You carried me through Orgo 1, 5 years ago, and now that I'm studying for the MCAT, you're carrying me through again. Great to see your channel grow. I remember when your channel just a few thousand subscribers and I thought I had found a cache of gold.
Thank you thank you thank you so much!!! I don't understand the way my lecturers teach this at my uni, and coming back from a long study break just makes it a lot more difficult! However, this video alone helped me to grasp the concept of resonance much easier! Thank you!!!!
@@Leah4sci Hi Leah hope you and your baby are doing well ♡♡♡ Yes, making it fun was successful, but also successful on more. A couple months ago i finally graduated from my bachelor's, 5 years in, instead of the supposed 3. What was keeping me? Organic chemistry. Years of trying to make it understood through my teacher's classes was not working but then i started watching and studying through your videos and everything was finally advancing. Now I've moved to Italy, will start a Masters in October, and I'm pretty sure I'll need to come back here but just know you helped me finish a chapter I had no idea I would be able to finish and now can start a new one and get closer in the pursue of my dreams. Best of wishes, keep up the amazing work and colorful explanation schemes and thank.you. from the bottom of my heart.
i understand EWG EDG & SN1 VS SN2. but where would i find resources describing condition's where the aliphatic chain is added to as opposed to the benzene ring? is this just anti markovnikov using peroxides as well as SN2 with strong nucleophiles so there is no carbocation intermediate for methyl or hydride shifts? ? EAS & NAS dont seem to cover this.
After one of the pi bonds in the aromatic ring resonates on to the individual carbon, we have a lone pair sitting on an atom that is also forming three bonds - two to carbons and one to hydrogen. That makes five electrons surrounding an atom that has four valence electrons. Which means the carbon has a formal charge of -1. For more on formal charge and a shortcut for calculating it, visit Leah4sci.com/Formal
Based of your theory of organic chemistry, is it possible to trap the ketal of Phenol using Dean-Stark trap, e.g. 1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]deca-6,8-diene [23783-59-7]. Then this can participate in a cheletropic reaction. Alternatively, it might be possible to use 3,4-Difluorostyrene (or m,p-Dichloro) with N-Boc Pyrrole directly. A ketene lamp is the third possibility.

Why is the formal charge on O for the deprotonated phenol (for the phenoxide ion) -1 and not 6-5=+1?? Where do the extra two electron come from when the -H left? thanks Leah
There seems to be no mention of electron density. How would you compare tertiary, secondary, primary alcohol if it weren't for electron density? Or is it accounted for by Induction?
So wait at the end you compared phenol and ethanoic acid based on Induction (i.e the 2 Oxygen atoms vs 1 oxygen atom). Shouldn't then Induction be before Resonance? I could be wrong but doesn't Induction give rise to resonance in many cases for example in carboxylic acid where Oxygen pulls electrons and therefore produces resonance. If induction produces resonance, then why should Resonance be considered as a separate criterion or prioritized over Induction?
I believe the effect that was prioritized here was the A for "Atom", not induction. The type of atom holding the charge (oxygen over carbon) was what made ethanoate the more stable conjugate.
Loved your video! but I just wanted to ask whether the additional resonance of oxygen will also be observed in methylphenol (where the CH3 group is covalently bonded to that C-atom of the ring which lies exactly opposite to that C-atom of the ring to which OH group is bonded)?
The formal charge of carbon became negative because of the presence of the lone pair. The two electrons previously in the pi bond went from being shared equally between two separate carbon atoms to sitting on a single carbon atom. If you count total electrons, the carbon is sharing 3 electrons in bonds with hydrogen and the two adjacent carbons. In addition, it has the 2 electrons in the lone pair. That makes 5 electrons sitting directly on that carbon atom. (Formal charge: 4 - 5 = -1)

Neutral molecules are more favorable than those carrying a charge. When you talk about being “happy”, molecules always prefer to be neutral and have formal charges of zero (or as close to zero as possible). When we deprotonate phenol, the oxygen bears a formal charge of -1. It is not possible for this molecule to be completely neutral, but by sharing the charge on oxygen with other atoms in the molecule through resonance, we can create greater stability for the phenoxide (as compared to the conjugate of cyclohexanol).
Phenol make resonance so Oxygen atom can distribute it's electron to the ring . This property makes phenol more acidic Resonance of Cyclohexanol does not exist.. Am I correct mam ?
Professor when 3 degree carbocatian is more stable than a 2 degree one then why 3 degree one reacts faster than 2?? It should be happier & 2 degree is more unstable hence it should react faster to gain stability

I don't understand your question. adding a chain to an aromatic ring would fall under Friedel Crafts in EAS
Can you plz do videos on dihydric and trihydric alcohols prepration and chemical properties
oooh that sounds like a fun topic. I wonder how many students would be interested in something like this
where does the negative charge come from 2:03 ?

Hi, thanks for your helpful videos! I just wanted to ask If you have posted the Alcohol cheat sheet or not yet bc I can't find it.
Not yet
Why is the formal charge on O for the deprotonated phenol (for the phenoxide ion) -1 and not 6-5=+1?? Where do the extra two electron come from when the -H left? thanks Leah
H doesn't take the electrons with it and so they wind up on oxygen
Thank you so much I understood it fully
You are welcome!
There seems to be no mention of electron density. How would you compare tertiary, secondary, primary alcohol if it weren't for electron density? Or is it accounted for by Induction?
At which specific point in this video do you have a question?
It's very helpful for me I am from India

Are phenolic Good elelctrical and thermal conductivty or not..
That’s not necessarily what this video is about, but I don’t believe phenolic compounds are good conductors of heat or electricity.
Loved your video! but I just wanted to ask whether the additional resonance of oxygen will also be observed in methylphenol (where the CH3 group is covalently bonded to that C-atom of the ring which lies exactly opposite to that C-atom of the ring to which OH group is bonded)?
Yes, you should still see the same resonance pattern.
@@Leah4sci Thank you
Thankya for this ❤️from pakistan

when doing the resonance structure for phenol, how did the formal charge become negative for carbon?
The formal charge of carbon became negative because of the presence of the lone pair. The two electrons previously in the pi bond went from being shared equally between two separate carbon atoms to sitting on a single carbon atom. If you count total electrons, the carbon is sharing 3 electrons in bonds with hydrogen and the two adjacent carbons. In addition, it has the 2 electrons in the lone pair. That makes 5 electrons sitting directly on that carbon atom. (Formal charge: 4 - 5 = -1)
Thanks! And what about when the phenol has NH2 as substituent? I don't understand why it is less acid than phenol...

why oxygen is not happy when it is charged although it follows the octet rule in this case
Neutral molecules are more favorable than those carrying a charge. When you talk about being “happy”, molecules always prefer to be neutral and have formal charges of zero (or as close to zero as possible). When we deprotonate phenol, the oxygen bears a formal charge of -1. It is not possible for this molecule to be completely neutral, but by sharing the charge on oxygen with other atoms in the molecule through resonance, we can create greater stability for the phenoxide (as compared to the conjugate of cyclohexanol).
the example you gave for an adult for oxygen and children being the carbon makes so much sense.... lol thanks
You're welcome, glad it helped!
can you please explain how p-methoxy benzoic acid is less acidic than benzoic acid? Thanks.
That has to do with inductive effect rather than resonance. See leah4sci.com/acidbase
Phenol make resonance so Oxygen atom can distribute it's electron to the ring . This property makes phenol more acidic
Resonance of Cyclohexanol does not exist..
Am I correct mam ?
That's correct. The resonance in phenol is the cause of its greater acidity in comparison to cyclohexanol, which has no resonance.
@@Leah4sci Thank you mam

At 13:03, you switched from nitrophenol to nitrobenzene, but the compound was nitrophenol. Good video nonetheless.
oh wow good catch!!! Yes that was a... 'speako' (spoken typo) lol thanks for pointing this out
Nice video

Good
Thanks
thanks a lot maam
you're very welcome
I am lucky as I am a part of your channel
PKa of 7 is more acidic than PKa of 10 .... it's 10^3 more acidic
that is correct, did I mess that up in the video?
thumbs up
Thanks!
