my chemistry teacher told me this Friday that I'll have a oral exam about this topic tomorrow, because I missed the exam, and I was very nervous about it, but this actually helped me! Thank you!
@khanacademy i believe you made a mistake at 3:53 supposing that you should numbering the chain from the opposite direction so that the alkyne would get the lowest number possible
Good suggestion, but the alcohol is the highest priority functional group in this molecule, and the rule is we need to give it the lowest number possible.
I might've missed this being mentioned at some point in the playlist .. but I do not understand why and when would we start numbering the Carbon atoms from right to left or vice versa. Help? :) Oh, and I've been getting a lot of help from your videos and obsessed a lot over them at school which resulted in my teacher using your work to help us understand better! Thank you!
Hi guys i recently finished my biomed degree so revisiting all the resources i used lool reminiscing massive fan of khan academy.. starting my uni course in medicine if anyone want some inside info lmk more than happy to help :)
for the cyclohexanol would i matter if i wrote it as 1-cyclohexanol? And for the 2nd example can i count starting from the other side ( right to left) instead ?
@@gccgmt1079 i think it can't be octinol since we've already used the OH group as a prefix, which was the "hydroxy" in the name. So in this alternative name, since we've used OH as a substituent, we will have the "yne" as suffix for the parent chain

@@ADOSMOORINOS hahahaha! I understand. In a few years I'll probably forget all of these too. Before replying, i thought that it's no use replying anymore since this question was from a few years ago and I'm extra late 🤣 but I realized that in the future ppl might scroll through the comments and stumble across this question, so I answered to give clarity. I hope I helped them 🤣
daniel pardenilla I think that that would be the correct name, since the location of the triple bond is prioritized over the location of the substituents.
The alcohol overpowers everything right? So you have to give the alcohol the lowest number which means you have to start numbering to the end of the chain that will give the alcohol the lowest number. The alcohol group is telling you where to number.
In Europe at least this video would be incorrect. You count carbons from the shortest possible end. For instance with 2-pentanol, the correct labels are: 1 2 3 2 1 not: 5 4 3 2 1 Use this for an A-Level/O-Level/International and Euro-baccalaureates and you WILL get the question wrong.
I'm quite confused. shouldn't the last example be a pentane? instead of propane? how did it became a propane when its structure did not show any differences on the first example except on the 2 alcohol group at both ends?
In this molecule, since it is an alcohol, the priority of numbering is given to the alcohol group(OH). The carbon with the OH attachment is counted from the left giving it the number 4 versus from the right giving it a higher number of 5
"might do it in an indirect way" hahhaha love the subtlety :)
Stop reading the comments and get back to revision

tyyy
I'm in a completely unrelated field, but I enjoy these lessons on my lunch breaks. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
I wish I discovered these videos before I flunked A level chemistry. They really make chemistry idiot proof.

God bless you good sir, helping with science one problem at a time, not all heros wear capes
3:16 let's try to name this BEAST!!!! 😂😂😂
Your videos are much easier than listening to my teacher. Vary Informative. ThankS:D
I think its legit to name the second compound as 2,2 dibromooct -3 -yne-5-ol
That’s what I was thinking
you really helped me to understand biochem! Thank you!!!!!
Love your videos> I'm not even taking organic chemistry yet , and I still enjoy watching them .
@khanacademy i believe you made a mistake at 3:53 supposing that you should numbering the chain from the opposite direction so that the alkyne would get the lowest number possible
Good suggestion, but the alcohol is the highest priority functional group in this molecule, and the rule is we need to give it the lowest number possible.
but can that molecule even exist?
Yes u r correct my friend it was my doubt too and according to IUPAC lowest numbering rule comes at priority
alcohol is more prioritized than alkyne my friend.
OMFG i got a test tomorrow and i was sooo DESPERATE until i saw your video!!!!
nice work !!
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW
Great! ❤ 😊
Thanx for informing about the difference between ethanol and methanol!
Interesting. surely calling the molecuel 2,2-dibromooct-4-yn-5-ol. because that way you get a lower total of numbers over all.
Very helpful.Thanks alot.
I might've missed this being mentioned at some point in the playlist .. but I do not understand why and when would we start numbering the Carbon atoms from right to left or vice versa. Help? :)
Oh, and I've been getting a lot of help from your videos and obsessed a lot over them at school which resulted in my teacher using your work to help us understand better! Thank you!
I learn everything from this man. not my professors.
"Indirect way"
Hi guys i recently finished my biomed degree so revisiting all the resources i used lool reminiscing massive fan of khan academy.. starting my uni course in medicine if anyone want some inside info lmk more than happy to help :)
That help me! Thank you!
yes, i was always taught that the double/triple bond has precedence over everything else
I had a test on these in school. Helps out a ton!
Oooo...my god...12 years before..u commented on this video
R u there...😅??
helps a lot !! thnxx!
Because the fact that it's an alcohol takes precedence over the fact that the carbon skeleton is of an alkane.
Me who just surfing videos for indian jee mains exam :
" My expectation is beyond your imagination "
but in the case of alcohols, start numbering nearer the hydroxyl group. :)
Thanks! I was learning stuff about alcohols today and you so happen to post a video about it =]
سلام عليكم انت من الجزائر راني محتاجك
@khanacademy for the 7,7-dibromo-oct-5-yn-4-ol, why wouldn't it be 2,2-dibromo-oct-3-yn-5-ol?
Are there any other alcohols besides ethanol that you can drink?
Thx that help me ❤️
Wow exlenet!!!
Salman Khan YOU'RE THE MAN!!
Wow😮
in the molecule with two bromines,wont it start with the 'hydroxy' prefix??......
you teach WAAAAY better than my lame chem teacher. i wish you were my teacher...
thank you
It's an alcohol, so you start counting from the side closest to the -OH
for the cyclohexanol would i matter if i wrote it as 1-cyclohexanol? And for the 2nd example can i count starting from the other side ( right to left) instead ?
you are amazing
"Let's, let's try to name this... beast right here."
because you always number the first carbon as the one with the C=O not necessarily the smallest
are these videos that much good to prepare for iit-jee???....do reply...
For the 2nd alcohol, if I was finding your way of naming it confusing, would an alternative be 7,7-dibromo-4-hydroxy-5-octyne?
+aiden Moore octinol*
Yes it can be!
@@gccgmt1079 i think it can't be octinol since we've already used the OH group as a prefix, which was the "hydroxy" in the name. So in this alternative name, since we've used OH as a substituent, we will have the "yne" as suffix for the parent chain

Please make text a little bigger so it can be read on a smartphone
Also purple over black doesn't contrast well enough to be visible on smartphone
y subtitiles? u speak perfect clear english
this might do it in a more indirect way XD....funny and helpful
4:48 can it also be named 2,2-dibromooct-3-yn-5-ol?
daniel pardenilla I think that that would be the correct name, since the location of the triple bond is prioritized over the location of the substituents.
0:46 noted 😂😂😂
NICE!
Actually it is 2,2-dibromo-oct-3-yn-5-ol. ))) But great videos! Greetings from Czech Republic )))
What's the reason for the cyclo?
thanks :megusta:
Shouldn't the most important group, which is the OH get the lowest possible number?
best teacher ever lol.
The alcohol overpowers everything right? So you have to give the alcohol the lowest number which means you have to start numbering to the end of the chain that will give the alcohol the lowest number. The alcohol group is telling you where to number.
he is inspired
1:18 You do not want to drink methanol! You may not want to drink ethanol either...
This is only system of numbering of carbons,,,, but the reactions of alchohole had not here,,😔😔
what the devise used to make this video .. help me please
how come it is propanE-1,3-diol not propan-1,3-diol???
Concepts of chemistry illustrated in a story. See UA-cam video "Chemistry Simplified".
at 6;42, can't it be named as 1,3 di hydroxy propane??
🎉
im sorry sir, but aren't alkynes supposed to be linear?
You do not want to drink Methanol...IT WILL KILL YOU! lol! love these videos! Thanks so much! :D
i think that alkyne group cannot be write in line formula
This.... 10years before🥺
You sound like Scarra
my school taugth me "propan-1,3-diol" instead of " 1,3 propanediol". Is there any problem with mentioning either way????
At 3:33 the answer to your question is being answered by himself.
In Europe at least this video would be incorrect. You count carbons from the shortest possible end.
For instance with 2-pentanol, the correct labels are: 1 2 3 2 1
not: 5 4 3 2 1
Use this for an A-Level/O-Level/International and Euro-baccalaureates and you WILL get the question wrong.
the dislikes are from bitter teachers....
I'm quite confused. shouldn't the last example be a pentane? instead of propane? how did it became a propane when its structure did not show any differences on the first example except on the 2 alcohol group at both ends?
Yamat LadyGuen it sould
the two OH take the place of the carbons that YOU (not to point u out) are counting, so really there are only 3 carbons in that chain
*_Ich habe ein Lied gemacht, wo man die Alkanen Reihe mit Spaß lernen kann!_*
Why does he not just say R-OH where the R is the REST of the group which is what all organic chemists i know call it instead of a radical.
Shouldn't the 2nd thing he named be counted the other way? That'll make it's name become 2,2-dibromo oct-3-yn-5-ol.
In this molecule, since it is an alcohol, the priority of numbering is given to the alcohol group(OH). The carbon with the OH attachment is counted from the left giving it the number 4 versus from the right giving it a higher number of 5
The alcohol should have the lowest number.
@goldensilverstar i was thinking the same omg
@stevenhelock
International baccalaureate examinations.
because you want to give OH the lowest number always
he kind of sounds like dan from gossip girl omg
It is him, that is what he did after the show hahahaha. Just kidding.
How that alkyne is drawn give me anxiety. It should be 180 degrees
#41
Good AND funny. :-)
PENT...PENTANNN.....PENTANNNN 3:02 hahahahah
Isn't it supposed to be 1,5??
For the last one
then we should ditch the E...
"Name this beast right here" lol wot the fuck?
3:39 is he speaking GERMAN?!
كاش واحد جزاءريين هنا راني مسحقهم
wow funny
Does anyone else get anoyed when he repeats what he is writing down?
no
Yes
Find it really helpful, it gets it stuck in my head
So, Khan's a dirty teetotaler...
