https://joechem.io/videos/121 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). https://joechem.io/videos/121 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we build on our Sn1 knowledge that we acquired in https://joechem.io/videos/49. We will tackle two examples where we have both a hydride and methyl shift, take stereochemistry into account, and correctly predict the products.
