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

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

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

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

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!
