Dude....oh my gosh. WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS?! I've been looking for videos that explain the idea of E1 Elimination mechanisms fully and clearly, and I haven't been able to find one. Until now. Thank you, SO much.

great video. you get really worked up to some excitement towards the end :)

why does the water attacks the proton i mean isn't the sulfuric acid more reactive i mean it needs to have 8 electrons HSO4- which now has 7 ?

Excellent video.

Great video on the mechanisms! I'm actually trying to do something similar on my channel with Orgo hopefully I'll be able to explain it just as well as you :D

If o chem has taught me anything, it's how to draw perfect hexagons and seeing yours were like nails on a chalk board but other than that this video is amazing

Why wouldn't the bromide anion grab the proton rather than the ethanol?

@lyricson4ya

Because bromide is a weak base and hence is more stable as bromide ion....ethanol being a stronger base will accept the proton

thanks man, helped a lot

Why would ethanol act as a base and not a nuecleophile for Sn1 reaction? That doesn't make sense to me. It's not a good base.

+TheShot Doctorr No it's possible. It's called competitive reactions. An E1 elimination reaction and Sn1 reaction compete for the reactants. So it is possible for the ethanol to attack the carbocation intermediate .

I think the SN1 is not favored because of the heat involved. I think I recall heat having a big influence on SN1 or E1.

Where do the H+ protons come from? From the H2SO4?

DeeFaaabulous Yes. From the H2SO4. Sulphuric acid in it's aqueous state dissociates into two protons (H+) and one SO4(2-) ion.

Chemistry is a very broad subject in Science

thanks for yoour charming suggetion

Thank you :)

how Oxygen gets positive charge. and what about those remaining lone pairs??

@BryhanEspinosa

+anuj giri Oxygen has a positive charge because it has 3 bonds and one lone pair. So it has 5 electrons in total and a neutral oxygen has 6 electrons! Hope this helped. I don't know what you mean by the remaining lone pairs. If you're asking why there's a lone pair and not one electron is because electrons like to have complete orbitals. That's why you will never have a single electron, although in Quantum mechanics that can be refuted but that's a different story.

Thank you so much

@ 10:54 two beta carbons were labeled while there were three of them

+Harsh Parekh No, there's only two beta carbons. The carbon you're referring to is the Alpha carbon. Why? Because that carbon is directly bonded to the leaving group. However alpha carbons can undergo a reaction known as a Sn1 reaction where the ethanol will act as nucleophile rather than a base.

Ok so clearly sorting by upload date only worked for the first 6 videos. Where am I supposed to go now? Because this I understand= zero. I must have missed a ton somewhere? Ya'll need better playlists on this. With the recommended viewing order for learning this stuff. Like throwing 80 books of french with all varying degrees and someone and saying hop in and learn french. Not to sound ungrateful, thank you for the vids. Just as stands now they pretty useless till organized in order. =/
