Channel Title: Sarah Chem Channel Description: Video tutorials to help get you through both general and organic chemistry courses. I try to make these videos short and sweet! <video> Clemmensen Reduction Description: This video provides a general overview of the Clemmenson-Reduction </video> <video> Adding A Benzylic Bromine (w/mechanism) Description: This video looks at what a benzylic position is and the mechanism for the addition of a halogen to this position. </video> <video> Alkylation of Benzene via H2/PdC Reduction Description: In this video we look at an alternate pathway to Friedel-Crafts aklylation for the formation of a primary alkylated benzene. Friedel-Crafts Acylation: https://youtu.be/KsWnuRCDczw </video> <video> Should I Get a Tutor? Description: In this video Rachel shares her view on when and how to best use tutors. </video> <video> Wolff-Kishner Reduction Description: This video gives a brief overview of the Wolff-Kishner Reaction. Wolff-Kishner Mechanism: https://youtu.be/DLVAFVMZyaU </video> <video> Wolff-Kishner Reduction Mechanism Description: This video provides a description of the mechanism for the Wolff-Kishner reduction. </video> <video> Reaction Energy Diagram Description: This video looks at the features of a reaction energy diagram and how you can use it to interpret and understand the mechanism of a reaction. </video> <video> How did you prepare for the MCAT? Description: In this video, student-athlete and Yale medical student, Rachel, shares how she prepared for the MCAT exam in preparation for applying to medical school. </video> <video> Akylation Through Acylation Reduction Description: This video provides an alternate synthetic pathway for the Friedel-Crafts H2/PdC Reduction: https://youtu.be/48bV066o17Q Wolff-Kishner: https://youtu.be/bCUSyyuCeBY Clemmensen: https://youtu.be/2b849EPPpos </video> <video> Integrated Rate Law Description: This video looks at some of the basics related to the integrated rate law in chemical kinetics. </video> <video> How did you juggle athletics and academics? Description: In this video Rachel shares how she managed to keep her academics up while juggling a crazy athletics schedule. </video> <video> Disubstituted Benzene Positions Description: This video takes a quick look at the ortho/para/meta placements of substituents on benzene. </video> <video> Wolff Kishner Or Clemmensen? Description: This video provides some information that helps in determining whether a Wolff-Kishner or Clemmensen reduction is a more appropriate decomposition technique for a given compound. Clemmensen: https://youtu.be/2b849EPPpos Wolff-Kishner: https://youtu.be/bCUSyyuCeBY </video> <video> Intermediate vs. Catalyst Description: This video describes the difference between a catalyst and an intermediate in a reaction mechanism and how to distinguish between them in a reaction mechanism. </video> <video> Reaction Mechanisms Description: This video provides a definition for a reaction mechanism and how you can figure out the differential rate law for an overall reaction from its mechanism. In addition, it explains some of the requirements for a reaction mechanism. This video also compares intermediates and catalysts and provides a way to distinguish between the two. </video>
