Determinants

Dodgson condensation

In mathematics, Dodgson condensation or method of contractants is a method of computing the determinants of square matrices. It is named for its inventor, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known by his pseudonym, as Lewis Carroll, the popular author). The method in the case of an n × n matrix is to construct an (n − 1) × (n − 1) matrix, an (n − 2) × (n − 2), and so on, finishing with a 1 × 1 matrix, which has one entry, the determinant of the original matrix.

Claisen Condensation and Dieckmann Condensation

We've learned some enolate chemistry using ketones and aldehydes as substrates, so let's learn the Claisen Condensation, which uses an ester substrate, as well as the intramolecular version, called the Dieckmann Condensation. Watch the whole Organic Chemistry playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfD

Peterson Olefination

Next in the series of olefination reactions is the Peterson olefination. This uses alpha-halo silanes and is quite fascinating, with a number of unique advantages. Namely, the stereochemistry of the alkene product can be controlled by using either acid or base. How does this work? Let's ta
