Hydrohalogenation - Alkene Reaction Mechanism

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into hydrohalogenation of alkenes. It provides the reaction mechanism as well. Examples include carbocation rearrangements such as hydride shifts, methyl shifts, and the stereochemistry of the products are mentioned as well.

I think at 9:52, we have a primary carbon and a tertiary carbon. Thank you so much for making these videos. They have been saving me.

[maiwanmussa]

I credit my Ochem success this semester to your videos. THANK YOU!

[lebronjames]

My professor had to go through multiple examples and I was still confused at the end. I watch your 12 minute videos and understand everything I should know by now. Thanks 🙏🏼

[tomatrix]

I like the explanations. My teacher just explains this as ‘ok so simply, hydrogen attaches to end breaking the double bond, carbocation in middle, that bonds with negative bromine. Done, easy see...’ and that’s her done...

[Ralovelyb]

Do I understand this video? Hell yeah
Does my teacher teach to make me understand? NaBro

[sambrailsford]

At 9:50 you label a carbon that's connected to three other carbons as secondary carbon. Shouldn't it be a tertiary carbon?

[prestonemulala]

How do you determine the major product for the Alkene where the both carbons in the double bond are secondary carbons.

[frukten]

For the last question wouldn't we have a racemic mixture because the carbon is Sp3 hybridized and connected to 4 different things

[britneymack]

Shouldn't that be a tertiary carbon instead of a secondary carbon in the last example?

[JayPatel-qlpj]

Is there a chiral center on the last example, resulting in racemic enantiomers?

[strugglingcollegestudent]

6:22 how did you know the structure switched like that

[amacgregor]

Anyone know what application he uses to draw?

[olamideajayi]

How do i identify the secondary carbon and the primary carbon?

[janeb]

What are the products formed when Bromine Water reacts with 2-methylpropene ?

[sofzhuk]

ahh yes, here I am again, after attending lecture and reading my book and still not understanding :)

[karanghuman]

Thank you for being helpful but do you have any videos on general organic chemistry reactions? I'm in first year Chemistry.

[anilkumarsharma]

Gannaa key rus ko khumbhi sey sadao to kya methane nahin ban jayegi??? Hydrogen mix karo kuch ghee jaise ban jayegi😇😇😇😇

[talyaxagh]

When do we perform hydrogen shift and when do we do methyl shift?

[eliyahbohadana]

In the second reaction, correct me if I’m wrong but it isn’t you major product because u had to do a hydride shift

[夸父逐日-ip]

In last example for HBr, there is 3rd carbonation, and a primary one, there is no 2ndery carbonation in the question, while you keep say 2nd ....
