    Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps.

    You are probably the best tutor ( in organic mechanisms) I have ever come across in You Tube. Please keep up the good work.

    This is great. Just a note that H3O+ might be too strong of an acid in these cases, our professor recommends H4NCl.

    Pentavalent carbon? That's a sin! I think there are quite a few errors in this mechanism, most evidence points to a grignard reagent being polar covalent rather than ionic, not to mention the carbon with four bonds plus an electron, that ought to be a physical impossibility, carbon being one of the only elements that strictly follows the octet rule.

      few odd mistake fair enough dt we all make some from what ur video havent quite made the cut..appreciate rather than bringing someones effort down

      +Steve Harold i'm not trying to bring anyone down, those of us that put out educational videos have a responsibility to make sure they are of the utmost accuracy. if there are errors, they should be pointed out so that misinformation isn't propagated.

      I'm sure that you know a whole lot more about organic chemistry than I do but I'm not really seeing your point. My understanding is that a covalent bond, though I'm a little nervous to present a maxim, is only formed between two nonmetal atoms. So, wouldn't that mean that the carbanion's interaction with the Mg would be ionic? Further more, wouldn't that make sense due to the fact that we are talking about ionic interactions? Again, not saying that you are wrong, but the way that this video explains the interactions between magnesium and carbon seems solid. Also, where are you seeing a pentavalent carbon? The only place that I was able to find one was during, what I assume to be, a concerted mechanism in which the Mg donates a single electron to the carbon and the carbon-halogen bond is removed. I am truly curious so please let me know, thanks.

    On the example with the formaldehyde, you attacked the carbonyl using the ncarba nion but should there be an arrow showing the MgBr leaving?

    The type of connection between CM and the type of connection between Mg-X ??

    Hey what about chirality for the aldehyde to secondary alcohol example? I am struggling with chirality and would appreciate some guidance. Does anyone know of a good video explaining chirality in grignard reations?

  • @ccrunnerx92x
    @ccrunnerx92x Před 11 lety

    Is the Grignard reaction a nucleophilic substitution or addition?

    Why is it for the second example that the methyl group went away?

    • @eliacalderon9571
      @eliacalderon9571 Před 10 lety

      I just paused the video and am thinking the same thing...because once the methyl group is added it will no longer be a secondary, but a tertiary alcohol...

    • @saviour175
      @saviour175 Před 10 lety

      The methyl group was still there and it is a secondary alcohol since the alcohol group was attached to a carbon which is bonded to two other C atom.

      same question in my mind right now

  • @Raisuru
    @Raisuru Před 10 lety

    quick question, what are the differences between the half-headed curly arrows and the normal curly arrows?

    • @SubliminalSixtyFive
      @SubliminalSixtyFive Před 10 lety +5

      The half-headed arrow illustrates one electron being moved and the full headed arrow shows two electrons being moved

  • @pamelageorge3487
    @pamelageorge3487 Před 6 lety

    wait why does only one electron from the Mg attack the methyl halide? why not the pair of electrons

  • @salmankazi5308
    @salmankazi5308 Před 9 lety +1

    Could any one tell whats is " E+20 " above the arrow...??
