our class loves you. you helped all of us pass science and for that we owe you. thank you for all your sci help! you’re awesome leah!!!!

[@Leah4sci]

That's amazing to hear Kara! so honored to be able to help you and your classmates

[@danmadefurniture]

thanks leah! absolutely love your videos. you go far more in depth than my orgo chem lecturers and your videos are the reason i'm doing so well in organic chem.

[@Leah4sci]

You're so welcome! I'm happy to hear how much my resources are helping you!

[@shantaebennett7888]

I just want to thank you so much because I’ve been struggling so much with o-chem and so far I have understood everything that you have went over. I truly want to thank you for these videos and tips!!!

I actually took orgo 2 years ago and passed with flying colors thanks to you and your videos. I still watch them because I honestly just enjoy them. They're extremely clear and concise, but still thorough. Plus, your voice is very relaxing. 👍😊

Oh wow, thank you, and congratulations on acing orgo!! :)

[@sinajafarzadeh9577]

wow! you made it so easy!! I love how you cut the chase and just explain the main idea of each topic. I think many college classrooms get boring and unproductive because profs go on tangent and students do not have that long of attention spans to follow it.

Ma'am can you make a video on all the reaction mechanisms of organic chemistry of international advanced level(IAL A2) chem? It would be very helpful for me as my tutors don't show me the reaction mechanisms of most of the reactions and so I seek help from youtube. I found your channel in 2021 and from then onwards, my knowledge is improving 😀😀. Can you make a video of the reaction mechanisms? Thank you ❤️.

very helpful, thank you! But can you explain how we know the carbonyl group at the very end is an aldehyde, rather than a ketone? How do we know there is an H present instead of an R group?

[@SeanOchiagha]

Because OH is attached to a secondary carbon

Please help 1. A compound A reacts with an alkylmagnesium halide B to give the final product C, of formula C5H12O. Dehydration of C gives a compound D which on oxidation gives two products E and F. The later reacts with 2, 4 - DNPH but E does not. However, E turns blue litmus paper red. Compound D decolourises bromine dissolved in carbon tetrachloride. a. Write structures A and B. b. Using appropriate structures, write the sequence of reactions to the final products, E and F. c. Name the compounds A, C, D and F, d. Draw all the possible stereoisomers for each of the optically active compounds in c above.

Thanks for the suggestion

[@sarak.]

I was wondering in the very last example of finding out the reactants. I thought gringard agent is added only to elongate the chain without Mg attaching itself to the carbonyl carbon. Can the reactant be cyclohexanone? If you followed the steps of the shortcut you’d get the same product ?

[@Leah4sci]

Cyclohexanone would not work for this example because we want the position of the final alcohol to be on the carbon that is one removed from the ring. We don't want the alcohol directly bonded to the ring. For help with questions like this and more, I recommend joining the organic chemistry study hall.

i find your videos harder to comprehend in all honesty

[@Leah4sci]

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you're able to find another resource that works for you!

[@samriddhadas9316]

hey ! we have conversions in organic chemistry. like we are given the reactant and the product and we are supposed to convert the reactant into the product anyhow. thing is that i have learnt the individual reactions but still can not effectively do conversions. can you please suggest what should i do to do them effectively?

[@samriddhadas9316]

for example we were given to convert ethanol to but-2-yne . i was able to convert it into but-1-yne but could not convert it into but-2-yne. i dont understand how to bring the triple bond to the 2nd carbon.

[@samriddhadas9316]

also , can H2 + Ni be used to convert alkenes to alkynes?

[@Leah4sci]

see my synthesis videos for this

[@salad6369]

At 8.33, y do we need break either side when carbon has only 3 bonds in the first place?Y can't we just add on another bond n let it be sp3 hybridised?

[@Leah4sci]

Thanks for watching and asking! First, the carbon bound to the alcohol group has 4 bonds to begin with. The rules for drawing bond-line structures tell us a hydrogen is also bound to that carbon in addition to the oxygen and other carbon groups. Second, the reason we are breaking a bond in this example is because we are working backwards to predict the reactants. A Grignard reaction is important for its ability to elongate carbon chains by the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. To work backwards in a Grignard reaction, we must think about breaking bonds rather than forming them.

[@mindfullness7607]

Mam we need naming reaction like benzillic acid rearrangement and all types of name reaction with mechanism

Thanks for asking! After the reaction, the magnesium and iodine from the Grignard reagent remain in solution as a positively charged Mg-I unit. It is common to ignore the Mg-I on paper because it is not a part of the primary organic product.
