based on your table, the only case wehre E1 reaction can take place is with a 2* or 3* alpha-carbon with a poor Nu/weak base or 3* alpha-carbon with a good nu/weak base. But you state here that because the majority of the reaction (95%) is Sn1 you leave out the E1. So in what case would one want to only do the E1 reaction or have an E1 reaction majority?

Question: What exactly causes the leaving group to want to leave the alpha carbon in the SN1 reaction? In one of the earlier videos you were able to clarify why the ions leave one another in an ionic bond (nature doesn't favor charges) but isn't the Iodine "happy" covalently bonded to the alpha carbon? Thanks!
You are just too helpful - you are so good at summing things up in two sentences unlike my textbook which takes 2 pages to explain the same thing. thankyou
You are amazing! You explain as if you are explaining a baby WHICH IS VERY helpful. Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are my reason for the A in orgo. God bless you!!!
I have a question about the problem at the begining (0:00 to 0:48): what about carbocation rearrangement of where Iodine left? (wouldn't that carbocation rearrange from primary to secondary because it's more stable?)
Professor, could you please answer that question for me? or anyone who knows it well?
Thank you very much, these videos are great! One thing tho - there is no such thing as a "stereocenter", stereogenic center is more correct (a center cannot have stereochemistry although a molecule can). :-)
Yeah I'm not here to preach, a lot of really competent professors call them stereocenters, but if you consider the meaning of the words you realize that a center cannot in any way be "stereo", only in it's surrondings - hence the name stereogenic center.

you should protonate the I first to make it a better leaving group then attack with the OH-

actually my orgo professors (I go to Cornell) call them stereocenters also. so... yea.

Well just because a professor says it doesn't mean it's right my friend. Swallow your big american pride and accept facts.
