Love your shirt. You're changing lives with these videos and that encouraging shirt!

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks, Lydia!

Excellent!

[@stevenosorio3330]

nice video, keep teaching organic chemistry since is rare to see about this class

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you like it!

[@NoorNoor-pf5id]

Your videos are treasure.

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks!

please make a play list for physical chem !

Our professor said that sn1 can only go through tertiary halides, explained by new studies that came out recently

[@ChadsPrep]

Hey Trevor! When it comes to predicting products of reactions we are usually giving the major products, but always keep in mind that minor products are still possible. Our understanding of chemistry is constantly expanding - I try to keep the content relevant to the majority of courses but always recommend you listen to your own professor as they will be grading your tests! Happy studying :)

hey chad! do you have a video that covers the mitsunobu reaction? thanks for all of these amazing videos!

Around the 3 minute mark, why does the molecule flip when the carbocation forms?

Welcome to the channel, Bruno.

Is the zinc catalyst only needed for SN2 reaction?

[@ChadsPrep]

The ZnCl2 is needed for both SN1 and SN2. The combination of HCl/ZnCl2 is actually referred to as the Lucas reagent and can be used to classify alcohols as primary, secondary, and tertiary. The tertiary alcohols react the fastest followed by the secondary (both reacting by SN1). The primary alcohols react the slowest (by SN2), and the time for the reaction to occur allows for the determination. Hope this helps!

@@ChadsPrep Yes it does!! Thank you so much!!
