How SN2 Reactions Look Like (Animation) | Organic Chemistry Substitution Mechanism

[@totalsynthesis]

As some of you are not synthesis wizards (yet), I figured the beginners might like this basic but more visual video. Let me know if this was helpful or if I'm the only one who likes seeing twisting molecules. Thanks for following and supporting my channel! www.patreon.com/totalsynthesis; instagram.com/totalsynthesis_official/; total-synthesis.com

I thought this was pretty helpful, it was way better than the textbook could do.

[@ArturWojciechowicz]

Very good page. Keep up. !!!

[@totalsynthesis]

Thank you!! @@ArturWojciechowicz

Love to see how and why a reaction happens, especially from oribitals! Hope to see more of these tutorials in the future :)

[@totalsynthesis]

🥰 Thank you!

[@jonathana.1802]

I'm a student these are excellent 👌🏿 👌🏿

[@onespeedbjj3846]

Dam this is the most detailed description of an Sn2 reaction I don’t know why it’s not explained like this in school.

[@totalsynthesis]

In some years they will all use my videos /s

[@onespeedbjj3846]

@@totalsynthesis I believe it you should really start doing organic chemistry tutorials on KZbin.

[@totalsynthesis]

@@onespeedbjj3846 like high school/undergrad type stuff or what do you mean?

[@onespeedbjj3846]

@@totalsynthesis yes like undergrad o-chem 1-2 and advanced organic chemistry, advanced organic synthesis. Really go into detail and in order of how it’s taught in university at least for o-chem 1-2. if it’s even close to the quality of your current videos you’ll be getting a whole lot of new subscribers every semester I’d definitely watch them even though I’ve already graduated lol. I really think you could hit 100000 subs pretty easily if you branch out to organic chemistry tutorials as well as your current videos.

[@totalsynthesis]

@@onespeedbjj3846 This is some great motivational fuel. It's kinda what I though about - in addition to keeping up my more exotic and advanced videos - although I always feared the undergrad stuff is pretty "saturated" with many videos who (I never really watched them myself) I thought explain it already sufficiently. Thanks, I'll keep going!

[@joalsoal1645]

I’ve always wanted a chemistry synthesis explanation like this 😍!!!!!

[@vaportrapwave2658]

Wow the best visualisation i´ve seen. Thank you. Keep it up, always good vids :)

[@totalsynthesis]

Thanks!

[@chemistrycapital]

Love the new molecule animations!

[@hellothere3163]

Nice animations!!

[@totalsynthesis]

That's some next-level commenting speed, respect ❤‍🔥

[@markdennison6345]

Love the molecular symphony being played out on an atomic backdrop.

[@samueldeschwanden3065]

Awesome content as always! ❤

[@boisvertlab1699]

Beautiful use of 3D structures in PowerPoint! Well done!

[@totalsynthesis]

Thank you for the great tutorials!

[@chemdelic]

Editing is super nice! Have you used chimera before? Really good at 3d views of molecules! Keep it up big dawg

[@totalsynthesis]

Thanks man!! No, I haven't - I feel like a 7 year old trying to do anything elaborate on editing. At least I've now switched to DaVinci Resolve instead of some hobo version of an editor, haha

[@chemdelic]

@@totalsynthesis You are a WAY better editor than you think. Look forward to more of your stuff!

[@totalsynthesis]

Thank you 🥰 I'm gonna become one of these TikTok "make 10K a month clipping on CapCut" guys 😂

[@nh4742]

Weirdly, your videos are not recommended to me anymore. This is great. I love your videos.

[@totalsynthesis]

RIP, yeah the algo is not liking me I think for my past vids

[@Chemicator]

Good explanation👍 making a video about borderline mechanism is an interesting topic.

[@chadkline4268]

Top quality 👍 we can really learn here. Oh, I just love this. I play at half speed 😂 with loop on. Bless you Mr TS.

[@totalsynthesis]

Bless you too, brother

[@chadkline4268]

@@totalsynthesis i apologize for my ridiculous comments in the past. It is a poor character trait where I sometimes reflect perceived absurdity with absurdity. Please continue at the current level. I graduated in 1980 with a chemistry degree from the university of Iowa, but continued with a degree and career in Aeronautics. In my retirement, I am trying to renew my interest and love of chemistry, but I see many new terms+concepts. I also study GUTCP (Grand Unified Theory of Classical Physics) for 30 years as a hobby. A mix of quantum mechanics and cosmology. I promise to be a better student from now on 👍

[@chadkline4268]

@@totalsynthesis I subscribe to other chemistry channels, but this is the only one that dives into the mechanics+physics of reactions. Which is my main interest. So, I am very grateful for/to you. In my view, we are at a time where this is going to become of increasing importance+concern, because IMHO, and I know you are hesitant in this regard, Dr. Mills of Millsian software and BLP is going to single handedly obliterate SQM/MQM and replace the last 100 years of chemistry+physics with sanity: real practical understandable sensible views on science realities. Using only classical physics. And it won't be easy. The whole scientific community will resist for obvious reasons.

[@filipjanus9678]

Bro I loved this, please make some content on how is it possible to visualize 3d reactions while studying

[@totalsynthesis]

Glad you liked it! Do you have chemdraw software?

[@filipjanus9678]

@@totalsynthesis Oh I dont have chemdraw, i had a free version which always cracked

[@triple_gem_shining]

More!!

[@ch33zyburrito36]

How I wish this video came out a year earlier

[@totalsynthesis]

Me too 🥲

[@fantasticjames9451]

Immaculate.

[@Haemoglobuli]

Which Programm did you use to visualize the Orbitals? It looks great!

[@totalsynthesis]

Re: your other comment on the short, how do you mean draw orbitals as donuts? Do you mean manually, or how to get these outputs computationally?

[@AlligatorKrokodil]

Hey what program do you use for the 3D models of the molecules and orbitals? and besides that what other programs do you use and recommend for example for creating normal skeletal structures etc.

[@gabrielalx]

nice video, did you make this with chem3d or did you use another software?

[@totalsynthesis]

Thanks! Yep basically

[@supriyodas8915]

How do you rotate the crystal structure in your ppt?? Really cool🔥

[@supriyodas8915]

And from where do you take those crystal structures??

[@totalsynthesis]

Responded to your IG question - the rotation is an embedded feature of 3D objects in Powerpoint so its pretty easy

[@Joe-po9xn]

I’m sorry…….what?
