Carbocation Rearrangement - Hydride and Methanide Shifts

Professor Dave explains carbocation rearrangement, focusing on E1 and SN1 reactions. He discusses the formation of secondary carbocations and the mechanisms of hydride and methanide shifts, emphasizing the stability of more substituted carbocations. The video covers transition states and the role of thermodynamics in these rearrangements.
