Acylation (Acid Anhydride Reactions) 

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos, they've really helped me get to Medical School by helping me get my A in Edexcel A Level Chem :)

watching this at 2x speed for my exam which is in less than 2 hours :))))))))))))

Perfect timing, I'm just covering this in class! Thank you!

Thank you! My textbook doesn't show this mechanism, so you're a lifesaver!

This is so well explained, l really understand it now. Thank you

Smashed it again! Thanks Chris

thank you so much!!!!! this video really helped me alot

Thank you so much !!!!!

Great video! is this video also relevant for the AQA syllabus?

i dont think the h just falls off. Im pretty sure u have to use some sort of base like pyridine or NET3 to take the hydrogen. So how would u protonate the product if there is no free h+ floating around?

Why didn't you mention the acid-catalization of the reaction?

thank you so much for these videos, organic gets really confusing to me :)

some textbooks show the water nucleophile to have one lone pair and others show it to have two lone pairs on the oxygens im not sure which to use.

Silly question but with a definite reason for asking....if you mix two (acidic) molecules of succinic anhydride with one (basic) molecule of Zinc Oxide, what happens? I know one mole of Zinc Oxide can neutralise two moles of alkyl thio-acid to make ZDDP. Can it perform a similar trick with SA?

Love you... God bless u in your journey

Superb

Hi sir should we be aware of acid anhydride reactions for OCR A as nothing on the specification says about this?

hello teacher l am amedical student in my first stage and l want to study medicine in Britain or America 🇺🇸 l have not any information about that could you help me please?

if anything the volume is very sensible, don't hv 2 strain your ears for every word he is speaking
