    @brianmathews682 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was wondering in the second to last step it looks like the negatively charged oxygen takes on two protons to form water. Why does it take on 2 to make water instead of taking on 1 to become an alcohol group.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      came from wherever! we can mix anything we want together when we do chemistry. for aldol condensation, you need an aldehyde or ketone.

    During acidic workup, why isn't an alcohol simply formed?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Wukeywukey sometimes you can stop at the aldol addition product (alcohol), but because of the entropic favorability of elimination it'll usually go to the condensation product, especially at higher temperatures.

      absolutely, though we can show the condensation product forming during aqueous acidic workup if we like as well.

    Hi, I added some NaOH+ to my wastewater in order to raise to the pH to 7.0. However, an immediate discolouration of my wastewater occured. I suspect it to be due to aerobic oxidation leading to acetalhyde accumulation that leads to adol condensation. Does the adol condensation produce oligomers and polymers that may cause a darkening of aqueous solution? and am i correct in my thinking?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yikes! out of my wheelhouse. the only thing i can say is that enolate chemistry (aldol, etc.) can indeed lead to polymerization, but i can't say much about pH or color or anything like that.

      I agree, my book shows OH as the leaving group. Even though OH is considered a "bad" leaving group, the condensation product is conjugated and is the driving force behind the reaction. Plus losing a hydrogen and a water is overall losing H3O. Losing a hydrogen an OH is overall losing H20.

    Why do you have -OH2 after work-up? Should it not be -OH followed by base-catalyzed elimination and leaving of the -OH? Because water can leave by itself, no?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      could be, but hydroxides won't protonate in basic conditions, that requires acid work up. if i remember correctly, the elimination probably happens during the workup itself, with just the addition happening while in basic conditions. but i'd have to double check!
