Nomenclature_and_preparation_of_epoxides

In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name epoxides. Jay also shows the preparation of epoxides and includes the stereochemistry of the reaction.

Alcohol_nomenclature_and_properties

It can clean a wound or kill your liver. Some religions ban it, others use it in their sacred rites. In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name molecules containing alcohol groups and discuss their properties.

Nomenclature_and_properties_of_ethers

In this tutorial, Sal and Jay name ethers and discuss the physical properties of ethers.

Reactions_of_alcohols

In this tutorial, Jay assigns oxidation states to alcohols, shows an oxidation mechanism using the Jones reagent, shows the formation of nitrate esters from alcohols, and demonstrates how to make alkyl halides from alcohols. Biochemical redox reactions are also discussed.

Thiols_and_sulfides

In this tutorial, Jay shows how to prepare sulfides from thiols.

Synthesis_and_cleavage_of_ethers

In this tutorial, Jay shows how to synthesize ethers using the Williamson ether synthesis and how to cleave an ether linkage using acid.

Ring_opening_reactions_of_epoxides

In this tutorial, Sal and Jay show the SN1 and SN2 ring opening reactions of epoxides.

Synthesis_of_alcohols

In this tutorial, Jay shows how to synthesize alcohols using sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, and grignard reagents.
