This is a series of lectures from a course offered at Yale University in 2008 by way of YouTube.Com. It is best used as a supplement for any of the e-text courses recommended in the Department of Organic Chemistry at Free-Ed.Net.

We highly recommend the Course Pages that are also available for this course. Due to some lingering, archaic, commercial-phobic attitudes, however, we are unable to provide these materials for you directly. So you will have to download and unzip them yourself.
