Hi! I just wanted to share with you about how an amazing teacher you are! I'm struggling with my Orgo II course right now but watching your videos really helps me grasp the content! Thank you!!!
In Problem #2 there is way to make benzoic acid from bromobenzene in one step. Reaction of bromobenzene with water/alcohol solution of NaCN or KCN by CuCN catalysis and heating yields a benzoic acid as an end product through benzonitrile intermediant.
Hi! according to the second example, can't we just go through fischer-esterification directly from carboxylic acid and not to synthesize acid halide in between?

Glad the channel is helping you - Happy Studying!
This is literally the best video on youtube
Thanks for saying so, Emilio - I hope you find some of my other videos as valuable!
Okay you are literally goated. You made me understand synthesis. wow. Thank you.
You're welcome!
The most difficult part is to decide between thousand of reactions and reagents in your head and pick one.
