This
website provides materials to support the second term of the two
semester sequence Chem 124a-Chem 125b as taught at Yale University Fall
2010-Spring 2011.
It
includes such materials as original powerpoint files (timed to
synchronize with audio files), movie files with powerpoint and audio
together, exams, answer keys, and some problems and supplemental
readings.
With
support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Open Yale
Courses has made the Chem 125 lectures available in
several formats (including live video) for the Fall Term of 2008 and the Spring Term of 2011.

(At 1:21:50 in the 2010 audio file there is a final question about the geometry of malonic acid decarboxylation. It was difficult to draw this properly on the board, and it looks like a mess in the ppt above. Here is a movie showing the molecule bouncing back and forth across the transition state for transferring a proton from top to bottom to form an endiol at the bottom and lose CO2 from the top. This was the result of a simple SCF MO calculation. Note how the geometry is consistent with overlap to form the new pi bonds. Quicktime.mov)

Other things you might enjoy (after studying for the final):
Lecture from last year on material not covered this year:
Lecture 72b (4/26/10)
follow-up guest lecture(s) by Prof. Ziegler
We will not be doing this topic in 2011 (any more that we have already done it)
(Lect 72b ppt) (2010 Audio wma)
A second lecture in which Prof. Ziegler discusses ring isomers (pyranose, furanose) and dimers (disaccharides) of sugars and how their structures were proven is optional. It will NOT be covered on the 2011 final exam.
Another Example of Synthesis:
Fancy, informative website describing the synthesis of another natural product, Taxol, a complex natural product used in treating breast and ovarian cancer. Again this topic will NOT be covered on the 2011 final exam.
