I agree with the others who have mentioned it, you are showing a CH3 in the middle of a molecule which should be a CH2, I'm learning this and got a bit confused for a second.
thanks for that. but to be honest, it might be a good idea to redo the video due to the amount of errors. mobile viewers cannot see the annotations, which can further confuse things. but I got it! so thanks for the video :)
what would happen if i'll use tertiary alcohol in esterification? Are there any difference between primary alcohol and tertiary alcohol in esterification?
Yes there is! Esterification with tertiary alcohols is much slower than that with primary and secondary. This is because alcohols here are acting as nucleophiles; and more bulky is the nucleophile, more difficult it is to attack ! Also, tertiary alcohols, in the present of a strong acid catalyst undergo dehydration reaction (due to the formation of a stabilized carbocation), which is much faster than esterification. Thus, the order of reactivity is : ch3oh > 1 deg > 2 deg > 3 deg
@d00bleA But sir, @ChommyK also implied that the carbon cannot have 5 bonds. Alcohol should be HO-CH2-R indeed. This can confuse some students pretty much. However, still brilliant explanation! Thanks!
You made the whole mechanism quite clear. Thankyou :)

Peace be upon you Why put CH3 where it should be in CH2Please I want to clarify

Just a minor correction: it's HO-CH2-R, not OH-CH3-R
Oh you've helped me so much thank you. I like your videos they're quite clear :)

in alcohal attack carbon form 5 bond which is incorrect .it is HOCH2R. not HOCH3R
Gullpanra Khushal yes, I though that was wrong...
Well...the CH2.

Yes, it is Rch2oh rather than Rch3oh👍.
Very helpful... Thanku 😊
Helpful one 👌♥
If you're using an acid to catalyze the reaction, wouldn't this technically be called a Fischer Esterfication? Sorry to be so nit-picky,
Hey I put a not on the video where this error is!
how does H2SO4 make an hydrozonium ion?
Yep whoops I think I misunderstood. Just added some annotations now.
Je ne comprende pas...arrrgh!!! tres dur
i thought end product was supposed to be water. + isopentyl acetate, not H3O + isopentyl acetate
Thank u ur just amazing 🙂🤩🤩👌👏👏👍
since when carbon can make 5 bond???!!!!
thank youuuu
@pickthisgirl where at?
gudd
