I'm studying for my final exam which is in 4 days and your alkene reaction playlist has been a life saver. I go to one of the top universities in Canada and my professor gets paid lots and lots of money yet I can't understand him at all. You, on the other hand, explain it so simply and perfectly that a person like me ( who is way below average at chem) can understand it. Thank you very much :)
Your channel is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I know it sounds silly-- but you provide a beautiful thing to students-- hope -- in a class that is notoriously daunting. THANK YOU!
Wow, that is a complicated reaction. Explained MUCH better than my textbook and every other resource I've used thus far. Professors at my university don't even expect us to know the mechanism for the oxidation part - they think it's too tough for us! What a shame. Leah proving 'em wrong one video at a time.
theres no way. this is toooo much. i have an exam in 2 days, im so beyond unbelievably not ready. a billion different reactions, rules, reagants, mechanisms, reactants, this is anti, this is syn, this does that, this does this. this applies here but doesnt apply there. remember this for here, that for there, these for this. understand this, and that, and those and hoooooooooooooooooooly smokes. theres no way im passing this class let ALONE acing it as i need to. WTH is this subject??????? im so overwhelmed its just insane. as amazing as your videos are i just dont know what to do. this is an absurd subject like what the heckkk. guess i can kiss pharmacy school goodbye wow...
Deep breath! step 1, figure out if you can actually pass your next exam. If not, can you get an extension? If not, can you aim to learn SOME of the reactions very well and hope to get SOME points on your exam? THEN after it's over, put in 250% effort into learning everything you missed so that you cannot help but to ACE every subsequent quiz/exam and hopefully balance out your score. If your dream is pharmacy, don't give up, you must be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Email me and let's talk. (reference this comment so I know who you are) leah4sci.com/contact
You're amazing! I never knew this reaction had so much behind the scenes chemistry going on. My textbook has literally just squeezed this in without explaining what really happens. You've made it so clear and I really appreciate your efforts and your narration is just perfect ❤️
This whole mechanism got me all types of f*cked up xD Im so glad you said "most professors won't ask you to do this" because I can just learn that OH is added to the less substituted side xD THANK YOU LEAH! I just watched your WHOLE alkene reactions playlist and helped me understand all the concepts. Much love from 2018 :) 4 years later and still rocking it
You are the best! I've been bingeing on your videos and it helped me understand everything about organic chemistry! I love how you explain everything in a simple understanding way. Thank you so much :D!!
I Can't thanks you enough you are really great omg i cant believe i understood everything in this amazing alkenes serise much love for you princess of organic
I find myself so lucky that I found your channel...!! I was actually struggling with organic chemistry until I found your videos! A month and a few weeks left for my exams.. I hope I'd be able to ace in organic chem. :) Thanks!
Hey guys. If you love the videos that Leah has on youtube, don't forget to subscribe. Furthermore, give her studyhall service a try. I'm currently subscribed and I can hang my hat on the fact that I will not have a problem with ochem 1. Leah answers questions on her facebook group every day. If she doesn't get to it first, someone else will. She is ultra-responsive to questions of any kind. Recently, someone posted an usual reaction and she went ahead and made a video about it so everyone could understand it. Her service is very interactive and not just one of those services where you're on your own. Her service is one of a kind. You can potentially interact with her almost every day.
Ikr! I'm understanding for the first time whatever is written in my book(NCERT) in 40-50 words and my teacher explained in a really hard to follow manner
Very well done job on the hydroboration reaction. Was wondering since Aluminum is like Boron with 3 electrons in its outer shell, can it undergo the same process ? Or is it too bulky because of a larger atomic diameter ?
Hi , Dear Leah , I want to ask about Hydroboration , on step 2 : oxidation , what if it is a OH- attached to the Boron instead of the OOH- , then OH- will have nothing to kick out (originally OOH- will kick out OH- and replaced by R group to form - BOR ) , and the R group can't attach back to the Oxygen atom , then It would be Boron with 3 OH- , B(OH)3 , below are 2 questions : 1. can I just skip the H2O2 ( not adding any) and just add H2O & NaOH 2. is it OOH- must attack before OH- attack Boron? so can't form B(OH)3 directly? any chance OH- can attack before OOH- when OH- is just adjacent to the Boron atom?
I'm sorry, but I don't offer tutoring/discussion through RUclips comments. For help with this and more, I recommend joining the organic chemistry study hall. Full details: leah4sci.com/join
Leah please will you tell if there will be any change in the step 1 of hydroboration if two H's in BH3 are replaced by some bulky R/alkyl groups. (Please consider 2-Methyl-2butene as it has secondary and tertiary carbons)
The reaction starts with initial attack of pi bond to the Lewis acid borane and as soon as the attack happens the boran becomes a borohydride analogue which is highly reactive and want to give an hydride to an electrophilic center which gives no chance to the broken pi bond to rotate via single bond rotation and thereby prevents any anti addition. You can take a look at my channel ruclips.net/channel/UCbb4-QL09VpgEtlXt2Mw3TA
BH3 reacts with the alkene in a simultaneous 'concerted' mechanism. Since B and H add together, they have to add next to each other on the same 'syn' side. B is ultimately replaced by OH in a series of steps once again on the same face of the molecule
I have wonderful feeling ,,,like i can learn organic chemistry through this channel fastly....Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much #Leah Fisch :)
TarabAseel12 HAHHA are you his friend? Perhaps lover? You’ve got this immense sense of loyalty to him. If I really need to clarify it for you, there exists countless people who tutor in this world. Some tutors connect better with certain people. Boo, I hurt your fragile feelings .... grow up and stop projecting your inadequacy onto the world.
Nini Le I’m laughing right now, no I’m not his friend but I wish I were, he is a great helpful guy who helps for free, and I happen to tutor o chem for free as well for 10 years already, what have you done to humanity except being a negative influence? You’ve got issues.

good question but I have no idea.

Not the boron being bullied by other molecules who force it to take another bond... :(
big bullies

Can anyone explain why BH3 is sp2 hybridized? I though single bonds were sp3 hybridized and BH3 has 3 single bonds. Please help me with this!
It's not about single bonds, rather it's about how many groups are around the atom. I cover this in my hybridization video
Супер објашњаваш.👏👏👏👍👍👍
Glad you liked it!
2:26 isnt that the transition state ?
Yes, exactly. It's not a stable intermediate, but a transition state that is unable to be isolated in solution.
In the hydroboration step...H- ( minus) comes out of BH3 ,right?
And what is the difference between regioselective and stereoselective
at which point in the video?
Hi , Dear Leah , I want to ask about Hydroboration , on step 2 : oxidation , what if it is a OH- attached to the Boron instead of the OOH- , then OH- will have nothing to kick out (originally OOH- will kick out OH- and replaced by R group to form - BOR ) , and the R group can't attach back to the Oxygen atom , then It would be Boron with 3 OH- , B(OH)3 , below are 2 questions :
1. can I just skip the H2O2 ( not adding any) and just add H2O & NaOH
2. is it OOH- must attack before OH- attack Boron? so can't form B(OH)3 directly? any chance OH- can attack before OOH- when OH- is just adjacent to the Boron atom?
I'm sorry, but I don't offer tutoring/discussion through RUclips comments. For help with this and more, I recommend joining the organic chemistry study hall. Full details: leah4sci.com/join
How does the Pi bond attacks the boron, isn’t boron has a -1 charge ?
Boron is neutral with an incomplete octet (exception to the octet rule). The pi bond attacks its empty P orbital
Poor boron getting attacked over and over
Poor thing...
loved it. I tried to sign up for the book and cheat sheets but I never got anything emailed to me.
Contact me about this on my website so I can figure out what happened: leah4sci.com/contact
Leah please will you tell if there will be any change in the step 1 of hydroboration if two H's in BH3 are replaced by some bulky R/alkyl groups.
