You’ll learn the step-by-step alkyne oxymercuration mechanism, including Keto Enol Tautomerization to isomerize an unstable enol intermediate. And finally you’ll learn about the regioselectivity when starting with an asymmetrical alkyne ↪ Links & Resources Mentioned In This Video ↩ ▸ Alkyne Reaction Series + Cheat Sheet https://leah4sci.com/alkyne ▸Keto Enol Tautomerization    • Keto Enol Tautomerism Acid and Base Reacti...   ▸Markovnikov’s Rule https://Leah4sci.com/markovnikov ▸Hybridization https://Leah4sci.com/hybrid ▸Drawing Skeletal Structures https://Leah4sci.com/skeletal ▸Carbocation Stability https://Leah4sci.com/carbocation ▸Retrosynthesis https://leah4sci.com/organic-chemistr... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⏱ In this video: [0:14] Oxymercuration of Alkynes Overview [1:14] Alkene Oxymercuration Review [2:10] Shortcut for Drawing the Alkyne Oxymercuration Product [3:02] Forming the Mercurinium Ion Intermediate [4:53] Hydration of Intermediate at Markovnikov Position [6:48] Keto Enol Tautomerization to Form Ketone Product [9:10] Review of Regioselectivity - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Follow along with your semester by using my Orgo Syllabus Companion: https://leah4sci.com/syllabus For more in-depth review including practice problems and explanations, come join my online membership site, the Organic Chemistry Study Hall: https://leah4sci.com/join ❓Questions?
