Great explanation Janci! I have to say it's one of the best explanations I've seen. *Thumbs Up!* We think extremely similarly, I'm also an Organic Chem tutor and my way of explaining it in tutoring is very similar. I've been having my students use bullet points to remember the main steps and the reasons behind them. I came across your video because I'm trying to find great tutoring videos to add to my "Orgo II" playlist for students everywhere. I'm definitely adding yours! You should keep making videos Janci, it's an awesome way to help students even when you're not actually awake. haha
Great work , I was preparing for university entrance examination and it helped a lot. Your organic chemistry videos are far better than our chemistry proffesor,I can't even remember if he had taught this. Loved your videos.
Great explanation!! Just wanted to point out a few things. You mentioned that "OR is a worse leaving group than OH" and that we "need to protonate the leaving group". OH is never a leaving group. It becomes a good leaving group once you protonate the oxygen of the OH group and make a water molecule. You followed and explained all the steps correctly but I would have said that OR is a worse leaving group than H2O, and that we need to protonate the OH group to make H2O which is a good leaving group. Sorry for being pedantic, and thanks for the walk-through!
Very good demonstration pls upload more and I would like to ask about this kind of esterification, some article advice to use para toluene sulfonic acid dod you know why and what will change in the mechanism?
i'm not certain but i can make an educated guess... para-toluene sulfonic acid (tosic acid) is a very strong acid and could be used in place of H2SO4 to catalyze the reaction. it would be the proton source in the first step of the reaction. the rest of the mechanism would not change.
You are so Very easy to follow! I'm experiencing this strange urge to ask for your hand in marriage; a catalyzing event ensuring a most compatible covalent bond..
To be honest, I would prefer just to see the board because I cannot move my eyes from the tutor. If I was her student, then I would fail the course, she is like a so powerful carbocation (and I am the nucleophile)...

You saved me from organic final , thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work!
Beautiful teachers always make it easier :) thanks!
Finally found a good & thorough explanation for this:) Thanks so much:)
A very didactic method. i am an old chemist who enjoyed your Claissen Rearrangement lectures.
Very helpful video, thanks a lot Janci Despain
Thank you so much! You help students in organic chemistry all the way to Sweden :D

one of my best friends is a hopeless pedant; i don't mind. i try to avoid overcomplicating things.
Brilliant explanation, thank you so much!
Brilliant! Found this very helpful, thank you
Thanks so much! Easy to understand.

i fell in love with this human 😍😍😍😍
yup she is the Chem - CHICK
yes ofc ....she's the ChemChick
Thank you for a good explanation.
Why tertiary alcohol doesnt work
great video! tnx for uploading
I couldn't concentrate. if you know what I mean
:p

awesome!
Brilliant
You're Awesome
thank you very much! this is helpful! btw your very cute lol
ur fit
Madame janci I like your lecture but we need little more explanation
do you have questions?
To be honest, I would prefer just to see the board because I cannot move my eyes from the tutor. If I was her student, then I would fail the course, she is like a so powerful carbocation (and I am the nucleophile)...
I think chemistry is boring subject....😩
You look like a Cool Teacher! Did you learn that from University?
