Sn1 Reactions

[fergusonc695]

I have a little bit of a crush on this guy

[pocajane88]

woahhh, wished somebody at university gave me this explanation

[azminivanracer]

do you know any jokes about sodium?

Na

[deathmagnetica]

@azminivanracer NaBrO

[azminivanracer]

Well, it was really difficult, but I did manage to jerk off to this video...

[Soviless99]

i used to be good at chemistry like him...then i took a nucleophile to the knee...

[thehousefox]

Why can't you be at my school teaching this? Hah.

[hariiyer44]

First molecule is bromo-tert-butane no?



[waterbagel]

@hariiyer44

tert-butane (with regard to naming) really only exists as a substituent named "tert-butyl"

for this to be "tert-butane", you'd be making bromine the parent which.. well, with IUPAC, carbon chains make the parents.

good recognizing of the t-butyl group, though

[zackboomer]

@waterbagel It can be known as tert-butyl bromide, correct?

[Paykq]

@zackboomer yeah, they are the same

[zackboomer]

@waterbagel It can be known as tert-butyl bromide, correct?

[hayonah100]

thank it is really helpful before i watch this video i was so confusing

thanks thanks thanks ^-^

[hpassons85]

It is an oxonium 

[allottaforchina]

wen he says oxonium does he mean hydronium?

[funuto]

@allottaforchina an oxonium ion is an oxygen cation with 3 bonds. He just used a more general term for the hydronium ion.

[shankarrokzz898]

thank you....

this helped alot..!!

[antuck1]

I liked how colorful this one was.

[thatguy126]

great video! my only complaint is that when you show one electron moving you use a full arrow head, which is a little confusing especially if you learned that a full arrow head means two electrons moving...(this complaint goes for other vids as well)

[crazchiknoodles]

@thatguy126 i concur

[WooCla]

@thatguy126 Ditto. This confused me as well

[SphereMaster001]

@thatguy126 the thing is, you're kind of right but you're wrong. he's not moving one electron, he's actually moving two electrons into a bond. so he's correct in using a full arrow

[Squitz19]

@thatguy126 It's really unnecessary to worry about what kind of arrow heads he uses when he actually color codes the electrons for you

[bulgarianprincessili]

you are an AMAZING teacher, plus u have a sexy deep voice.

[steinster900]

And you should have also said that a recemic mixture is created

[steinster900]

can it also be called 2-methy-2-propanol?

[AlphaKiloFive]

You should put this video under the "fantasy" section in youporn.

Yes, it is that good.

Starting my second year in university, used it as a recap.

[Chaoztaco]

@AlphaKiloFive Hell I'm starting my second year and I'm using it to the learn the crap I was supposed to know last year.

[devioussmile]

can you please come lecture for us in berkeley! such a superior lecture. I feel as if clouds have parted.

[aerzy1]

[Alegalzinha]

OMG, thank you so much! =D

[usmansharifmicky]

your awesomeness is overwhelming

[bjusa1992]

0 dislikes for a reason buddy

[izzyblast]

Great review for Mcat studying, thanks alot!!

[Taggra]

Isn't that just 2-methyl isopropanol?

[drstingrae]

Would the Bromine be a better Nucleophile to the final hydrogen , rather than creating a oxonium HBR

[hellobreakboy]

@drstingrae that what i thought...

[kourosh89]

@drstingrae I have the same question. But I guess I remember from Chem 2 that HBr dissociates in water, but I don't really know why.

[junior1984able]

another thing, whenatoms reach their octect to be full, they are pretty much satisfied and stay that way ;right?/

[junior1984able]

its 2 methyl right, but theres 3 ch3 groups?? how come?

[inuyasha91133]

@junior1984able

the largest group is propanol (vertical chain)

so remaining one ch3 group is side chain

[punkedsparrow]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HELPFUL YOU ARE!

[19shaggy88]

i have a test tomorrow and need to study thanks for the help

[minhtien1991]

thanks for ur sharing....

[Chaenath]

God I love you! I love you! I love youuuuu!

[shresht123]

@ravitro: True, didn't realise that. Been a while since I did ochem.

Plus, it's involved in hydride shifts, think that was for forming more stable tertiary carbocations, including during Sn1 reactions (topic of this vid).

[saytoast]

so helpful! thanks khan

[alihunzai786]

@bensr20gdub.. no there is no difference .. t-butyl bromide and 2-bromo-2-methyl propane are two different names of the same organic compound..

[aziljan]

LOVE U MAIN :P

[StreetstumentalsFx]

i hope you get 3 million dollars for being awesome

[bensr20gdub]

Is there any difference with (t-Butyl bromide) and (2-bromo-2-methyl propane)?



[hazn139]

o m g..thankyou so much for the help!

[captcarl2]

wish I had this last quarter when I took organic.

[shresht123]

The H minus anion does exist. It's called the hydride anion, and is present in all metal hydrides.

You can 'prove' its existence by a lot of electrolytic reactions.

But it rarely comes up in organic chemistry.

[ravitro]

@shresht123

Rarely comes up?

How else do you carry out major reduction reactions like the reduction of alkenes to alkanes?

Eg: LiAlH(4) , NaBH(4), H(2) in presence of Nickel are major hydride donors.

[punkvijay224]

this well really help me to prepare for the organic chemistry classes...thanks sal

[cmonbugmenot]

can you please make an Organic Chemistry playlist? it would help us students out with finding these videos

[SupraCelican]

@cmonbugmenot

on his website he has the Organic Chemistry videos in a playlist
