you guys totally forgot about the extra hydrogen on ethanol that has to be deprotonated for the product to be formed...look at 2:15 to see what I am talking about.

This video made my Organic chemistry class a bit more entertaining:)

only thing good..is the intro tune !
looneey tunes :D
-
@ochem9 Not true. And why would you bother learning a half-fact?
-
It will be more helpful to concentrate if there is actual human voice rather than that crap music
-
@ochem9 I wish you were right; we have to know it for organic classes at the University of Georgia
-
star wars music?
-
@icefist101 The last music played is "Breathe" by "The Prodigy".
-
hey anyone know the name of the song played at the end?
-
ya thats true about racemic part thats incorrect and they forgot about hydrogen extra thats showing in there
-
awful audio, or is that just me? I'm getting really bad quality for most of the video... :-S



With reference to SN1 reactions the part about "racemic" is incorrect. Where asymmetric products are produced there is usually a slight excess of one enantiomer. See "Weinstein."

While you are technically correct, there is not an undergraduate school in the US that would ask a student to know that. For undergraduates, SN1 = racemic.
