50: Finding chiral carbons in organic molecules

[@OrcjaEnglish]

Ma'am! You have made a mistake while finding the total number of chiral centers in the last example. You just mentioned the four chiral centers. In a fact, there are the five chiral centers in the last example. Hope, you will reconsider it. Thank you for a nice lecture. ❣

[@brjtney]

Thank you for this, you deserve all the awards. Very clear and helpful.

[@Elif-eo5dn]

You are the best explainer, no one shows the groups..

[@haddouabdelghani6911]

Thank you. But what about the carbon atom attached to the OH group in the sixth example.

[@RoxiHulet]

Aaaahhhh yes you are correct - I missed one!!

Thank you so much Ma'am , i am from India , and i was finding it very difficult to find chiral carbons , and you just made EASY for me . Organic chemistry is always a headache , i am glad i found this channel . LOTS OF LOVE

[@RoxiHulet]

Yay! I'm so glad that I was able to help you get it figured out! Sending love back from the US! :)

[@francesanne6135]

This was so helpful when the book, other videos, and the teacher couldn’t explain to me what parts of the molecule I’m supposed to be looking at when determining the chirality center. Thank you so much!!!

[@affbear3024]

you missed the OH one

[@bidohdez]

i was about to point that out too

[@Conclusions]

Thank god it wasn’t just me going crazy

[@preetthorat6562]

In last example...carbon attached to -OH group should also be chiral. Btw your explanation is superb!!! ❤ from India🇮🇳

[@adayatatime4061]

exactly. thanks for pointing out

[@Medholic]

What a clear explanation I am watching this video from 🇮🇳

[@calebheide2694]

Fantastic quick breakdown with good variety of examples.

[@presto900]

You're an angel for explaining this so well. Quick question though: On the last example, why is the carbon bound to the hydroxyl group not a chiral center?

[@RoxiHulet]

Yes I missed that one, someone else also caught it :)

[@presto900]

@@RoxiHulet Oh, I see the comment now! Would have done me good to look before I posted.. Sorry about that, but thank you for the response anyway! Thank you again for the great explanation

[@willylmao]

What a great and concise explanation. I finally wrapped my head around the C=C and carbon triple bond concept and how they factor into chirality, thanks for this.

[@RoxiHulet]

Fantastic! I’m so happy it was helpful!

[@xesthetic1]

Thank you so much ❤️ This is the best explanation i have seen so far.

[@jusleejolm1042]

Well explained. The limonene example is why I came here. There can also be non-carbon chiral centres though.

[@Justiceforall6531]

So much surprising fantastic explanation .praise from india

[@MoayedKamali]

Hey Roxi thank you for the explanation but on the last one what happened to the carbon atom that was attached to the hydroxyl group?

[@nosho409]

0:20 clarification. Stereocenters are not all chiral centers, but all chiral centers are stereocenters.

[@blaakcoffee]

Am I supposed to focus on every substituent attached to the carbon in question? For example, in the first chiral group with the chlorine, I didn't realize I was supposed to be taking the CH2 and CL in to account. IS this correct?

[@RoxiHulet]

Very good question! Yes, you are correct. When you are trying to decide if a carbon is chiral, you will always look at the whole entire collection of atoms coming off each of its four bonds.

[@vidhiluniya6709]

omg believe or not this really helped me a lotttt and i mean it! thankyou very much! never thought that organic can be this easy

[@zerminaaziz2924]

last structure has 5 chiral center

[@KASThere]

at 9:13 you have missed the OH group that was attached to the carbon atom, do we want to ignore it nor not ? because it does not have ch2, ch3 and double bond carbon. Could you please explain this to me?

[@leenmcheik7862]

I was coming here to write the exact same thing! I guess she just forgot about it

[@noreensyed4877]

Wish you were my ochem professor. This video was so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you

[@inoxmike9306]

Could we choose OH group for last example as Chiral?

[@sbar3362]

You are the BEST ROXI!!!

[@eflam3374]

This video saved me 3 points on my Exam! It's everything I needed.

[@RoxiHulet]

Yay!! :)

[@noyaaaaa_]

I am a little confused with the last example... the 2nd and 3rd substituents you said they both eventually have an immediate connection to a benzene ring so wouldn't that be achiral because they're not unique? Can you explain please

[@RoxiHulet]

They have different paths to the benzene ring, which makes them unique.

[@noyaaaaa_]

[@divinefavourinnocent8122]

For the third one you said that attachment down was a metal group or something but for the second one you said it was CH3 how do we differentiate it

[@RoxiHulet]

“Methyl” not “metal”. CH3 is called “methyl”.

[@mhsuan__]

The explanation is crystal-clear. I've been confused about the asymmetric carbon problems the whole night ! Thanks god I find this tutorial! Wish I can learn organic chemistry in your class :(

carbon likes to make 4 bonds always. in skeletal drawings H's are not drawn thats why its "hidden"

[@dr.mohamedrefat8729]

What's name of application, you use.

[@pitkamatka]

Hi! Can we draw the conclusion that all carbon atoms that are part of a ring, have 4 single bonds, and have only one H are chiral carbons?

[@RoxiHulet]

No, you can’t. If two of those non-H single bonds are to identical groups (such as, two methyl groups) the carbon would be achiral.

[@makaam2594]

Is chilarity can be checked on atoms like cl , br ??

[@Utpal-fj4hk]

Mam u said sp2 hybridised carbon is never chiral okk, But what About a 2 degree nitrogen which has diffrent carbon chains on both sides and 1 loan pair. So is the nitrogen chiral or not? Its very confusing as the nitrogen is sp2 hybridised as well.

[@RoxiHulet]

That nitrogen is actually sp3 hybridized. :) sp3 hybrid atoms have 4 total bonds / lone pairs. A secondary nitrogen has 3 bonds and 1 lone pair.

[@Utpal-fj4hk]

@@RoxiHulet no mam, A 3 degree nitrogen has 3 bonds and 1 loan pair and I'm talking about a 2 degree nitrogen which has 2 bonds And 1 loan pair.

[@RoxiHulet]

@@Utpal-fj4hk oh, I understand. We use different classification systems. The system I use is that a tertiary nitrogen or carbon has 3 bonds to C chains and one lone pair or hydrogen If you only have 2 bonds to carbon and one lone pair, the atom cannot be chiral. In order to be chiral you must have a total of 4 things (bonds or lone pairs) around the atom.

[@Utpal-fj4hk]

@@RoxiHulet oh okk Understood, thanks for clearing my doubt. But why do we have different classification system for a same concept?

[@adonisefits1880]

Did you forget the chiral carbon connected to the OH group on the last molecule?
