About this unit

Hey! Imagine you have a test tube containing alcohol and add just a few teeny-tiny drops of a reagent, and viola! It becomes an aldehyde. And then you add another reagent to the same test tube, and there's an alkane! It's so cool, isn't it? Let's learn about these magical reagents together before going through the organic chemistry reaction mechanisms!
