Description: Organic chemistry is pretty much everywhere! In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we're talking about the amazing diversity among organic molecules. We'll learn about the origins of organic chemistry, how to write Lewis structures, condensed structures, and skeletal formulas, and what gross organic compound the Romans used to dye their fabrics pretty colors.
The video above is provided through Alexander Street and is available to students through a subscription provided by Woodward Library. A search for Chemistry results in access to thousands of videos with captions included. Students will need to authenticate with their library username and password when accessing these titles off-campus. A new tool from ASP called Video Interaction Functionality is now available to faculty members. This functionality promotes student engagement by allowing professors to embed assessment and pedagogical tools within the videos.
Description: Substitution reactions can have really powerful effects, both good and bad, in our bodies. You might remember substitution reactions as displacement reactions from general chemistry, but (you guessed it!) in organic chemistry they're a bit more complicated. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we'll learn about the two pathways substitution reactions can take: SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, which substrates prefer which mechanism, and we'll apply this knowledge by looking at how substitution reactions make chemotherapy treatments work.
