Cl- will attack least substituted carbon when it is base catalysed. But in acid catalysed + plus charge on O is unstable so O will break any one bond (that will cause more + charge on carbon atom)
Due to inductive effect the density of +ve charge increases and makes it unstable which prefers for acid catalyzed reaction thus base attacks easily.@@SourajeetSahoo
the explanation of this was beyond phenomenal. thank you for helping me to understand! wish you were my professor
This video is helpful after 6 years too.. thanks for providing the clarity of the topic and being on point... I have my exam day after tomorrow 🙃🙃
Glad it was helpful!
This makes so much more sense now! Thank you so much T.T
THANK YOU this is what i needed, now where can I find the base catalyzed???
Hey there! You can learn that here: www.clutchprep.com/organic-chemistry/epoxide-reactions
don't bases, such as Cl-, attack on the least substituted carbon?
Cl- will attack least substituted carbon when it is base catalysed.
But in acid catalysed + plus charge on O is unstable so O will break any one bond (that will cause more + charge on carbon atom)
Is it sn2 or sn1 mechanism
Hey there! The nucleophilic attack will be considered SN1 since Cl attacks the more substituted side. :)
Thank you
Why the nucleophile attack to the most substituted carbon atom
The nucleophile attacked the most substituted carbon atom because it has the most positive character. Hope that helps! :)
How it has the most positive charge ?
Due to inductive effect the density of +ve charge increases and makes it unstable which prefers for acid catalyzed reaction thus base attacks easily.@@SourajeetSahoo
@@songoku362 due to inductive effect +I... positive charge decreases...
I thought SN2 reactions didn't happen at tertiary carbons.
Good video showing the arrow pushing, but the title says this is "acid catalyzed". You should have your acid reformed in the product no?
Hey Daniel! That's correct. Most of the time, mechanisms don't show catalysts being reformed anymore. I hope this helps! :)
Nice video... The olcohol tho
😂
Thanks! Happy to help! :)
