like Hofmann rearrangement, haloform reaction is pretty surprising mechanism for me since the NaOH is not strong enough to eliminate that alpha proton..(In hofmann rearrangement, amide proton) thermodynamically. However, once the proton is removed and enolate is formed, next alpha proton would be more reactive and basic. It is really interesting synthetic design!
Hi sir ... I am a teacher of chemistry.. today one of my students asked me a question and I wasn't sure of my answer The question was why do we a need a basic solution while we use tollens reagent? Am sure am going to find the answer here in your channel ❤ All the love and respect from Algeria ❤❤
Wow, that's so cool! I can't believe people in Algeria have seen my videos! I bet your students are lucky to have you as their teacher! A basic solution is needed when using Tollens reagent because the active component in the reagent, the diamminesilver(I) ion, is only stable in a basic environment, allowing it to readily oxidize aldehydes (which is the purpose of the test) by readily accepting electrons and forming metallic silver, which is the visual indicator of a positive reaction; in a non-basic solution, the silver ions would precipitate out too quickly, preventing the desired reaction from occurring. Hope that helps!

Couldn’t have said it better myself! And awesome Username!
I am learning something new each Monday thanks to you. :)
That's freaking awesome. Thanks for saying that. I hope to keep making you proud!
Sir something related to hetero cyclic compounds or maybe rearrangements that are unique
Great idea! I got you!

@@rojaslab yes sir it helps ... u saved me thank you so much ❤️❤️
Gatterman-Koch
Boom! You got it!
Like your video, please keep going
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words!
Spoiler for next week: Gattermann-Koch formilation 😬
Crushed it!
