Hi Victor, I've see a question somewhat similar to the last example. It was on a tough mcat practice passage. I forgot the details but it was an SN1 where the nu could only attack from one side because of steric hindrance, giving a stereospecific product. And many people got it wrong unfortunately.
Yeah, this is a common problem with some of the more advanced questions when students think that if we make a racemic mixture, it will always make the 50-50 mix, while in reality certain molecular features may prevent one attack completely or at least make it very unfavorable like in the last example that you've mentioned.
@@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor Great point. I will definitely be recommending your videos. You're pointing out a lot of problematic areas that trouble the novice students, specially on standardized tests. Cheers!

this is amazing!!!! im watching all your playlist and im finallly understanding!!1
I'm glad it helped :D
Great video bro💪
Thanks so much!!!
You're welcome! Thank you for the awesome question 😉
I wish you could draw their stereoisomers
Yeah, those are tricky. With some practice, you definitely can.
On the 1st eg you said 5 mem ring is more stable than 4 mem ring but on the 2nd one you said 6mem ring is more stable how? 🤔
Thank you!
6-mem is generally most stable. The general trend is 3
