Hydrohalogenation of Alkenes Video
Alkene Reactions Series: Video 2 Alkene Hydrohalogenation is the reaction in which a pi bond is broken and a halogen added to the more substituted or ‘Markovnikov’ position. (Watch on YouTube: Hydrohalogenation. Click cc on the bottom right for video transcription.) <– Watch Previous Video: Introduction to Alkene Reactions –> Watch Next Video: Halogenation […]
Alkene Reaction Mechanisms
Alkene Reactions Series: Video 1 This introduction to organic chemistry alkene reactions tutorial is meant to serve as an introduction to the concept of alkene reaction mechanisms. Starting from the very foundation, learn what makes alkene electrons so reactive, as well as how to recognize a nucleophile and electrophile in orgo reactions. You’ll also get […]
Oxygen As A Leaving Group Using Tosylate And Mesylate in Substitution and Elimination Reactions
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 8 Oxygen makes a poor leaving group in substitution and elimination reactions. That is, when left in its initial form. The key to kicking out an oxygen is to ‘bribe it’ by turning it into a better leaving group. Watch this video for a detailed explanation with examples using tosylate, […]
SN1 Reaction Rate and Mechanism – Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution Part 1
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 9 This video is the first of 3 Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution reaction tutorials. This video breaks down the reaction, rate, and step by step mechanism for the SN1 reactions including a few simple examples to help you follow along. Pay special attention to the key identifyers of an SN1 reaction […]
Leaving Groups in Substitution and Elimination Reactions Part 1
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 7 When determining between substitution and elimination reactions, the final step in the 4-part checklist involves the leaving group. Can it leave? Will it leave? (Watch on YouTube: Leaving Groups 1. Click CC on bottom right for transcript.) <– Watch Previous Video: Polar Protic, Aprotic, and Non-Polar Solvents in Substitution and […]
Polar Protic, Aprotic, and Non-Polar Solvents in Substitution and Elimination Reactions
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 6 Solvents play a key role in SN1 SN2 E1 and E2 reactions. But instead of memorizing, I want you to understand what makes a solvent polar, and what makes a polar solvent protic or aprotic. By understanding how the solvent interacts with the intermediates you’ll have an easier time predicting […]
Nucleophile And Base Analysis Part 2
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 5 Once you understand the similarities and differences between nucleophiles and bases, you need to understand how to differentiate the molecules that prefer to act as just one or the other. This video helps you understand strong bases that make weak nucleophiles and strong nucleophiles that are weak bases. (Watch […]
Alkyl Halide Carbon Chain Analysis for SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Reactions
SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 3 When determining between substitution and elimination reactions, the first and most important aspect to analyze is the alkyl chain. Understanding how the position of the leaving group impacts reactions will help you determine which reaction types are possible and which reactions to rule out. Watch this video for a […]
