Alkyne Reactions & Tautomerization: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #18

Carbon-carbon double bonds are pretty common in nature, but triple bonds between carbons, called alkynes, are not. When alkynes do pop up in nature, it’s usually in a compound that’s toxic to humans, however, we can synthesize alkynes that are life saving medicines and materials. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll learn about alkynes and some of the reactions we can use them in (hint: it’s a lot of the same reactions we used for alkenes!)

    As an organic chemist, I decided to watch this for fun while having breakfast. I quickly found myself glued to the screen! The explanation is so clear and elegant, yet thorough enough to help you pass an organic chemistry 101 exam; the illustrations are really high quality and the animation really helps with understanding electron pushing. I feel like some university level organic chemistry lectures would greatly be improved if the teacher just played this video at half-speed. I'll definitely be watching more of these. Huge thanks to the whole Crash Course team!

Seeing the comments sections makes me even more sure that students are happy with fun learning chemistry on this way like this

    A quick note on hydroboration-oxidation: typically, disiamylborane (a "bulkier" variation of borane) is used to prevent the formation of messy product mixtures. Since alkynes have two pi bonds and can react twice, a reaction with borane causes unwanted, extra additions. However, the steric hindrance from using disiamylborane prevents such extraneous additions from happening. Therefore, disiamylborane is useful in hydroboration-oxidation because the reaction would only yield one major organic product, which is typically desired.

    For the base-catalyzed tautomerization reaction, wouldn't it be inaccurate to use BH3? BH3 can perform the addition twice, so in order to prevent this from happening wouldn't you need a larger boron compound with two large substituents? Like disiamylborane? A larger boron molecule would mean more steric hindrance and ensure water doesn't add across the alkyne twice and you get the desired product, unlike with BH3.

    Keto-enol tautomerism is the most common tautomer couple, right? What's the compound example?

  • @auracantikacamila7372

    @auracantikacamila7372

    3 жыл бұрын

    Yaps, keto-enol tautomerism is the most common tautomerism. Keto-enol tautomerism refers to a chemical equilibrium between a keto form (a ketone or an aldehyde) and an enol (an alcohol). The keto and enol forms are said to be tautomers of each other. For example, aseton. Acetone is the simplest of ketones, used as a polar solvent in most organic reactions. Acetone has acidic hydrogen atoms, so it can ionize to produce enolate ions. Enolat ions can be in two forms, it's keto and enol. I'm sorry, if my answer is incorrect, please correct it. Thank you✨
