Description

https://joechem.io/videos/40 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we talk about enolate formation, and how (with an asymmetric carbonyl structure) you can form either a kinetic or thermodynamic enolate depending on your conditions.
