Quick Revision - All six organic mechanisms

Dude sounds like he wants to teach defense against the dark arts but is forced to teach potions instead. Thanks for this video by the way, helps me so much in Chemistry A level

The GOAT of chemistry, thank you so much.

[@isobelalexandra3014]

Thank you so much for this - I honestly did not understand this at all and have internal chem exams to go onto second year next week :/ this has genuinely made me understand the subject

[@MaChemGuy]

Very best of luck with your exams, sure you'll smash them!!!

[@utmp5508]

Thank you so much, hoping this one goes well because the first exam was a disaster

[@utmp5508]

@AJ2 between 50-55, so probably a C

[@jessicaegharevba195]

A big disaster even the guy with straight As in my class complained I hope paper 2 saves but I am a little less motivated because of the amount of work I put in revision for paper 1

[@mirianemetuche8122]

Jessica Egharevba this is exactly how I feel, the plan was to bang 80% on paper 1 so in case p2 or p3 flops I know I still have a chance for a B but nahhhh OCR loves to see its candidates in tears innit kmt

whatd u get

[@Soniaa0709]

Thank you so much I really appreciate the time it takes for you to make each of your videos they're so helpful.

[@MaChemGuy]

Very kind of you to say, thanks. Glad they help

Do you usually do exam paper walkthroughs? I would appreciate it if you did, I know it must take quite a while so I understand if you can't.

[@oswin4715]

Thank you so much. Really hope Tuesday goes well

[@jessicaegharevba195]

Paper 1 OCR 2019 was a disaster I need to pick marks from paper 2

[@MaChemGuy]

That's very kind of you to say! Thanks :)

[@ViperChief]

Absolutely

[@marzzbars]

This was really helpful, could you also make a video on how to find the right number of chiral centres in a molecule please? Always confuses me when its asked as a multiple choice question as I can never work it out! Thank you

[@Dave-rm7zw]

Hiya, please may you do a quick revision video on addition substitution mechanisms for acyl chlorides? I get that they aren't on our spec but I reckon it could be a suggest on a paper 3? But a massive thank you for all the other videos - they're great! :)

[@MaChemGuy]

Dave If I get time. Thanks, glad they’re helpful

[@atiarimi7322]

This was super useful and concise, thank you sir.

[@MaChemGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debbieade6523]

This is great!! Could you please make that list of the paper 1 stuff you think will be on paper 3? Thanks so much for your help, sir

[@annageorge4514]

Could you add the conditions required for each mechanism?

[@beans06682]

thank you sir !! exam in on tuesday for me hoping it goes well :))

[@kundana2005]

Thank you so much MaChemGuy!

[@tkmax26]

Amazing video!!

[@MaChemGuy]

Thanks for that - it's a but rough round the edges (sorry)

[@safamohamad8090]

So during nucleophilic addition , it’s ok to use either H2O or H+ as the intermediate, or are there specific reactions where you have to specify . Thx for ur videos :)

[@thfreakin]

U can use either but i think ur less likely to make a mistake if u just use h+ as u dont have to show a dipole

[@safamohamad8090]

Thx

[@MaChemGuy]

Says in spec for carbonyls with NaBH4 use H2O for protonation and for haloalkanes with HCN use either H2O or H+

[@safamohamad8090]

MaChemGuy Thx

[@thfreakin]

MaChemGuy my teacher let me down then he said you could just use h+ lol 😂

[@arifsam4961]

thank you so much this was extremely helpful!

[@shanicehewitt3819]

Thankyou !! Got a level paper 2 today.

[@hamzahnazir219]

in free radical substitution, is it possible to get a hydrogen radical? or is that chemically not possible here?

[@MaChemGuy]

Hamzah Nazir Never seen it before

[@MeganWatsonMeganElizabeth]

A hydrogen radical is a hydrogen atom

[@joegartland]

Thank you so much

[@rylark7382]

Weird question but should we draw mechanisms/structures in pen or pencil? If pencil would we be penalised?

[@MaChemGuy]

Rylark Not an examiner but you are allowed to draw diagrams in pencil so doubt it matters what you use

[@km1462]

One thing I struggle on is, how do u distinguish if it electrophilic addition/substitution or nucleophilic addition/substitution, how do u decide and spot it

[@ellay910]

If it's addition then it's usually a double bond. Substitution means another molecule has to leave to put the new one in (if that makes sense) even if it's just a H+ ion, if there's more than one product (e.g CH3Cl +HCl) Its substitution

[@km1462]

Ella Jasmine thank you, good luck tomorrow

[@housainkilani7140]

do electrophilic subs. reactions always need a catalyst?

[@MaChemGuy]

No. Phenols react via ES without catalysts

[@arhammasud152]

cheers mate

[@shaan3438]

[@hamzahnazir219]

is it possible to form 1-3-5-tribromobenzene when do bromination of a benzene molecule? btw thank you so much for this video it really has saved me

[@Mstar200]

Hamzah Nazir I think you can only get 2,4,6 substituted but that has to be with phenol or phenylamine and the reagent being Br2. If reagent was Br2 & AlBr3 and you react it with benzene you’ll only get one substitution of the bromine

[@hamzahnazir219]

@@Mstar200 yeah that makes so much more sense thank you :)

[@moceasar671]

what exam board is this? i havent seen this Bromine with benzene.

@@MaChemGuy Thanks for the reply. I am doing AQA.

[@elijah2859]

Will paper 1 and 2 not ask for the methods of practicals or to draw graphs as this is in paper 3? Is there any other types of questions which is exclusive to a certain paper or more likely to be on/ not on a paper? this is for AQA. Please answer if you can bc i have exams next week.

you haven't done elimination (nucleophilic)

[@ellay910]

For the formation of nitro benzene in the book it says the electrophile is formed like this: 2H2SO4 + HNO3 => HNO2+ + 2HSO4- + H3O+ Should it be that or the 1 H20 and 1 H2SO4??

[@MaChemGuy]

Ella Jasmine Different books have different reactions. The one I used is acceptable

[@Tclarke-cy1sc]

They accept both hydronium ions or H+ being made, as long as the crucial NO2+ is made and it's all balanced.
