  • leah4sci.com/mechanism presents: Organic Chemistry Reaction Mechanism Patterns explained in 2 complete reactions.
    Need help with Orgo? Download my free guide ’10 Secrets to Acing Organic Chemistry’ HERE: leah4sci.com/orgo-ebook/
    Every reaction mechanism is a series of arrow patterns that can be categorized as Nucleophilic Attack, Loss of Leaving Group, Proton Transfer or Rearrangement. This video walks you through 2 complete reactions showing you how to identify each step.
    Reactions include SN1 reaction of HCl with an alcohol and the acid catalyzed formation of an ether from an alkene - same as acid catalyzed hydration but using a methanol solution.

    If I'm correct, in previous videos, the 2-butinol + chloridric acid go to 2-chlorobutane and h3o+. But in this video it's water and not h3o+. Basicly I just want to know if it is a mistake from your part or does I miss something ?

    • @MOHAMED52904

    8:20 why does the pi Bond seeking for a positive partner attack the hydrogen which is only partially positive while oxygen has an actual postive formal charge?

    • @ShauryaSingh-ts2oc
      @ShauryaSingh-ts2oc Před 3 lety +2

      to do that, you have to break the complete octet of oxygen and form H-. on the other hand, breaking the bonds to break hydrogen's octet and letting oxygen's complete is much more energrtically favourable. As a rule of thumb, you can remember that octet stability holds the higher regard than formal charges. Other opinions are welcomed!

      @@ShauryaSingh-ts2oc I certainly agree with you. That is a good way to visualize it!

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 9 měsíci

      This is a great question! Even though it's oxygen that has a positive charge, the pi bond doesn't know it. huh?
      When oxygen, an electronegative atom has a positive charge, it starts to pull on electron density from nearby atoms onto itself. By pulling on the bonding electrons between H and O towards itself, oxygen feels less positive. Meanwhile, hydrogen's positive nucleus gets exposed when the negative electrons are pulled away. In doing so, the pi bond only sees a partially positive hydrogen rather than a positive oxygen and attacks accordingly

  • @noahbastola9386
    @noahbastola9386 Před 4 lety +1

    at 1:21, why does oxygen attack the H+? Shouldn't H-Cl dissociate because it is a strong acid?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 8 měsíci

      You are absolutely correct, in an aqueous solution HCl will completely dissociate to give H+ and Cl-, however in this case the solvent will be something less polar such as CCl4 and will not cause HCl to dissociate

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 7 měsíci

      HSO4- is a very weak spectator ion and so dissolves in solution and does not react further. Oxygen on the solvent molecule is more reactive and that is why you'll see the methanol (or water or other alcohol) attack when the HSO4- does not

    at 6:21 here it is shown that the lone pair of electrons on the ch3oh pulls the h from the h2s04.
    but why doesnt the lone pair of electrons on the h2so4 pull the h from the ch3oh?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Před 10 měsíci

      The favorability of this reaction- where a proton is removed from H2SO4- is mainly due to sterics. Adding a methoxide to a molecule that already has four bonds around its central atom would create one very bulky (and unstable) molecule.
