Key Concepts

Reaction Prediction

This concept involves analyzing the given reactants to determine what products are likely to form based on known reactivity patterns, stability considerations, and reaction conditions. It requires understanding the nature of the reactants and how they interact under specific conditions, enabling the chemist to anticipate the outcome of the reaction.

Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing equations ensures that the law of conservation of mass is maintained in a chemical reaction. It involves making sure that the number of atoms for each element is equal on both the reactant and product sides of the equation, which is essential for accurately representing the stoichiometry of the reaction.

Reaction Mechanism Analysis

Examining the step-by-step sequence of events, or mechanism, underlying a chemical reaction helps to understand how reactants are transformed into products. Knowledge of reaction mechanisms allows for a deeper insight into the movement of electrons, the formation and breaking of chemical bonds, and the intermediate species that may be involved, which aids in predicting the correct products.

Transcript

00:01 Okay, the best thing to do with this problem is think about the stem of the enzyme and then also look at if there's anything else.

00:11 So in this case, we see that fad is going to fadh2.

00:15 So that means we know that two hydrogens are going to be lost.

00:20 We can also see that from the stem of this dehydrogenase.

00:24 So let's go ahead and draw out just the skeleton structure.

00:30 So we're going to have one, two, three, four, five, six, and then this is going to be s -c -o -a.

00:51 Great.

00:52 So the acyl -coa dehydrogenase is actually going to oxidize the alkanase to oxidize the alkan to an alken.

01:07 So i know oxidation, usually you think of adding more oxygens, but this can also be removing hydrogen.

01:16 So in this case, causing an al -quine to become an al -cane.

01:19 And this specific enzyme is going to have this done between the alpha and beta carbons of this chain.

01:28 So in order to find the alpha and beta carbons, we start here at the carbonyl carbonal carbon, and then the next one is going to be our alpha.

01:36 And then that means that this one is going to be beta.

01:40 So that means we know that these two hydrogens are coming off, and we can corroborate that.

01:48 Oops, gosh, i cannot.

01:50 With fad going to fadh2, and then this would cause a double bond here.

01:57 So that is our first product.

02:00 All right, going on to b.

02:04 Again, let's see what we're adding.

02:05 So we're adding h2o, which usually means.

02:07 Means we're hydrating the compound, and that makes sense since we have a double bond here.

02:13 So you can add things to a double bond to introduce a new functional group...
