    Your videos are helping me survive O-Chem! Thanks for your videos!
    I'd be happy to see more on SN1 & SN2 reactions with a more in depth exercise where we have to create the products ourselves. That is a bit more challenging and I would love to see how you explain it! :)

    Hi melissa, your videos are really helpful and easy to follow up and understand even the difficult topics. I have a request to you that you can make a series on how to pass general chemistry 2. Because you are the reason I passed gen chem 1 and really want your help for gen chem 2. So please consider my request.

      ch3oh is a weak nucleophile so could be between sn1/e1

      @SticksOfCinnamo 12 днів тому

      OH on its own is a strong base and good nucleophile. When an "R" group is added (in this case CH3), ROH becomes a weak base and poor nucleophile

      No reaction. SP2 carbons do not undergo substitution or elimination.

    • @abufarsakh9919
      @abufarsakh9919 Місяць тому

      None because the carbon is sp2 hybridized, so it’s more electronegative and can’t be easily turned into a carbocation (which eliminates Sn1 and E1). Backside attack is sterically hindered bc so no Sn2. And the double bond cannot rotate which eliminates E2. Also you could just remember the rule that vinyl (which is what the problem is) and aryl halides cannot undergo any of the 4 reactions.
