Nucleophilic Addition reactions

It wouldn't be organic chemistry with out mechanisms so here is one of many! In this video you will see how nucleophiles are used to react with aldehydes. This will also show how molecules called hydroxynitriles are made. #veryimportantmechanism

7 years and you're still saving lives! Thanks!

[@Tussocky]

You could be the man who single handedly saved my A-Levels

[@caeli1221]

Appreciate your effort. Keep it up! You're a real life saver :)

[@AlleryChemistry]

Pleased they are helping you! Please share this vid, the more people it helps the better!

[@caeli1221]

Already did! I agree

[@AlleryChemistry]

Thanks!

[@ashrafchoudhury9419]

Thank you so much your videos are so helpful you don’t underhand how much they help me

[@sajindraarulthas4006]

The way you have sequenced everything is really neat and easy to understand... Good job

[@sarahsandy2204]

Thank you so much for the videos!!! VERY VERY helpful!

[@Jessica-ql5ji]

Thank you so much for these videos 😩👍🏾

[@paigelewington1475]

Thanks for these life saving videos!! I was wondering if you had any videos on grignard reactions and synthesis?

[@anilbishnoi3632]

Hi

[@fariah2131]

That was helpful. Thanks 😃

[@josiebaldwin1415]

how would you go from the hydroxynitrile to an amine? have seen it in an exam paper

[@xFifaSkillzHdx]

thank you for the videos, very helpful :)

[@AlleryChemistry]

You're welcome. Please share, the more people use this channel the better! 😀

I just wanted to ask: can we point the arrow towards the partial positive charge on the carbon atom rather than the carbon atom itself

[@maddiemills7141]

fab thanks sir! you are a real help! :) any exam tips?

[@reubenconstantine2685]

What happens Ed to the negative charge on CN- ?

[@niallmears8180]

you are the man

[@catalinaburdujan7074]

Thank you so much. The videos you do are explained very well and are currently helping me in my studies.

[@mehulborad2400]

Hey I just want to point out that when the Nu attaches to the carbon it gets a +ve charge else consevation on charge is violated 😉

[@mohsaj7652]

is this only for aldehydes and ketones

[@racheln3144]

amazing thanks

[@AlleryChemistry]

You're welcome!

How does KCN provide the H+?

[@user-ik1jo2vd2j]

KCN is a salt in its normal state and so it will be dissolved in an aqueous solution (i.e. in an acid) which is used in the reaction and as you might know acids contains lots of H+ ions so that’s where it comes from 🙂

[@sachinbhandari3506]

@@user-ik1jo2vd2j aqueous means that the molecules are dissolved in water. The H+ comes from the water and KOH is produced
