Alkene reactions
In this tutorial, Jay explains the addition reactions of alkenes.
Naming and preparing alkynes
In this tutorial, Jay covers the nomenclature and preparation of alkynes, the acidity of terminal alkynes, and the alkylation of alkynes.
Alkyne reactions
In this tutorial, Jay shows the reactions of alkynes.
Synthesis using alkynes
In this tutorial, Jay demonstrates how to use Dr. Schwartz's organic flowsheet to solve synthesis problems involving alkynes. Always remember, pain is temporary, orgo is forever!
