SN1 Reaction

Why is SN2 a one-step reaction and SN1 a two-step reaction! Argh! Just listen to Dave, he'll tell you about the mechanism, intermediate, and lack of stereospecificity for the SN1 reaction. Look out for racemic mixtures!

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

Your videos helped me get an A in chemistry and because of my grades i was accepted into medical school. :D thank you professor Dave.

My teacher said it would take 6 hours to teach this, you taught in 6 minutes!!!
What a irony.. subscribed

[monavanderwal]

What I was trying to understand for few hours now, you explained clearly under two minutes. You are very talented. Keep up the good work!

My teacher does not teach and makes us watch Kahn academy videos. Your videos helped me more than Kahn's did. Thank You, Professor Dave!

I like that you explain such concepts in short time. It really helps to keep us concentrated thru the time period. Thanks alot professor .

[Omar-fjbw]

It's insane the amount of students you've helped over the years. Words can't describe how appreciative I am for you

[ryanalexander]

You are Jesus I'm going to pass O Chem because of you I love you professor Dave

more clear and concise in 3min than my profs' multiple hour long lectures.

Professor Dave proves that we’re all paying too much money for college.

Hi Professor Dave, I'm Student Dave. Thanks for making these short and sweet. Appreciate the knowledge! Might just pass O-chem now!

[PunmasterSTP]

SN1? More like "Great content? This is definitely some!" Thanks again for making so many videos that convey so much knowledge and understanding.

[AmigoGabe]

man you're the best! thanks for always making exactly the videos i need! they're easy to watch and its straight forward!

[rupakchanda]

Simply A massive concept explorer... Thnx a lot ...professor Dev

[Iklilledurhamster]

Thanks Professor Dave, your videos help a lot! I will share your videos with students who struggle with O-Chem!

[daniweissman]

Professor Dave, thank you for all of these tutorials!

[ivkoklbik]

As being physicist, I appreciate that molecular geometry approach.

[becomingvoid]

but for sn1 100% racemization is not observed practically because nucleophile starts attacking the substrate before the formation of carbocation therefore we get more no. of inverted product( stearically unhindered ) may be regioselective be the reason...

[violetterays]

dude no joke, you're helping me understand so much topic

[nananoname]

why... have i not found your channel earlier... I would've passed my exams on first try and not be struggling so much for so long to now.. somehow try to scrape up my knowledge after corona nirvana xD ... but well at least now. thank you sooo much I feel if I study with your videos I hav a chance of passingggg!!! <3
