I have been watching your videos only for 2 days but i have learned more than i learned in 30 days from another source.Loved your energy and the way of expressing,thank you !
At 2:40, when the alkene deprotonates the protonated methanol, is it not more straight forward for the alkene to deprotonate the sulfuric acid, which then creates a carbocation that gets attacked by the alcohol? Or will all the sulfuric acid have already protonated the methanol, so there is no chance for this to happen?
Hey chad a little confused at 2:40. You said when h2SO4 gets in water it turns into H3O+ yet I see a oxygen bonded to two H’s and a CH3. Where did that CH3 come from?
The alcohol is the solvent in this reaction not water. So when you put H2SO4 in methanol it will form a protonated methanol and HSO4- as the conjugate base. He was using H3O+ as an example.
Thank you for being our open-source ochem teacher! You made a huge difference for me this semester.
Glad the channel is helping you!
