Example of Nucleophilic Addition

Sₙ2 Reactions Ethoxyethoxy, Ethanol, Carbitol by WikimediaImages from Pixabay Description:  This video demonstrates the use of the electron pushing formalization to represent the reaction mechanism for an SN2 reaction (bimolecular nucleophilic substitution). Follow along by sketching the reaction, pausing the video as needed.  Transcript: Suggested Citation: McCollum, B.  (2024). Sₙ2 Reactions . Organic Chemistry I….

Example of Electrophilic Addition Ethoxyethoxy, Ethanol, Carbitol by WikimediaImages from Pixabay Description:  This video demonstrates the use of the electron pushing formalization to represent the reaction mechanism for an alkene reacting with hydrochloric acid (it explores hydrohalogenation, a type of electrophilic addition reaction). Follow along by sketching the reaction, pausing the video as needed. Transcript:…

Sₙ1 and Sₙ2 Competition Ethoxyethoxy, Ethanol, Carbitol by WikimediaImages from Pixabay Description:  This video demonstrates how you can use the characteristics of SN1 and SN2 reactions to determine which pathway a reaction will proceed. Follow along by sketching the reaction, pausing the video as needed. Transcript: Suggested Citation: McCollum, B.  (2024). Sₙ1 and Sₙ2 Competition…
