Reaction of an Ether with an Unstable Carbocation Intermediate
This video looks at the SN2 pathway taken by ethers that are unable to form a stable carbocation intermediate.
Substitution Reaction of an Ether with a Stable Carbocation Intermediate
This video tutorial looks at the SN1 reaction of an ether - examining both the mechanism and product prediction. We look at how to identify when this pathway would occur.
