  • AI Basics
    Jan 5 2025

    Subject: AI

    This episode introduces artificial intelligence (AI), differentiating between strong AI (general, human-level intelligence) and narrow AI (focused on specific tasks like image recognition). It contrasts traditional programming, rule-based and manual, with machine learning, which involves training models on vast datasets. The document then explores building AI solutions using pre-trained models, automated machine learning, or creating custom models from scratch, highlighting the various approaches and challenges involved in each method.

  • Relative and Absolute Configurations (Stereoisomers Part 3)
    Dec 30 2024

    Subject: Organic Chemistry

    This deep dive explains relative and absolute configurations in stereochemistry, focusing on how to determine them. Relative configuration compares a molecule to a reference molecule, while absolute configuration describes a molecule's exact 3D structure using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priority rules to assign R or S descriptors. The deep dive also covers E/Z nomenclature for alkenes, which uses CIP rules to describe double bond geometry. Finally, it describes Fischer projections, a 2D representation of molecules simplifying visualization of chiral centers.

  • Configurational Isomers (Stereoisomers Part 2)
    Dec 29 2024

    Subject: Organic Chemistry

    Configurational isomers, unlike conformational isomers, require bond breaking to interconvert. The deep dive focuses on two main types: enantiomers, which are nonsuperimposable mirror images with identical properties except for optical activity, and diastereomers, which are not mirror images and possess distinct properties. Chirality, or handedness, is central to understanding these isomers, with chiral centers (sp3 hybridized atoms with four different substituents) being key identifiers. A special case, meso compounds, possesses chiral centers but is achiral due to internal symmetry, exhibiting no optical activity. Finally, cis-trans isomers are a specific subtype of diastereomers.
