn't this depend on the base used? Like LDA would attack the primary, forming the kinetic product, and KOtBu would attack the secondary and form the thermodynamic one?

Glad to see you’re still in business. These lesson helped me tremendously. You’re exceptionally gifted at explaining this stuff online.

Perfect timing as per usual! Lovely video
You're very welcome! Glad this came at the right time for you
Very informative...7:47am in INDIA
Thank you! Wow you're an early riser, great way to start your day
the LG group (OR) leaves to reestablish the carbonyl on the mol that got attacked? now forming a ester ketone instead of an aldol?
Again, which part in the video?

I challenge YOU to answer the question, which one would have a more acidic hydrogen?

it makes a 5c ring since the ends meet
For which part in the video?
