    Need help with orgo? Download my free guide '10 Secrets to Acing Organic Chemistry' HERE: leah4sci.com/or...
    This video shows you how to quickly come up with products for an intramolecular aldol condensation reaction followed by the step by step mechanism. You'll also learn how to identify products that came FROM an intramolecular aldol reaction so that you can quickly break open the ring to identify the starting molecules.
    This is video 7 in the Enolate Reaction series. Catch the entire series along with the Enolate practice quiz and cheat sheet on my website: leah4sci.com/en...

  • @boyisun
    @boyisun Před 7 lety +17

    at 7:41 , why is this molecule symmetrical? If you count from left, the first ketone group you will meet is on carbon 3; whereas if you from right then the first ketone group you will meet is on carbon 4.

    • @katcurry3000
      @katcurry3000 Před 4 lety +4

      She means that the middle two carbons between the two carbonyl groups are the same. You can either use the hydrogens on carbon #2 or carbon #4 (the green alpha carbons, not the red ones). She’s not saying the entire molecule is symmetrical. She’s saying there is a symmetry between the two carbonyls from carbons 1, 2, 4, and 3.

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 4 měsíci

      Oh wow you're right 🤦, I meant to draw a different molecule so that it would be perfectly symmetrical. I hope the remainder of the problem still helped you with this topic

      Use the same logic for evaluation as you would for a cross Aldol when evaluating which end of the molecule will attack vs get attacked

    Hi Leah,
    I have a question: when bisecting the enone, how do you know where to place the second oxygen? On the top half or bottom half of the enone? Can you explain, and give some detail? Thank you so much! Please let me know. (I have an exam on Wednesday.)
    Best,
    Rina

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 2 lety

      For which specific example in this video are you asking this question? I think we should focus less on whether it's the 'top or bottom' half and more on placing the oxygen on the correct carbon of the compound.

    @aminalhaq23 Před 7 lety

    How would you know - when a base takes off a proton - if the electrons stay on the carbon OR if they make a double bond and kick up to the oxygen. Is there a trick for that?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 6 měsíci

      If both can happen, and they are resonance forms of each other, what you actually get is an in-between hybrid. What you choose to SHOW in the mechanism depends on how you learned it, and which step you're on. I typically show resonance with the electrons 'parked' on oxgyen until carbon is ready to attack

    So what happens when you have an unsymmetrical keto aldehyde?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 6 lety +2

      You get multiple mixed products. For the trick, assuming they can each be an 'A' or 'B' write out the following combos.
      A-A
      A-B
      B-B
      B-A
      Where the first attacks and the second gets attacked. If a ketone is reactive on BOTH ends you get even more options. For your sanity I hope you don't get that on your exam ;)
