Hello, thank you for the video. I have a few questions. For the last example when using the IUPAC naming rules, how would we number the parent chain if the hydroxyl group were to be on the sixth carbon and the methoxy remained on the second carbon. Would we still prioritize the ether group or would we prioritize the OH group? Also, why was the Isopropyl placed first if the methyl substituent comes first in alphabetical order? 

In 22:05, I was able to understand that radicals are formed when adjacent to the double bond, however how did I get the radical to get there in the first place? Is there like a specific mechanism that shows that, or am I suppose to assume that I can just place a radical there because it would be allylic?

At 31:46, CH3+Cl2 is noted as the intermediate. How would I know that CH3+Cl2 is the intermediate and not CH3 + HCl?

would a single alkene double bond be less stable than a diene? 

How can I know whether or not my E1 rings will form racemic products? In 11:30, there was a major and minor product but they weren't racemic.. 

Sarah - Subject Expert Ahh, I understand now thank you! I have a few more questions, would E1 reactions also follow Hoffman's rule when using bulky bases or would Hoffman's rule only apply to E2 mechanisms when using bulky bases?

Also at 47:29, apart from E2 products, is it possible to get SN2 products for both of the examples provided? 

If Hoffman's Rule applies to E2 mechanisms, why were the most substituted products labeled as the major products at 8:32? 

Ben - Subject Expert Awesome! Thanks

In 3:38, would the C-H bonds on the second compound (at the bottom under IR Active) be considered active since it has a dipole moment? I'm asking because it wasn't highlighted
