To anyone who hasn’t studied Organic Chemistry a bit, forewarning it’ll be bad at first, but it will get better. Mostly I mean reaction mechanisms here but in general. You’ll feel more satisfied and more motivated the more you go on.
You guys, seriously, LIVE SAVIOURS. My organic chemistry course is starting next week. Can you imagine my sheer relief at seeing this course on ur channel? Thanks!
omg you're such a good teacher. I've already had all my org chem classes and I still don't understand a lot of the basic stuff. My teachers actually didn't bother to teach us this :/
Thank you for the video. Have you ever considered creating a course oriented more towards mathematics? I am an avid fan of your videos, but often have to turn to other resources for mathematical help.
Math is definitely a tricky one for us. We've made a couple attempts - Statistics here on this channel & this summer we did Alegbra with ASU. But who knows, maybe down the line we'll try other math coures! -NS
I have a question: According to the reaction mechanism isn’t the reverse reaction also possible for all reactions Take benzyl chloride for example. We can draw a reaction mechanism for the given reaction C6H5CH2Cl + H2O = C6H5CH2OH + HCl But we can also do the same for the reverse reaction which is not possible in real life. So how do we know if the given reaction mechanism will actually happen?

@@Hambxne and i would like to add ... And all the water they get is from their food they can't drink sea water So it means if they starve they also are dehydrated Edit: some species of whales will not eat seasonally , they get the water from their fat stores/blubber When you burn fat you get energy Which gets converted to heat , co² , and water .
The acetylide salt + cyclohexanol reaction is probably occurring in aqueous solution, otherwise the salt wouldn't dissociate, right? So why doesn't the acetylide ion attack the protons in the H2O molecules instead? Is it because the carbonyl's δ+ carbon atom is somehow more electrophilic than the hydrogen atoms in the water? The bonds in water have an electronegativity difference of ~1.2, and the carbonyl double-bond has an electronegativity difference of ~1. So why is it that, in this reaction, water's protons are less attractive to the acetylide ions than the electrophilic carbon in cyclohexanone?
I understand that water is formally excluded from the first step in the reaction & that this is just a pedagogical proof of concept, but in a real situation, how would I be able to *predict* that the acetylide would attack the δ+ carbon atom instead of one of the *more* δ+ protons in H2O?
ok I just read on Wikipedia that the reaction is usually done in liquid ammonia, which is a nucleophile & so would not be attacked by the acetylide. I guess I answered my own question lol.

A few misleading things in this video. First of all a lot of the structures are not great: molecular geometries were wrong for sulfuric acid and H3O+, and there’s the tendency to show square-planar-type structures for organic molecules - obviously people do this for the purpose of teaching, but then when you want to show a mechanism, e.g. an elimination, you need to introduce another method of representation for it to make sense. Speaking of which, the reversible hydration/dehydration would surely give the E alkene as the major alkene component, very quickly. As presented in the video, it makes it look like you would have a mixture of the Z alkene and the alcohol, which effectively would not be true. Also the reference to pKa was quite odd: why state that the protonated alcohol has a low pKa if it’s not going to be compared to H3O+ in the forward direction?

Production values are exceptional. Huge respect to your awesome animators
Aw thank you! This made me smile :)
this is where o-chem all went downhill for me 🥴

So, so grateful for the people at Crash Course.
I lost track of what's happening 10 episodes ago. This isn't even my major. I don't know why I'm still watching 😂
Well this is major and i lost track too 😂
This channel is a savior when
It comes to reviewing for my exams.
FINALLY, I GET IT
thank you ever so much that was a wonderful and clear explanation, and the visuals really helped
I just can't take my eyes off of the background colors matching in yellow.. 😂
You are AMAZING! I'm taking Ochem 2 and this is such a helpful refresher for the small details

i love mechanisms , its so logical and fun
Just in time for my quiz later. Thank you.
Great teacher ❤
I wonder what the mechanism is for "Turn the O2 into the O3, dawg".
Google the Chapman cycle!

Take benzyl chloride for example. We can draw a reaction mechanism for the given reaction

This is such an excellent educational tool.
It would be so great if after this classes we had some exercises...
If you download the app they have some "notecards" that I've actually found very helpful.

Why doesn't the HSO4 negative charge attack the carbocation more readily than the water? Steric hinderance?
Wow 🤩😲very informative video!!!!

Thanks now I get it
i love you crash course💚
Corona:"I spread fast"
Me: "not faster than crash course views"😎
Mmmm, no there are many other channels get more views in less time
@@prem5176 yup

Thanks for uploading new video.
I got most of it but what happened to the HSO4? Why was it not added to the reaction

Thank you Crash Course, you give me something new in this video. XD
Hey are u from India? I'm from India! Love u guys!
Wish I had this for orgo 1. I barely passed with a B but im stuck in orgo 2
Thanks
I wish I found this channel sooner
Nice piece.
Great explanation of Reaction Mechanisms.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! 16th comment I love CrashCourse.
That warning sign was scary
Soooo gooood! Can you show us elimination of N2 form amines (by HNO2) . I thinks that it s very interesting reaction. Good luck
Idk if I’ve ever been this early
Yay, app!
why do you input an empty line before every line of your subtitles?
cant understand a thing 😭😭

Organic reactions tend to proceed to give multiple products. Usually one of.the products is a polymeric material often called tar.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When did science look so damn good 🤤
27 seconds gang
Most people driving don't seem to know what a Yield sign means.
in the next video,deboki di plz try to explain the diff. btw inductive ,electromeric,mesomeric n hyperconjugation....really it ll help me a lot...🙏
Me watching their videos from 2013...
Hot Mic.
So, to the business of business.
When will crash course Asian and African history come.
Wait
When your organic chem teacher doesn't teach you properly!
I am an unreactive mechanism

can i get a shout out?

Oy
You lost me at electrophilic additions of a protein to an alkaline.
I need to go back over my high school chemistry lol
I thought I was going to finally learn how to drive uggg...
Way over my simple mind.
Can you guys please bring back Human Geography T_T
So tired of reaction videos.
Sorry, you are what?
Focus on the problem rather focusing on theories in organic chemistry .we need much practice to familiar with OC.
The real life map analogy is so unnecessary. Can’t we just get to the point?
