Gilman Reagent & Organocuprates

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the Gilman reagent also known as an organocuprate. It discusses how to synthesize the organocuprate from an organolithium reagent. It also discusses the reaction between alkyl halides and unsaturated ketones with the gilman reagent.

Whenever I see you've made a video about one of the lectures in my class I feel an overwhelming sense of serenity peace and safety

Thanks you are the best tutor on youtube.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING AND THANK YOU FOR TEACHING BETTER THAN THE SCHOOL TEACHERS

Bro this is underrated video, its an AIEEE 2005 question :)

[RahulsinghSingh]

Thnx really helped for my grade 12 exams

Thanks for the example at the end, that was really helpful for understanding the point of Gilman

Like your videos. Love from india😘😘😘😊🤗

Before adding the Grignard reagent, if we conjugate the two double bonds wouldn’t it be easier?
MgBr still attacks on the O- ion and forms OH and the methyl group attaches to the +ve charge on meta position.

Is this topic (the gilman reagent) a very popular question on the PCAT?

[jasmine]

Haha Gilman reagent the same week we mention them
First exam next Tuesday 👌🏾

How is it that Gilman reagents can replace halides on sp2 hybrodized carbons (seeing as that can't happen w/ the SN2 mechanism). Is this mech not SN2?

[ev]

Sick!! But wheres the mechanism dawg? Is this a metal mediated thing? Association? Reductive elimination?? Whats going on my dude?

[rayarktoram]

Do we really memorize all of this chemical reaction one by one??? is there any theory that makes sense for all of the reaction ????

[tvdyvcu]

Hello does anyone know if it is possible to use (cyclopentyl)culi ?

[sijmenkroon]

isnt a big part of gilman reagents that they can replace the Cl of a acid chloride

[hassanalmutari]

please make more biology videos thanks
