Ketones + HCN | A Level Chemistry | EDEXCEL

This tutorial covers ketones and their reactions with hydrogen cyanide. This is called a Nucleophilic Addition reaction, and it's vital that you understand this topic for the A-level Chemistry exam. By the end of this video you will be able to construct this reaction using curly arrows, relevant lone pairs, dipoles and evidence of optical activity to show the mechanism. Pay close attention to this topic, because this reaction is almost exactly the same as if it were an aldehyde. We use Butane as the example in this video, however, you should also explore other molecules—because you might be tested on any number of molecules on the exam. This is for A-Level Chemistry Edexcel Students. #Mechanism #NucleophilicAddition #Ketones #OrganicChemistry #alevelchemistry #alevelchemistryAQA #alevelchemistryOCR #alevelchemistryEDEXCEL #alevelchemistrypastpaper #alevelchemistryrevision #alevelchemistrynotes #ASchemistry #OCR #EDEXCEL #OCR #chemistrypaper1 #chemistrypaper2 #chemistrypaper3 ______________________________________ This video is from The Ultimate Guide To A-Level Cemistry - a super condensed, exam focused revision course that covers all of the new AQA, OCR, and Edexcel specifications: http://tailoredtutors.co.uk Improve a grade GUARANTEED in A-Level Biology, Chemistry, or Maths by using our revision materials. ______________________________________ Facebook: https://fb.me/tailoredtutors Reviews: https://www.facebook.com/TailoredTutors/reviews/ Instagram: https://instagr.am/tailoredtutors Email us if you have any questions or suggestions! office@tailoredtutors.co.uk
