@@User125.42 I'm not 100% familiar with the exact edexcel specification but the fundamental chemistry won't change :) But I would say make sure you check this against your specification and past papers. For example, you may be required to show the dipoles in the mechanism, where AQA doesn't require it. Also, OCR doesn't require you to know the nucleophilic addition elimination mechanism, so there may be something similar for Edexcel. When in doubt, check the spec :)

Hi, is a lone pair acceptor the same as electron pair acceptors as a definition for electrophiles!! Thanks you so much for the help can’t believe I haven’t found your channel sooner 😮😢
triethylamine is the name of the nucleohpile, but not the product. Don't forget the additional 'ethyl chain' in the product as it's quarternary ammonium salt. I HIGHLY doubt you will be asked to name a quarternary ammonium salt, but the product is Tetraethylammonium. I hope that makes sense
One of the best organic revision videos for AQA i have seen online. I can only imagine how much effort it must have took you to produce this video, so thank you very much !
I didn't include free radical substitution of alkanes here because it doesn't have any curly arrows for me to draw out for you, but make sure you learn the initiation, propagation and termination step equations for that as it's in the AQA spec!
this is really helpful thank you - could you make a test yourself video with all of the mechanisms and conditions needed? so you show the q and reagent and give time to pause, and the show the answer?
This is a great idea, I think it would help out a lot of students! It would take me a really long time to prepare the questions and make the video but I'll work on it once I have some time :)
Hi man, Very helpful video so thank you very much Just wanted to say u missed the mechanism for formation of the nitronium (required for AQA) at the end. But apart from that great video👍
Wish me luck please! Taking resits in september to try improve my predicted B, maybe even get A*! Its only been a few days but I already understand so much more. Will update when results come near October
BROOOOOOO, im so glad i saw this video and that im taking my a levels this year, since this video is recent, 10 months old. its so good, so simple and consice. a suggestion here is that i think alot of students will find helpful is if you can go through a a level paper, like paper 1 and paper 2. and show your thought process and how to answer questions. love the work man keep it up.
Glad you found it helpful :) I've done quite a lot of organic mechanism past paper question videos, but tbh AQA copyrights the hell out of their exam papers so I can't do a full paper without getting copyright striked to death lol
just a quick question, not related to this but in free radical substitution does your molecule have to be in structural formula or can you leave it as the molecular formula? Eg: can you leave propane as C3H8 or does it have to be ch3ch2ch3?
Phenyl ethanone (correct IUPAC name would be 1-phenylethan-1-one). The phenyl is a substituent group (aka side group) and not part of the carbon chain, there are only 2 carbons in the carbon chain so it is eth :) good question tho!
Also how is the electrophilic addition with the H2SO4 is different from acid catalysed hydration when they are both acid reagents going from alkene to alcohol(once the alkyl sulfate is hydrolysed)?
They are similar, but make sure you realise that the acid catalyst for the hydration mechanism is H3PO4, not H2SO4; and that the H2SO4 in the electrophilic addition is not a catalyst, it is not reformed, it becomes part of the product. Also, the curly arrow mechanism for electrophilic addition only involves the formation of the alkyl hydrogen sulfate (final product) where you simply add the H+ and the OSO2OH- to the molecule. But in the acid-catalysed hydration mechanism, you are showing the addition of the H+ (from the acid) and the -OH, from the H2O. It is a bit frustrating since they are so similar, but A Levels are kind of like a game you need to know the rules to, and these two mechanisms are covered separately in the specification.
I'm not that familiar with the JEE syllabus I'm afraid, but the fundamental chemistry won't change :) But I would say make sure you check this against your syllabus and past papers. For example, you may be required to show the dipoles in the mechanism, where AQA doesn't require it. Also, there may be some other mechanisms you do need to know that are absent from A levels, and some A levels requires that JEE doesn't. I hope that helps a bit!
when you draw the electrophile sulfuric acid is it ok to draw it lie where you show all the atoms or draw it simple version like you did? eliot rinotuol said its better to draw it properly
i am taking edexcel and if i know the syllabus right, there are some mechanisms mentioned in the video that isnt in the syllabus (not sure tbh i am just gonna learn them all) but this vid was extremely helpful to understand the pattern of similar mechanisms. seriously tysm bro i’ve been struggling so hard with these i thought they were all different and they were always insanely difficult to understand.
electrophillic addition is probably the coolest mechanism out of them all b/c at first the electrophile acts as an aelectrophile then it decides to act as a nucleophile loooooooll
I believe most things should carry over, but there may be some information that you don't need to know for OCRA and maybe some things missing, for example I think you don't need to know the mechanisms for acyl chlorides for OCRA (don't quote me on that lol, I mainly focus on AQA atm)

With the acid catalysed hydration of ethene can the acid catalyst also be H2SO4 or does it have to be H3PO4?
I’m pretty sure it has to be H3PO4
