Mass Spectrometry: Alpha Cleavage of Ketones

[@becky8322]

Please keep making videos! They save me every so much trouble, make things so much more clear! Thanks for all your brilliant Explanations!

that 120 deg angle with the triple bond hurts my eyes

[@juliasagmann8981]

Julia Sagmann but otherwise really great vid!

Sending you love through the ether my friend! Many thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge

How can you have a neutral radical? Hasn’t a radical by definition got an improper number of electrons?

[@Marciamatosdasilva]

could you do an example like that, but with ESI fragmentation in positive mode?

[@peptoid1]

Excellent. Thank you for very informative lecture.

[@AS44995]

Great! Thanks. Please put more of Organic them stuff with your awesome explanation.

[@naitedhande6509]

The first step form radical cation or just radical?

[@sheilacapote1418]

Loved the explanation! Thank you

Could this be sloppier or less well prepared? No charge indicated after ionization. (And electron cannot be lost without a positive charge being gained.) Fragmentation occur not "to take care of" the radical, but because a positive charge on an oxygen is highly unstable which destabilizes the entire structure. It's not the "molecular ion" it's the molecular ion. (You're not sitting on a "chair," are you?) Stability of radicals (and carbocations) as electron density (not size, although for alkyl groups it may be related) increases is an observation, not a convenient rule of thumb that only apply to this situation. And FFS triple bonds are linear!! Not only does this give one of the worst explanations of alpha cleavage I've seen, it actually reduces the amount of knowledge students possess about structure and mechanism. If you just watched this go watch a video of cute cats. You'll learn more. If you're the uploader, have some respect for yourself and your audience and erase it.

Brilliant vid m8. Go work at khanacademy

[@chemistNATE]

Thanks man. I went and looked at their Jobs page and there >is< something for chemistry teachers! I'll apply tonight :D

[@Chemidan92]

chemistNATE Nice, good luck! make sure to include your videos in the application
