  • Hi there! In this video, I go through an in-depth discussion of the E2 (elimination 2) mechanism, its properties, and the ever-confusing topic of antiperiplanar! Organic chemistry can be a real daunting topic, and I hope this video makes it a bit easier!

      Also agree. 4:45 was best, thank you for telling me that it is only necesary for them in 1plane, in lecture Prof told that reason is about Orbitals, and I thought it was about HOMO/LUMO and stuff that synperiplanar has wrong signs of wavefunction if some Electrons have to move to higherexcited states and stuff. But MO would fit both same-plan, as they just want to be in position to π-bond, but synperi loses to steric reasons.

    So an E2 reaction will proceed through an antiperiplanar transition state and an E1 reaction will proceed through any of the two (though anti will be preferred) ?

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  2 роки тому

      Great question! My understanding is that since E1 starts with carbocation formation, there isn't really a sense of antiperiplanar. This is in contrast to E2, where there is a clear preference for the antiperiplanar arrangement. Hope this helps!

  • @julia-ex7im
    @julia-ex7im 6 років тому

    i understand the logic behind the new based on how you numbered the carbons but why wouldnt the carbon attacked to the phenyl group be number 1 and the carbon attached 2 the methyl be 2? v confused please help got a test tomorrow!!

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  6 років тому

      Hi there! So I assigned those two numbers totally arbitrarily to make the example clearer (i.e. to make it easier to follow the carbons). Hope this helps!

    • @julia-ex7im
      @julia-ex7im 6 років тому

      okay, if i were to give the opposite number of the carbons would the final product turn out the same? and are you always looking down relative to the 1st carbon?
      Thank you so so much

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  6 років тому

      So let's say, looking at the molecule I drew, I changed the numbers so that the carbon that's attached to the phenyl became carbon 1, and the carbon attached to the methyl became carbon 2. Then, if I followed the same steps and looked down the molecule with the new carbon 1 in front of me and the new carbon 2 behind it, I should get the same product. Please let me know if I understood your question correctly!

    Super clear and helpful, thank you so much. One question though:
    Is it okay to rotate the molecule while its still in the line/skeletal representation instead of putting it in a newmann projection? I tried rotating the molecule to get it anti-periplanar without making the newmann and I seem to have gotten it right. I just don't like drawing those projections haha.

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  6 років тому

      Hey there! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. If you have found an alternative method for finding antiperiplanar arrangement then go for it! I always preferred the Newman projection because it really helps me visually. Be sure to check with your teacher about his/her preferred method for E2 problems, and definitely show him/her your method to make sure it’ll work for all problems. Best of luck in your course!

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  7 років тому +5

      Anti - to reduce torsional strain, minimize van der Waals interactions
      Periplanar - so that p orbitals can overlap to form the pi bond
      Hope this helps!

    What must be antiperiplanar? The substrate or the product?

    • @yakscience4937
      @yakscience4937  7 років тому +1

      Hi Joel. The hydrogen that we plan on removing and the leaving group should be antiperiplanar to each other. These atoms are found in the substrate. So, in order to form our alkene product, we need our substrate to have the leaving group and the hydrogen we wish to remove to be periplanar (and ideally, antiperiplanar) to each other. Hope this helps!
