[@jasminechoi8359]

my final exam is going to be on the 7th december and your videos are really helping me clear the concepts that were otherwise super confusing to me before :')) thank you :'))

[@Leah4sci]

I'm so happy that to hear that my videos are finally clearing things up, especially with a few days to go so that you can hopefully do lots of practice

[@wynn7535]

Thank you Leah for this super helpful review!

[@Leah4sci]

You're very welcome!

[@user-ig1hm4hr6l]

I appreciate you so much! I have an exam in a couple days, and this helped me big time! Subscribed :))

Looks like this came just in time for you! Hope you ace tomorrow's exam

[@ruejaeyissara9493]

@ci ill let yk what i got

[@ruejaeyissara9493]

Got 85 percent 😁 that’s the highest I ever gotten on a chem test before

[@jackycruz16]

HI!! My final is on Wednesday 12/13 at 12pm and your videos help sooo much please keep doing them!

[@Leah4sci]

You are very welcome and thank you! Wishing to the best for Wednesday

[@jamespettinato9921]

Dec 15th my final coming soon. but i have an exam on alkenes alkynes alcohols ether and epoxides on tuesday

[@zivaisinemani294]

Is this CHEM 233 @ UBC!? Lmaooo me 2😢

[@Leah4sci]

Oh wow, no break before finals! Wishing you the best on Tuesday's exam

[@anthonykeown416]

I believe in you! (It’s totally not 4 months after the fact hope you did well lol)

[@doraelenathompson6119]

MY EXAM IS THIS TUESDAY DECEMBER 19 AND EVEYTIME I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND DO THE MID TERMS EXAM TO PRACTICE I AM ABLE TO SOLVE MANY REACTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Leah4sci]

This makes me so happy, so glad my videos are helping! I hope you aced your final today

[@sweet-Inorganic-Chemistry]

Excellent

[@Leah4sci]

Thank you so much 😀

When something like Furan reacts with dimethyl maleate, how do I know which pi bond is going to react?

[@Leah4sci]

Furan is a symmetrical molecule and so either pi bond reacting would yield the same product

[@matildeduarte1227]

its currently 9:10 pm and i have the organic chemistry final tomorrow 🙏 had 6 tests last week!!! 💩💀

[@Leah4sci]

Oh my goodness, that's insane! Hope everything turned out well for you!

[@corinneignacio8474]

Hi Leah! Studying organic chemistry has been very intimidating for me since then :(( Then I found your channel; you are definitely a blessing to me

[@Leah4sci]

So glad you found my channel with enough time to review for finals. As for my braincells, I currently have a toddler who doesn't sleep and brings home germs from daycare every other week, my braincells are running on fumes, sure you still want them?

[@kaylabeasley]

For halogenation instead of it being CCl4 could it also be ROOR?

[@Leah4sci]

CCl4 will give you the dark reaction with a carbocation intermediate following Markovnikov's rule while ROOR will give you the light reaction (radical) with an anti-markovnikov product

[@kaylabeasley]

@@Leah4sci Also, I have my final Thursday, will you be able to do a video over how to get from acetylene to a certain product using the alkene/alkyne reactions?

[@wynn7535]

For the hydrohalogenation around the 17:30, why is it a hydride shift and not a methyl shift?

[@jamespettinato9921]

think of it.

[@jamespettinato9921]

if you do a methyl shift the carbocation will jump to carbon 2 and the methyl substitutent will be on carbon 3 thus the carbon cation will still be secondary. but doing the hydride shift the cabication will swap places with the hydride shift and now in this case the carbocation will be tertiary being connected to the carbon groups

[@Leah4sci]

I hadn't even considered it from this direction, YES@@jamespettinato9921

[@Leah4sci]

Hydride shift is preferred over methyl shift. Always aim for H then alkyl group

[@jamespettinato9921]

can u also cover hydroboration oxidation it’s very confusing

[@Leah4sci]

I have an entire video dedicated hydroboration on this page: leah4sci.com/alkene-reactions/
