E1 Reaction

Here we examine the mechanism for the E1 reaction. Don't worry, it's just these four for now!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

I'm glad professor Dave knows "a lot about the science stuff."

[matheusgodoy]

Hi Professor Dave, I'm Brazilian and wanna thank you to do this amazing work. I'm in the college now, and you're helping me a lot.

Wow Organic Chemistry is so easy! I love this series

[stencalcabar]

First of all I really like your videos
I was wondering why the "leaving group" leaves, I understand that it takes an electron and is "happy" on its own but why exactly can/does it take an electron? Is it because it gets energy from something like temperature? So it wouldn't happen in a real cold surrounding?
Btw I will spread the word of your amazing teaching videos
Greetings from Germany

شرح مبسط و رائع
شكراً لك أستاذ ديڤ
انا من سورية
أنا في الكلية و اتابع شرحك بمختلف المواد ❤

[princessstar]

I am always impressed by the way you teach and I really wish to get teachers like you in my country😊
Love from Pakistan❤

Do you have any videos explaining the stereoselectivity and stereoselectivity of elimination reactions (Newman projections and E2, anti-periplanar, that stuff?)

[grandpatouchy]

Professer Dave how do you know which hydrogen will be eliminated to form the carbocation. Thank you for all your videos they are so helpful and greatly appreciated!

Where'd the Br- go? (in the 1st part)
where did the single H+ come from? aren't there suppose to be 2 more on that carbon?
and how can the water (neutral) act negatively and remove the H+?

[lakep]

So simple, so easy when Professor Dave explains…

after watching videos i just subscribed ur channel

[abhijitkumarjayasekar]

Just to be clear, what differentiates E1 and E2 reactions from SN1 and SN2 reactions? Thanks!

[Drumsticks]

What I don`t understand is: How does bromine just leave? In every E1 illustration I miss how kicking out that halogen atom even works, when there is no electrophile present "accepting" it or any other force to break that C-X bond.

[denissemedina]

why does water grab that proton specifically?

[dani-gibg]

why does he say a weak nucleophile i thought e1 and e2 were only bases and sn1 and sn2 are the ones that have the nucleophiles

[MsVickiticki]

does the proton that's being attacked belong to the beta-carbon or the alfa-carbon? I'm guessing beta but you didn't mention it so I'm jusy asking to be sure, great video!

[jacktran]

Appreciating the quick responses, but why does E1 not require antiperiplanarity like E2? Also why in E2 does a beta carbon with 2 hydrogens produce cis/trans stereoisomers when it's the only beta carbon with hydrogens (assuming all the other beta positions have other substituents that aren't hydrogen)

[meenakshi]

Kindly upload maths lectures also.It will really help in new SAT.

[catherinerothman]

So what is the difference between SN1 and E1?

[foxki]

I'm wondering how is it a two step reaction(in the intermediate phase)? cause when I'm comparing this to the SN1 reaction it looks like that the deprotonation of the H is an additional step
