EVERY Organic Mechanism You NEED To Know｜AQA A Level Chemistry Revision

This video is intended to be an ultimate guide and revision on EVERY organic chemistry curly arrow mechanism you need to know for your A Level chemistry exams under the AQA specification, helping you revise and prepare for your paper 2 and 3 exams.

🔍 In this video, we cover:
00:00 - Intro and breakdown of video
00:25 - Nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkanes (haloalkanes)
10:22 - Elimination of halogenoalkanes
13:25 - Electrophilic addition of alkenes
21:59 - Acid catalysed hydration of ethene
24:15 - Acid catalysed elimination of alcohols
26:29 - Nucleophilic addition of ketones and aldehydes
30:58 - Nucleophilic addition-elimination of acyl chlorides
36:57 - Electrophilic substitution of benzene (nitration and Friedel-Crafts acylation)

PLEASE NOTE: I did NOT include the free radical substitution mechanism of alkanes because it does not involve curly arrows - so ensure you learn the initiation, propagation, and termination step equations for this as it's in the spec!
