videos are sooooooooo much better than my class!

It's surprisingly hard to find a reaction mechanism this well constructed. Thanks.

Thank you so much!! You are truly great at simplifying the concepts!!

Clear and organized explanation! Thank you! 🙂

Brilliant video, thank you so much. Very clear and well explained, subbed

Thank you for uploading video Very simple to understand

Thank you so much, this was super helpful for me.

You rock, thank you for these videos

You are awesome at this! Thank you so much!

Thanks Brian! I'm glad you like the explanation. It just clicked how simple it was actually one day for me in a tutoring session and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Good education vidios ... preparing ylides 👍🏻

Thx for uploading so many useful videos! Hopefully u could make more Orgo 2 videos later on.! And it would be best if u could leave the board alone for a sec since i wanna take a snapshot of all these notes !! u r so good at teaching, keep it up!!

Lexi W Haha thanks for the support! Yeah more Orgo 2 videos is definitely a goal but it'll just take some time =X. Gluck in the meantime ;)

very helpful!

Thank you so much!!!!!

useful video👍

Nice video ！

Thank you!!!!

Your video was very simple and east to understand, thank you! Except I have one question about the alkyl halide. You listed that Fluorine could be one of the halogens for the SN2 reaction, but I thought Fluorine was a bad leaving group because it's rarely observed.

Ah good catch! Fluorine is not so great of a leaving group so you'd probably see either Cl, Br, I as the halide. Sorry about the late response!

Hey! Really nice video.. Just wondering where the halide goes.. especially when you have a stable phosphonium salt, so one can deprotonate with a weak base such as NaOH, which forms water?

Caylee Luden Thanks! And good question Caylee. I believe it's just sitting in solution as either a Cl-, Br-, or I-. (As someone noted F is not a good leaving group and should not be used). I don't usually see NaOH being used for this reaction, it might be good to check with your professor about that. I usually see NaH being used or a grignard organometallic like the other one I used.

Great

Question: since Fluorine isn't the best leaving group in the world, would this reaction work with it?

Can water be count as one of the bases? Can you also use -OH or is it unlikely to have -OH by itself?

Excuse me sir could be kind enough to make a video for the preparation of Gilman reagent

thanks

Hi Frank, what causes the base to be selective towards deprotonating the carbon adjacent to the phosphorous? Thanks!

@OrgoMadeEasy

Hi Pyrogore! So the base is selective to deprotonating that carbon adjacent to the phosphorus because of the positive charge on the Phosphorus which makes it tug on the electron density of the carbon. This weakens the bonds between the C-H and makes the H more acidic and likely to react with a base and be pulled off. Does that make more sense? :]

Makes perfect sense now, thanks Frank!

Perfect! Glad to hear :]

I don't understand where the extra Hydrogen from the carbon chain ends up that was replaced by the protons from the hydrogen part of the base?

Respect with thanths

phosphorus is a penta coordinating element (pcl5) then why does it not make a double bond with carbon? what is the reason of the occurance of charge on c and p?

@OrgoMadeEasy

True it is a penta coordinating element but in this reaction Phosphorus only has two spare electrons which can only form a single bond with carbon when it attacks via SN2 and kicks out Carbon's leaving group halogen. Phosphorus is positive because it was neutral before when it had 3 bonds and a lone pair before the attack. But then it lost an electron to carbon when it attacked carbon and formed a bond. Carbon becomes negative because it gained an electron from the C-H bond after the base pulls off the hydrogen.

thank you so much, please be a teacher🤗

Ugh...why do O Chem teachers always over complicate things? Your explanation is SO much easier to understand!

sir why only sn2

Good luck with the "super"primary alkyl fluoride🙄

Very informative thank you! I cringe everytime I watch you though; you're a litle awkward

Thank you. Very helpful :-)
