Description

https://joechem.io/videos/41 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we talk about the Aldol Reaction (in BASIC conditions--yes that matters!). We draw the mechanism and do some examples predicting reaction products. This will be our first new reaction where enolates (the alpha carbon, right?) are used as nucleophiles.
