My favourite serie of videos on youtube! Keep it up !
Ayyyy!!! I appreciate that! If you’ve got any doozies for the community, please let me know!
I was thinking that once one of the amines was protonated, a sn2 attack of water would happen, and then a proton transfer, then the lone pairs from oxygen would kick off the C-N sigma bond. This would then repeat for the adjacent nitrogen obtaining formaldehyde. But it would make sense that the neighboring nitrogen would kick the ammonium off first since it's intramolecular.
That’s a good point. In truth, without experimental evidence we can’t actually eliminate your proposal either though. In truth, all mechanisms are really just guesses that may be supported or merely theoretical
@@rojaslab I think both are possible, but the mechanism where the lone pair on the nitrogen become delocalized probably provide a kinetic route due to the proximity, intra vs inter.
@@maxwellzimmerman4835 Agreed. Fun to think about all the possibilities though and go down the rabbit hole!
Great video! I've seen multiple of your videos, frankly and respectfully you need to work on your drawings because after a few steps it becomes so crowded and I can't tell what's going on by then.
Thanks for the respectful feedback, Anddie! I’ll work on making things less cluttered in the future!
Hi, cool video, but the structure of Urotropin that you draw in blue is wrong. The lower nitrogen only has two bonds to cabons while it should have three.
Thanks for pointing that out, Stefan! I don't know what's more impressive, your piano skills or the fact that you knew that molecule is called Urotropin!
@@rojaslab No worries. I am a org. chem Prof. myself. Your videos are a wonderful educational resource!
@@TheStefanSchramm Whaaaat! Small world. In truth, I'm an inorganic chemist. My University asked me to teach organic 2 this summer for the first time, which sparked the videos. Thanks for keeping me honest!
Your teaching is excellent in all videos but this video you draw the wrong urotropin structure this one change
Yes, you are right! I’ll be sure to get it right on the next one!
