I like your use of Markovnikov's idea here! It both plausibly explains these reactions and teaches us Markovnikov's rule. Both easier to use and more educational about Chem generally.

It would be a good idea to also mention the idea of "hydride shifting" in this matter. At 6:55 even if someone drew the first intermediate with a secondary carbocation, one should always look if a shift of some type (hydride or alkyl) can occur that leads from a less stable carbocation to a more stable carbocation. The newly formed bond with the tertiary hydrogen can shift to the secondary carbocation, and leave a tertiary carbocation where the hydrogen previously was.

I think you should reorganize your videos in the order things are taught in organic chemistry course because at the moment relevant videos were difficult for me to find. For example, the first part of your videos could be alkanes, chair formations, e-z, resonance, etc. Then the second part, could be alkenes, alkynes, mechanisms, NMR/IR stuff, Markovnikov, etc. If you do that, I think you could increase your views significantly.

And can you also explain how we can expand the ring from 5 to 6 carbons using hydrohalogenation

@Leah4sci

7 ай бұрын

A 6 carbon ring is most stable and so the intermediate will rearrange to give you the more stable version

Hi Leah, When doing an ionic addition to an alkene, how do you know when you will have a racemic mixture?

Would you also take into account stereochemistry when it is a chiral carbon? So for the HCL & HI example there would be two major products?

@Leah4sci

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you could. The hydrohalogenation reaction produces a racemic mixture of syn and anti products. One stereochemical configuration is not preferred over the other. Showing both stereoisomers as products would be completely okay.

Ma'am in the last example that you explained in this video. Isn't the benzyl carbonation more stable than the 3° carbonation? So shouldn't the Br go to the c attached to the 3° carbonation.

the last example is both regioselectivity and stereoselective

@Leah4sci

8 ай бұрын

At which time in the video? Hydrohalogenation is regioselective in that the product follow's Markovnikov's rule where the incoming nucleophile adds at the more substituted position. This reaction is NOT stereospecific given that it undergoes a carbocation intermediate. Since carbocations are sp2 (flat) the incoming nucleophile can attack from either side giving you a racemic product

At 2:10, when a halogen gets a full octet, shouldn't the formal charge be zero?

@Leah4sci

2 жыл бұрын

No, the formal charge is -1 here. Halogens have 7 valence electrons, and when they gain a full octet, their formal charge is calculated by saying: 7 - 8 = -1 To learn more about formal charge, read about my shortcut at leah4sci.com/formal-charge-formula-and-shortcut/

its how many carbons attached to it. Basically 3 lines (makes it looks like a stick person without arms) tetiary (means 3 carbons). Double bond with a line? (its only technically 2 lines. secondary (2 carbon)). triple bond with a line attached.. guess what its still just two lines attached (secondary). Is it a part at the end with only one line but nothing on the other side? (that is primary carbon)

8:11 won't there be a ring expansion?

@Leah4sci

8 ай бұрын

If the carbocation forms on the primary carbon NEXT TO the ring then we have an option for ring expansion. However in this case there's nowhere for the carbocation to go and so the ring remains as 5 carbons

i didnt understand why on the second example, the hydrogen went to the secondary carbon and then, on the cyclohexane example, the hydrogen went to the secondary and not the tertiary

@Leah4sci

5 ай бұрын

We want to focus more on the position of the carbocation rather than on where the hydrogen goes. We want to form the more stable carbocation intermediate for a Markovnikov product. In the second example that begins at 2:50, the hydrogen is placed on the primary carbon, so that the carbocation formed is secondary. In the final cyclohexene example, the hydrogen happens to be placed on a secondary position, so that the more stable tertiary carbocation can be formed. For more on carbocation stability, make sure to see my tutorial at Leah4sci.com/carbocation

is this anti or syn addition?
