How did you do? I'd love to hear your proposals for next week's mechanism so drop them down below! Subscribe for more chemistry content, and hit the notification bell to stay updated! #ScienceCommunity #MechanismMonday #OrganicChemistry
Ayy that was cool seeing LAH used in this way and it stumped me at first. Next week is just a double imine formation then final tautomerization to get the hydrogen on the nitrogen. Keep it up!
Boom. Crushed it! I actually found this week’s mechanism in the organic chemistry textbook we use at Georgia Tech. It’s a cool mechanism for sure! Short and sweet.

Can you please refer the textbook name that you get these conversions
Hi! The mechanisms I post here aren’t from a single source. At Georgia Tech, we use the organic chemistry book by Klein. 3rd edition
Would this be a Grob fragmentation?
Is it possible without dimethyl substitutions?
Great question! I don't know that there's anything inherent to the dimethyl substitution that makes this mechanism possible. What are your thoughts?
@@rojaslabit should promote the reaction further because of its inductive effect that pushes electron towards the alkene is what I think
@@nagarajpai3120 Good call!
