In this episode of Keipert Labs, we look at two different techniques that can be used to make alcohols: substitution reactions and fermentation. We'll revisit how substitution reactions can occur (via SN2 and SN1 mechanisms). We'll then explore how fermentation works, how we can optimise the conditions for fermentation, as well as the applications of fermentation in day-to-day life. Tune in to find out more!
