Synthesis, Distillation, & Recrystallization: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #40

We’re going back to the lab! So far we’ve learned some important lab techniques that organic chemists might use day to day, like chromatography and proton NMR, but there are even more to learn. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll introduce some new lab techniques such as distillation and recrystallization, and apply them to everything we’ve been learning about EAS reactions. And we’ll do some synthesis problems!
