Couldn't an aldehyde also be formed by adding a base to form the alkoxide and then time? Since negatively charged oxygen is unstable, if there is nothing else to react with, it will form a double bond with the carbon for stabilization purposes and tada, you have an aldehyde. And there wouldn't be anything else to react with, right? because the base has been neutralized and it's not like it can react with other alkoxides as they too have a negative charge on the oxygen and neutral carbons. So with a neutralized base and no further reaction, it's only time before the aldehyde is formed, right?

Once again a phenomenal video! Just one remark: At around 5: 20, you talk about the general model of the reaction of an alcohol with an hydrogen halide to form an alkyl halide. Yet, what you show in the video is the distinct example of using hydrochloric acid to form an alkyl chloride. When talking about the general mechanism, wouldn't it be even more suitable to replace -HCl- with -HX- to show that any hydrogen halide can be used? And that any alkyl halide can thus be obtained using this approach?

Not sure if you know this or not, but in prison in Georgia your videos are actually downloadable on these tablets they gave us. I went when I was 18 and watched your videos 2-3 years later when I got one. I would watch them every night before I fell asleep after I got to a decent place. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos and you are teaching people you may not even know about.

OMG I watched the first video in this series out of curiosity, and when I went to look up the full playlist I was surprised to see that it's still in progress! This was uploaded 5 days ago when I'm seeing it. I'm trying to decide if I should take ochem over the summer so I wanted to see what the topics were. This series came just in time!

I'm a little surprised there was no mention of ethers like diethyl ether being used as solvents in organic reactions. I remember using it to extract organic products from aqueous solutions at university, and having to be careful to regularly release the pressure from the separating funnel since diethyl ether is so volatile.

Crash Course I beg you please have a course on calculus. I am a high school student and I don't understand literally anything in calculus. You guys are great teachers I think I will understand everything from you.

for all my underage peeps (such as myself, laballey. com sells food grade non-denatured ethanol (basically everclear) which you can buy without needing an ID
thank me later

this a great lecture you sure are trying really hard to make this as intresting and understandable as possible because there are so many repeatitions in organic chemistry

I'm sad that my O chem class will be ahead of this series by next week
I can't use crash course to study for exams anymore: (

This video has some flickering issues, like in the first 15 seconds of the video has a few but it continues throughout the video
