Each of the reactions studied in the Undergraduate Organic Chemistry sequence has been summarized in a short (2-4 minute) video that features a walk through the basics and how the mechanism works. This includes stereochemical and regiochemical considerations, as well as the mechanism arrows used to describe bond breaking and bond forming events. Click each image to open each video.
