SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Reaction Mechanism Overview

This video will give you a quick overview/review of the individual reactions and mechanisms of SN1, SN2, E1, & E2 to prepare you for the detailed tutorials on how to logically choose between these reactions. This is great to watch as an overview before diving in, review in daily study, or review before quizzes/exams.

Another clue is that E2 rxn will always include heat. Any reaction done in a turtbutoxide is also usually E2 . The formation of the Tertiary groups in an SN2 reaction crowd the electrophile and don't allow the nucleophile to come in but it can still be possible for E2

In 7:29 minutes, you managed to calm all my anxiety for my up coming exam. I am eternally grateful for your videos. Thanks.

I'm learning more I feel from these kinds of videos than all my classes.

This was such a clear, concise, and helpful video. Thanks a bunch!

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. Because of watching them, amongst following a lot of other study habits, I was able to get an A in Ochem 1. *Cheers inside.* :)

u r literally the best. you can explain things that i don't understand in a 2 hour lesson with my teacher!!

I cannot believe it was this easy. I was almost going to cry because I couldn't understand the concept 🤧 thank you miss ❤️

[PappaLitto]

This is the best, most straightforward video I've seen on the topic

Beautiful video! I think the concept of stereochemistry inversion should have been brought up using chiral examples, but it was really informative regardless.

Can you believe I went through ochem1 without even memorizing this? In ochem2 and failing. RIP me

This is such a cool idea and great video! I'm a chemistry prof in the US working on a similar approach on my channel. I like breaking down the concepts by videos, and giving an introduction to a topic (e.g., Assigning R/S stereochemistry) in 5 min or less!

one of the best explanation ever, thank you so much

[dana]

Very grateful for your videos! My professor reads from the book during lectures so your videos are a tremendous help. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge!

7 years later and its still helping people with exams! This was a great review for my Ochem Exam this afternoon, Thanks!

[maxroxism]

It made me understand almost everything :) just how do you know where to get the H from in e1 and e2 reactions?

[arditehrani]

Thanks to U! An excellent short video.

[giganid]

The only video i could find that explains the diffrence between E1/E2 and Sn1/Sn2 Reactions, thanks

[michaelmanchiraju]

This is the best video explanation of this topic!

[onlinetv]

Highly appreciated for concise and clear explanation

I struggled through Ochem 1, so I’m reviewing during my summer off so hopefully when I go back at the end of August I’m better off for Ochem 2 😬
