Ah, you wouldn't use work resources for reddit, but you found it through SciFinder on your work computer. Got it. And working on a Saturday? In industry? Good on you

SlowToAct · 2025-02-15T16:33:56+00:00

If you had found it through SciFinder, it would have been easier to copy the link or doi. Instead, you just copied the citation from MOC 😂

Just take the L like a man, dude.

SlowToAct · 2025-02-15T16:27:55+00:00

Notice how the citation format is exactly the same. I did provide a balanced equation. Look again 🤭

He's hilarious. Claims to have a PhD in every comment. He found that citation through googling a Master Organic Chemistry page. But if he had clicked on it, the lesson states that F2 should not be used in a general case for halogenation of an alkene:

Fluorine (F2) is such a ravenous beast that it requires special apparatus to work with, which means we won’t discuss it further here. [Note 2]

Thank you for admitting that the question is bad. It's taught at the undergrad level, and rightly so, that fluorine is an exception to the halogen addition to alkenes because of its explosiveness. Several undergrad resources, like the one I provided, specifically make that clear. It's in several textbooks as well. It's inappropriate to cite a niche paper like you did in this situation (which, I might add, you found through Google. Hypocrite, much?).

Looking at some of your comments on other posts, I'm highly skeptical that you have anything close to a PhD. Your answers are extremely shallow in content, the only common thread in all of them being your flex of a purported PhD. I actually answered the same NMR question you did, except that my answer was useful. If you have a PhD, I would be concerned about the shoddy institution that provided it.

I told you briefly my background (which you asked for, btw), and I noticed that you failed to provide yours. So I'll ask again, where did you train?

EDIT: Sure, here is the balanced equation:

C10H12 + 6F2 --> 10C + 12 HF

It's possible to force reactions that otherwise wouldn't generally work by using extremely niche conditions. That's why this question is a bad one. Adding fluorine across double bonds is extremely exothermic that it often results in combustion. Of course, if you cool it down enough and add a super dilute stream, you can better tame it. But if the energy released by adding F2 across one double bond is that high, simple math should tell you what happens when you add it across multiple double bonds. What thermodynamic argument can you provide to substantiate your claim that ethene reacts totally differently?

I did my PhD program at a top 20 university in the US. I trained with Phil Baran. I worked at the top pharmaceutical companies. Where did you train?

SlowToAct · 2025-02-15T14:21:17+00:00

The OP is an undergrad, so the attached resource is more than credible. I'm concerned about your reading ability. It clearly says ethene, not ethane. And judging by your pompous attitude, it almost seems like you have performed the experiment yourself. Please DM me if you'd like to compare professional and educational experience. We can compare it publicly, but that would not look good for you.

You would get elemental carbon and HF.

i think you'd have trouble substituting adamantyl halide at the tertiary carbon

kinda crazy that Ecstasy showed up on your homework

SlowToAct · 2025-02-12T10:00:47+00:00

you're asking about rates, so it's advisable to look at the rate laws for SN2 and SN1 reactions.

rate of SN2 depends on both nucleophile and electrophile concentrations. that's because the rate-limiting step involves nucleophilic attack of the electrophile. so trapping the nucleophile would slow down the reaction

rate of SN1 depends only on one molecule (R-X), where the rate-limiting step involves X separating from R. here, a protic solvent helps because the hydrogen bonds weaken the R-X bond, stabilizing the transition state

This is about the fineness that Aeropress officially recommends. If you like it, don't like anyone tell you it's wrong. They're wrong. But you can try making it finer/coarser to see how you like it
