Leah4sci.com/SNE presents: Choosing between SN1 SN2 E1 E2 reactions using a SIMPLE checklist rather than a confusing flowchart. This video shows you how to analyze each of your givens to quickly rule out reactions that cannot take place making it very obvious which direction the reaction will go between Substitution and Elimination, First or Second order (1 or 2 type)

This video walks you through a four-part checklist that can be used to determine whether a given reaction will proceed via an SN1 SN2 E1 or E2 reaction mechanism and also which product molecules will be formed. You’ll learn how to analyze the degree of substitution of the starting reactant, the strength of the attacking nucleophile or base, the type of solvent, as well as the strength of the leaving group.
Additionally, you’ll learn about the notable exception of the big bulky base and why it forms the Hofmann product. You’ll also learn why the presence of heat in a reaction favors elimination, as explained by a reaction coordinate energy diagram. Finally, you’ll see me work through a few examples so that you can apply what you’ve learned to real test questions.

Ms.leah, you dont know or understand how many students you have helped grasp organic chemistry, youre literally the OCHEM angel and we speak of you highly, youre a legend in my univeristy, thank you so so much for what you do!

Thank you so much, I am honored and humbled by your compliment. I struggled with organic chemistry in undergrad and strive to make videos that will prevent others from having to go through what I did. I hope it's working :)

Currently studying for the DAT. Perfect timing bc this was so confusing for me! Now off to learn alkene alkyne mechanisms 😂

SN/E is definitely something to understand more than memorize for the DAT. Hope this video helped and be sure to check out my alkene and alkyne playlists for your upcoming studies. I'm actually preparing to publish an alkyne video next so keep an eye on your notifications.

I’m confused How can a tertiary carbon go with E2 When everyone say it’s not possible I don’t understand

@Leah4sci 3 ай бұрын

SN2 cannot happen with a tertiary leaving group because there is too much hindrance blocking the attack. However, if the leaving group on a tertiary carbon is not attacked directly, and the beta carbon's H is accessible, and E2 is not only possible, but quite desirable due to creating a highly substituted and therefor stable pi bond. This is in accordance with Zaitsev's rule
