Nucleophilic Addition, Carbonyl Compound Mechanism - Organic Chem

[@lamuu5006]

i have my mock in hours and this helped me like nothing else before, god bless you!

[@porschiermarfo8681]

very simple to understand. thank you

[@KelvinPhiri750]

You are amazing😊

[@taeraekimbap]

thank you so much teacher, your videos have been helping me out a lot bcs we didn't receive any modules as guides here at my place, only very simplified ppts TT

[@pavitrapadmanathan5637]

You know what .I am really grateful to find your videos.I think i am improving in my a levels.Thank you -_-

[@ChemistryGuru]

Hi wow thanks for the feedback! glad the videos are useful for your revision! :)

[@apoorvachourasia6996]

That was really helpful! Keep going!

[@ChemistryGuru]

Thanks Apoorva! Yup stay tuned for weekly video lessons!

[@ursulabjornen1412]

liked the video! Would also be helpful with what increases the reaction like steric hindrance and type of nucleophile! Keep up the good work!

[@ChemistryGuru]

Hi Ursula thank you for the suggestion! :)

[@nekkioo]

thank you! this helped a lot :D

Thanks for your work...just wanted to ask what do you exactly mean by level of saturation of carbon?because the only one I know is that alkenes are unsaturated while alkanes are saturated...are there other meanings?

[@ChemistryGuru]

the degree of saturation is not exclusive to alkenes. It just refers to the number of multiple bonds (double or triple bonds) in a compound. So if a compound has many multiple bonds, eg C=C, C=O, nitrile, benzene then it is said to be highly unsaturated. Conversely if we have alkanes where all the bonds are single bonds then it is highly saturated. Alcohols, halogenoalkanes are also examples of saturated compounds since there are no double or triple bonds in them.

@@ChemistryGuru thanks teacher

[@dammieking2821]

Thanks

[@sivaa2872]

Does the above reaction undergo SN1 or SN2 mechanism? Pls Explain with reason.

[@ChemistryGuru]

Nucleophilic addition and substitution are different. For difference between SN1 and SN2 mechanism you can check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJzRh6toeLeDd7M

thanks, g

[@seanang5838]

why must it be 10-20C?

[@sahibjotkaur703]

Why CN Attack through C not through N?

[@ChemistryGuru]

for CN- the carbon is the one that is negatively charged and the better nucleophile as compared to nitrogen. So C will be the one that attacks the carbonyl carbon.

Thnku sir
