Alcohols are amphiprotic meaning they can act as both acids and bases. This video breaks down the acidity and basicity of alcohols including a review of trends for acid/base strength including charge, electronegativity, resonance and inductive effect. Practice examples every step of the way.
In this video:
[0:16] Behavior of an alcohol
[3:08] Sample SN1 question
[4:40] Two methods to form an alkoxide
[6:36] Most Know Alkoxides
[9:39] Explanation of electronegativity
[11:39] Sample molecule with resonance
[13:38] Explanation of induction and stability

Leah, I really appreciate that you posted these guides. I find them extremely comprehensive and applicable to my Orgo 2 class. Your teaching is easy to follow and you make seemingly esoteric subjects accessible.

Thank you.
I am almost done with self studying organic chemistry I and will be heading to organic chem II soon. Thanks for all your videos, without them my self-learning journey would be more challenging. Organic chemistry became one of my favourite MCAT topics and I will let you know the day when I achieved a 524 (my goal) as I will owe it to material you provide for free!

in the SN1 reaction, what makes the Br leaves at the first step to make the carbocation?
@Leah4sci
Ай бұрын
Bromine is a great leaving group because it is able to accept electrons and has the size necessary to retain them in solution. If bromine is attached to a more stable tertiary position, it is happy to leave the molecule in solution to create the tertiary carbocation intermediate necessary in the SN1 mechanism.
should the ethoxide more acidic than enolate because having a negative charge on the carbon makes the enolate less stable? i'm so confuse
@Leah4sci

Enolate shares a negative with both C and O where ethoxide is only negative on the O. no sharing of charge means lower stability. See my enolate videos for this leah4sci.com/enolate
Cleared all my doubts

Mam can you explain why negative charge comes when double get shifted .
@kathleenbefittwell8179

When the atom loses the double bond, it is then down a bond, making it have a -1 charge. Check out Leah4Sci videos on formal charge :)

The key is to reevaluate every atom after electrons move to recalculate formal charge as I teach here: leah4sci.com/formal-charge-formula-and-shortcut/
May I know what happen when 2methyl-2propanol react with water?

At time 11:00 u told oxygen with negative charge is least reactive in another ur substitution video u told oxygen carring negative charge is more concentrated and more reactive
@Leah4sci

It is the least reactive in comparison to a negative nitrogen or a negative carbon atom. All of them are considered reactive, in terms of organic reactions and mechanisms.

It’s a little hard to focus on the lesson because the speaker’s voice is so stylized and unnatural. A more natural style would be greatly appreciated.

This is my voice and my natural way of speaking, and therefore my most natural style.
