Alcohol Dehydration Reaction Mechanism With H2SO4

This Organic Chemistry video tutorial discusses the alcohol dehydration reaction mechanism with H2SO4. It covers the E1 reaction where an alcohol is converted into an alkene. it explains how to determine the major product or the most stable zaitsev product. It also discusses the SN1 / SN2 dehydration of a diol into a cyclic ether.

Organic Chemistry 2 Final Exam Review:

[thugga.thugga]

i love how you take your time explaining things and don’t just word vomit all over us.. thank you😁

[rubendanino]

literaly a god among men. I was stressing out for org chem 2, but remembered you existed. I understand everything

[baileymcginley]

I love this man he's the only reason I'm doing so good in Ochem :)

[kriskagaitano]

HELLO SIR JUST DROPPING BY TO SAY HAPPY WORLD TEACHER'S DAY

[georgebrian]

You are the best of the best. U have walked me through high school first year till first year in college.

[munibasaleheen]

Thank you for the video, The trick you show help a lot to distinguish between minor vs major product

[lalatv]

This has been amazingly helpful!! Thankyouuu!!!

[janekfromm]

Best organic chemistry teacher in the entire universe :D

[galyavakian]

Just understood the alcohols' chapter in Ochem!!!

[suchitranollu]

Infinite times the best lecture
Thank you so much sir

[SarthakGupta]

Your videos are very helpful in the revision of any subtopic

[sandilemtambomalibongwe]

He's the best 👌 the god of Chemistry

[jaytan]

May I ask if the reagents and conditions used are listed in this following order:
" H2O, H2SO4, 100 degrees, 3h"
Will elimination of alcohol occur to give a major product for a compound, or elimination of alcohol does not occur since H2O is in excess?
Thank you.

im currently studying organic chemistry and its bloody difficult

[sanika]

What we be balanced chemical equation of dehydration reaction of alcohol

[UsherCoolboySWFilms]

At the start of the video, you said the reaction would go through E1, but you didn't explain why :(. Why is it E1 and not E2?

[cheema]

Sir please Answer me the following two questions.
1. Although Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon, the direction of the dipole moment is towards the ring?
2. what happens when methylcyclopropene is heated with HBr?

[elizabethdaka]

I love your work trust me I want to be like you what can I do

[mercilessmirage]

Hi, I have a quick question. In the last reaction you went over (ether formation), how do you control which alcohol is protonated? When introduced to sulfuric acid, can't both the alcohols get protonated at once?

[NewWesternFront]

do any minor products occur without the 1, 2-shift? or is that move so stabilizing that there virtually is none (but even miniscule?)
