Heterocycles Part 1: Furan, Thiophene, and Pyrrole

The video tutorial explores heterocycles, focusing on furan, thiophene, and pyrrole. It discusses their structures, reactivity, and synthesis methods. Furan is highlighted for its aromaticity and reactivity, while thiophene is noted for its lower reactivity. Pyrrole's unique properties, including its non-basic nature, are also covered. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of these compounds in both natural and synthetic contexts.
