    why do so many o.chem books leave out the ring expansion topic when they teach alkene mechanisms? Thumbs Up Ms. Fisch! Thanks for the explanation.

      I read my textbooks reaction mechanism chapters from start to finish and didn’t find anything about it! You could then imagine my disappointment when I saw a question similar on my practice exam.

  • @suupeerior8606
    @suupeerior8606 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Amazing explanation. I just have one question. At 2:22, you chose to break that bond to shift it over. What if you chose the right side of the cyclo butane. When I tried doing this myself, I got 1,3-dimethylcyclopentan-1-ol. I am not too sure if we can do it like this though. Did you arbitrarily pick that bond of the cyclobutane? Thank you!

    • @sambhavnapati3313
      @sambhavnapati3313 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really sure but ........ the bond on the left is broken may be because it's more unstable due to the alkyl grp connected to it .

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Yes, it was an arbitrary decision to break the bond on the left. The situation that you have laid out is a viable alternative to the mechanism in this video. It is very likely that the product mixture of this particular reaction would contain a large percentage of 1,3-dimethylcyclopentan-1-ol.

    " If a carbocation have two possibilities one is rearrangement and 2nd is internal ring attack,what would happen " eg. If 1-chloro-2-methyl-4-(meta-toluine) butane +AlCl3 ------> what's the final product , please please if possible answer my doubt 🥺🥺🥺 , waiting

      You're very welcome!
      Ring expansion is favorable when it produces a more stable, 5- or 6-membered ring. Remember that 6-membered rings are THE most stable and “happy” cyclic structures. 5-membered rings are also preferable to smaller ones.

    great video .... and ..can there be two ring expansions in any possible way could the cyclopentane ring expand to cyclohexane cuz cyclohexane is the most stable acc. to baeyer's strain theory

    • @vaddadisairahul2956
      @vaddadisairahul2956 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      according to buyers strain theory, six membered ring is more stable so 7 membered ring will undergo contraction to 6 membered ring and by the way a 4 membered ring will convert to 5 membered ring only and similarly a 5 membered to 6

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you have the option to create a more stable ring, ideally 6 C from 5 or 7, you'll get a ring expansion or contraction

    What would happen if we did do a hydride shift earlier for the last problem?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you’re speaking of the decision to expand the ring, it was MORE preferable for the alkyl shift (ring expansion) to proceed because of the large increase in stability that a 5-membered ring provides. The hydride shift to form a tertiary carbocation on the cyclobutane does not happen in place of the ring expansion.

    Why doesn't the bond on the right of the square break instead of the top of the square? How do you know which bond will break?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a great question! In actuality, either bond can break, leading to a mixture of possible products. My TH-cam videos are only brief overviews of these concepts. For in depth help with questions like this and more, I recommend joining the organic chemistry study hall.

    can this allow a primary carbocation to form, i just got a ring expansion question on an org exam but the leaving group was attached to a primary carbon. It's been a mantra throughout the course that primary carbocations are too unstable and dont form, so it dosnt make any sense

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Primary carbocations should NOT form without resonance to stabilize the charge

  • @maryhuang3884
    @maryhuang3884 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    From the structure, it seems like carbocation should be on C1. How do we know it's on C5 after the ring expansion?

      Look at which carbon lost a bond and got nothing back in return

    Why did oh- attack tertiary carbonation and not secondary. Isn't tert carbonation more stable?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary. That is exactly why the tertiary one is present when the water molecule comes in to attack. It is so stable that the hydride shift happens almost instantaneously in this reaction to produce the more stable tertiary intermediate (rather than having the secondary carbocation persist).

    Medam,please help me, if adjacent carbon of carbocation contain two methyl groups and one phenyl group then which will shift first? Why? And if this carbon contain two phenyl groups and one methyl then which will shift first,why?
    Which is true order ? Hydride>phenyl>alkyl
    Or
    Hydride>alkyl>phenyl?

      At which point in the video?

    • @nicksahloby4097
      @nicksahloby4097 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      ring strain is proportional to the angles in the the cycloalkane. as she mentioned in the video, the carbons are most stable when they form angles around 109.5. going from a square to a pentagon actually reduces the angles at every coroner and thus the strain.
      it can be a little unclear to think about a square vs. a pentane. instead, picture a cyclopropane, which would be a triangle. now compare that to a square. which one has tighter angles? the triangle. thus more strain.

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you look on top of and below the reaction arrow, you'll see that the reagents in this reaction are an acid in water. When a strong acid is placed in water, it completely dissociates to form the hydronium ion, which is H3O+. I've rewritten that to H-OH2+, so that you can visualize the proton that is being attacked.
