QUESTION: you describe the leaving groups as OTs>I>Br>Cl . My question is what does OTs stand for? Sorry if its a dumb question

[@ChadsPrep]

Hello Kal! OTs stands for a Tosylate Ester. It's a specific example of what are generally called sulfonate esters. We form them from alcohols to convert the hydroxyl group of the alcohol, which is a poor leaving group, into a good leaving group. Most students won't learn about them until the chapter on alcohols (I cover them at the beginning of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5y3YnuOpd6Spqs). But I mentioned them in the substitution / elimination chapter for the minority of students who may have it presented here as well. Hope this helps!

YOU ARE A KING I am retrking ochem a second time since i almost failed the first time around. I wish these videos were around the first time i took it. You are awesome!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you found the channel, Gaby - Hope you do well this time around!

[@ayakareem5669]

Hi, thank you so much for this amazing lecture, I would really appreciate it if you could do a short review of how to distinguish between strong bases/weak bases and nucleophiles. I am studying for the DAT and upon review I find that this is the toughest part.

[@ChadsPrep]

Is it more distinguishing between strong bases that are poor nucleophiles? Most strong bases are also good nucleophiles, with the exception of bulky bases such as LDA or T-butoxide since they are too bulky for nucleophillic attack. Check the following two videos and let me know if this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Smanyehr1pgLcsi=sIMQLaxwdCfEAct0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpyreY2Hqs6qm8U

Hey Chad I am following your Organic Chem Video Lectures . It is superbly amazing to understand the concepts but for practice I want to purchase the organic master course . Is there any offer or discounts on the course please let me know . You're great chad ❤

[@AkasDesign]

honestly youre helping me so much. really enjoy watching :D

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it - Happy Studying!

[@deluxeaf9247]

I love your videos man, youre the only reason i understand these things, taking the DAT IN 3 WEEKS! I did have a question though. are solvents the last thing we look at? You are like the only source that says polar aprotic when it comes to E2, even though I know you put an asterisk , but it kinda confused me to be honest.

[@lintamariajoseph5354]

[@FrontierThesisYU]

Hi Chad! Thank you so much or these videos. You are saving my life. At 8:04, you say that later down the road you will discuss bases v. nucleophiles. Can you please kindly direct me to that video? Thank you!!!!

[@stianclar]

Hi, just a tip: you're talking way too fast IMO. It's perfect you're lucid, but not all viewers are.

[@ChadsPrep]

I get that a lot. Fortunately KZbin alows the playback speed to be adjusted. Happy Studying!

[@samuelmunyonyo1847]

Yeah sure 😊you can just slow down the video

[@scaytuiro1]

He is fine, you can slow down the video. I actually speed it up.
