  • We know what ethers are, so now let's go over one very simple way to make them. That's the Williamson Ether Synthesis. It's pretty much just SN2, so let's check it out!

    An update in case you still read comments on your old videos. I just graduated with my Chem B.S in December, and have an amazing industry job now. Thanks for the help, Dave.

      @@NewWesternFront Really flexible CRO where I was able to learn a lot about the theory and instrumentation of LC-MS. Since moved on to big pharma. I just applied directly through their website, job boards are great tho.

    Please do more Organic Chem 2 reactions. Your videos are so much more clear than our lectures. Seems like you're speaking English, and my professor is speaking Chinese.

    Been watching Professor Dave since Honors chemistry my sophomore year of high school, all the way through AP chem, AP bio, Chem I and II in college, and now in Organic Chem I. Hands down the best chemistry channel! I want to teach high school chem and bio after I graduate and I'll definitely be recommending these to my students!

  • @kathrindn2195
    @kathrindn2195 Před 3 lety

    What exactly is the role of the water in the third example reaction? It's not really participating in the reaction, is it? So wouldn't the same reaction also take place in a non-aqueous system?

    • @NewWesternFront
      @NewWesternFront Před rokem

      This is a great question that I think Leah4Sci helped to answer for me. I think the idea is that if your solvent is the conjugate acid of the Nphile/Base, then it doesn’t solvate said molecule too much. But it can still stabilize carbocations and whatnot. Weigh in Davedawg?

    In the 3rd problem,will the -OH displace-Cl by sn2 since it's a strong base and primary alkyl halide?
