just wanted to say thanks. definitely reinforced my understanding in how the mech works. cheers
You have made this so easy to understand! After revising for my exam and not remembering it at all, I have watched your series on Wittig Reactions and feel confident I will be able to complete any question they decide to throw at us!
Frank, the editing and structure of your videos has developed so nicely. I'm even further understanding my understanding of orgo. Best of luck with whatever you to choose do and thanks!!
Just thought I'd say you definitely made it easy! I was studying it in class and it made sense there too, but trying to do questions I got a bit confused again and yours definitely helped, especially because you used different colour pens! You're also very easy to understand and follow along with, love the 'hello' at the start :)
you are very detailed about the mechanism and thorough. Thank you! it's really important to understand "WHY" certain steps happen. you made it so clear..... thanks
Yayy, I might actually pass this exam now. Never thought i'd understand this reagent! YOU ROCK, THANKS!!
Oh my God, thank you so much for these videos about the Wittig reaction! (I know they're old, but I'm so happy to find them). You're a great teacher!
You are amazing, the best explaining any organic chemistry topics. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Frank ... thank you for your easy to understand explanations and examples! May I ask that when you give an example to complete, that you stand to the side of the white board please? It makes it easier to copy the diagram correctly in my notes, without having to rewind your tutorial. Otherwise, love the content you are sharing!!! x

I'm a little late to the Frank Wong party, but this is the first time after 7 months in Org 1 and 2 I've had anything more than a tenuous grasp on a mechanism. Thank you!
powerful! following live from kenya
Wonderful explanation, I'm taking my DAT next month and although specific mechanisms won't be on the exam, this helps a ton with predicting products. Thanks and you're cute. :)

Please can you make videos on claissen condensation and adol condensation reaction. You're a live saver. I had be
top and bottom attacks of the carbonyl group to form the two alkene isomers?
Thank u so muxh 😊👌
thanks you soo much...really helped.....want more from u....:)
Thank u soo much.. 😁
If I put a negative charge instead of a double bond between the oxygen and the P on the first reaction would that be wrong? if so how do I know that a double bond is formed between the oxygen and the P?
thanks
Where do you end up using this in "work"? I'm entering college and am having a hard time understanding why one might use this later in life
2:21 haha you're too cute i swear. You have no idea how youre saving me right now. Trying to learn from the textbook is painful.
I LOVE YOU

Good question Edgar! I'm unfortunately not too sure myself but I was just taught that as long as the Ylide doesn't have any resonance in it other than the P-C bond then you will have the Z- Product. But let's say there is a carbonyl C=O group near the negative carbon and can resonate with it then you would have the E- Product.
LOL Finally!!
Bs chemistry And every semester i watch dis video 😂 its been 2 yrs 4 semester and i always watch it
Do you know blackpenredpen ?
Great video! but it isn't clear to me why the Z-alkene is preferably formed. Thank you very much for your contributions!
@OrgoMadeEasy

Adolfo Berro Pizzarossa I'm not quite sure myself but I know for sure if the Ylide is resonance stabilized then you will form the E-alkene and if there is no resonance stabilization then you form the Z-alkene.

you forgot to say why the Wittig reaction give Z or E alkenes (stabilized ylides give E alkenes while unstabilised ylides gives Z alkenes)

Hi, great point! To be honest this was never discussed in my class and I haven't been able to find much resources online which discusses this so I'm afraid I can't explain why behind this. =X
@daniniky
10 жыл бұрын
Frank Wong It is relatively easy as stabilized ylides that can form double bonds (for example with ketones) form already the E alkenes by steric effects and thats why they they form the E while unstabilized alkenes form the Z alkene kinetically (it have to do with the way they approach to each other, it might be easier to see using molecular orbitals)

Hmm interesting, if you have time you should do a quick tutorial video on it explaining with the molecular orbitals ;)
This reaction is not reversible, so why did you put two arrows?
@OrgoMadeEasy
10 жыл бұрын
Ah woops good point, the overall reaction and the very last step should have a single head arrow. But the other arrows should be equilibrium arrows. Like what you see here: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Wittig_Reaction_Mechanism.png/500px-Wittig_Reaction_Mechanism.png

Frank Wong True, The general scheme of the reaction and the last step in the mechanism need to have a single head arrow. It's important. :-)

+Frank Wong I had a test just after watching the video, and the Wittig question involved making an alkyne, not alkene in ours, which threw a lot of people off, so yes it helped me figure that one out. And the E/Z. I live in Australia and don't have skype, so probably wouldn't be much use to me. All the best.

+Frank Wong Watching this from Aussie too haha. I almost cried not understanding the box mechanism when I was studying on my own. I gave up after two hours and watched your video, and it's perfect. Products are easy for me but the box mechanism was very difficult. I have an og2 exam tomorrow, wish me success! Thank you very much Frank!!!!!
