Hydrohalogenation Reaction Animation:
Covering the reaction of HBr with 3-methylbutene

This reaction includes a carbocation rearrangment.

Chalk animation of the first step of hydroboration oxidation of Alkenes

Been working primilary these past few weeks on Alkenes —> Alcohol reactions. Specifically this was my first attempt at animating Oxyermercuration Demercuration

Taking into consideration that demercuration’s mechanism isn't taught in OCHEM I or II. Hence the mechanism is just faded out/in

Minor Outcome

Major Outcome

Few of the Resources I've made recently reviewing Markovnikov’s Rule.

- added more animations
- added “focused” animations to show minor and major outcomes

I’ve been prolonging attempting to animate hydride shifts when discussing carbocation stability because I was nervous on how to animate the shift

Here is my first attempt; I’d love feedback and comments on how I can improve

Thank you! #chemistry #stem #organicchemistry

A few weeks ago, I thought I had the funniest idea and spent almost an entire weekend to make it happen 🧬

Just posted my reaction animation for the Halogenation of tertiary alcohols (in this case 2-methyl-2-propanol with HCl) over on my YouTube!

Is this one held this Friday cancelled too?

I’ll mention the fundamentals behind why substituted alkenes are more thermodynamically stable compared to less substituted alkenes later!

I’d like to end the section with talking about exceptions (there’s always some) and Hoffman Products!

Finally done with the section of the transition from learning elimination reactions to zaitsev’s rule! I liked how the focus of the major and minor products of the elimination of 2-methyl-2-butanol came out to use as a case study for introducing this rule to predicting major alkene products!

Crazy to see it go; even if the last year had it’s issues - it’s still an end to and era of the last 5 years. Bye TikTok

Trying to work out a format to help illustrate major and minor products

Minor Product

Major Product

The current attempt to focus on major and minor products for the organic chemistry animations is to create various hues for the different “paths” when the the pathway can become bridged.

Minor and major product animations for the elimination of 2-methyl-2-butanol (tertiary alcohol).

Reaction of Ethene with Br2

Reaction of 1-Propene with Cl2

New animation for Halogenation of Alkenes! I’ll be posting both these animations and page over on my Kofi, which will allow free digital download! Keep an eye out over there as I’ll try to be updating and adding more to the page more often!

#chemistry

Since the reaction of PBr3 and PCl3 are similar; both following the SN2 reaction mechanism, I decided to add a new animation with another primary alcohol reacting with PCl3 to compliment the page and earlier animation!

#chemistry

I’m going to try and make it a priority to post more on here :)

Organic Chemistry: Dehydration of Secondary and Tertiary Alcohols with H2SO4 / Heat! The second post is an animation highlighting the reaction with the secondary alcohol 2-propanol!

Hope this helps with your studies!
