General acid/base reaction

Base asks the Acid, "Aren't you related to me? I'm your conjugate!"

Naming Rule: 3

Begin numbering the longest chain at the end with the nearest branch point Number the carbons of the parent chain from the end that gives the substituents the lowest numbers. When compairing a series of numbers, the series that is the "lowest" is the one which contains the lowest number at the occasion of the first difference. If two or more side chains are in equivalent positions, assign the lowest number to the one which will come first in the name.

Kinetics

Concerned with speed that a reaction goes to completion. fastest product formed

Cis/trans isomers are non-superimposable molecules having the same molecular formula and connectivity.

Secondary haloalkanes

Depending upon conditions, secondary alkanes may react by any of the 4 mechanisms: SN1, E1, SN2, E2. Good nucleophiles favor SN2 Strong bases result in E2 Weakly nucleophilic polar media give SN1 and E1

Naming Rule: 1

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain. Number the longest chain, write the name of the longest chain next to the appropriate arrow and write the name of a branching group

Naming Rule: 3B

If 2 substituents are on the same carbon, then number both with the same number

Naming Rule: 3A

If at the first branching occurs equal distance from both ends, begin numbering at the nearest 2nd branch. If chains of equal length are competing for selection as the parent chain, then the choice goes in series to: a) the chain which has the greatest number of side chains. b) the chain whose substituents have the lowest- numbers. c) the chain having the greatest number of carbon atoms in the smaller side chain. d)the chain having the least branched side chains.

Leaving-Group Ability

(best) I- > Br- > Cl- > F- (worst) The "leaving group ability" of a leaving group can be correlated to its ability to accommodate a negative charge. For halogens, iodide is a good leaving group, while fluoride is a poor leaving group in SN2 reactions. SN2 reactions w/ fluoroalkanes are rarely observed.

SN1 reaction

*unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions: 2 steps 1. Leaving group leaves forming a positively charged carbocation (rate limiting step) *The rate of rxn depends only on the concentration of the substrate rate = k [R-L] R-L is the alkyl group containing the leaving group *Anything that accelerates the formation of the carbocation increase the rate of rxn 2. Nucleophile attacks the carbocation (unstable) *results in substitution product

The properties of the cycloalkanes differ from those of their straight chain analogs.

A. Cycloalkanes have higher BPs, MPs, and densities than their straight-chain analogs. ·Increased London forces: due to more rigid & symmetric cyclic systems. B. Smaller cycloalkanes with an odd # of carbons have lower MP than their even numbered neighbors. ·Attributed to crystal packing Cyclopropane (60o) and cyclobutane (90o) possess C-C-C bond angles significantly different from 109.5o and are strained. This is termed ring strain.

upfield and downfield nmr

It is often convienient to describe the relative positions of the resonances in an NMR spectrum. For example, a peak at a chemical shift, δ, of 10 ppm is said to be downfield or deshielded with respect to a peak at 5 ppm, or if you prefer, the peak at 5 ppm is upfield or shielded with respect to the peak at 10 ppm.

Mechanism for solvolysis

Step 1: Dissociation of the Haloalkane Step 2: The immediate reaction of carbocation w/ solvent The alkyloxonium ion (strong acid) deprotonates

6,8-dimethyl-3-decanol

Ten carbon atoms in the LCC makes the compound a derivative of decane (rule 1), and the OH on the third carbon atom makes it a 3-decanol (rule 2) The carbon atoms are numbered from the end closest to the OH group. That fixes the two methyl (CH3) groups at the sixth and eighth positions. The name is 6,8-dimethyl-3-decanol (not 3,5-dimethyl-8-decanol).

alcohol functional groups do not, typically, show splitting.

The hydrogen atom in the alcohol group exchanges with the solvent, which then does not show splitting.

Chemical Shift (HNMR)

The difference between the resonance frequency of the chemically shifted hydrogens and the resonance frequency of the hydrogens on a reference compound (such as tetramethylsilane Si(CH3)4 - most common because it contains many hydrogens that are all symmetrical and all very well shielded; gives one large peak all the way upfield/right). EWGs tend to lower shielding so they decrease the magnetic field strength at which resonance takes place -> will be further left. EDGs tend to increase shielding and increase required field strength for resonance -> will be further right.

Deshielding

The phenomenon of atoms pulling electron density away from surrounding atoms; in NMR spectroscopy, pulls a group further downfield on the spectrum. *Stronger magnetic field -Chemical shift is increased due to removed electron density

Eclipsing strain

Torsional strain or eclipsing strain is the increase in potential energy of a molecule due to repulsion between electrons in bonds that do not share an atom. eg: Consider two conformations of ethane: The smallest dihedral angle is 60º in 1; it is 0º in 2.

E2 Elimination Reaction pt. 2

2SN2 and E2 reactions compete when the substrate is a secondary or primary system.

E2 Elimination Reaction

1. Strong bases result in bimolecular elimination At high concentrations of base, the rate of alkene formation becomes proportional to both the starting halide & base Strong bases (OH-, RO-) can attack haloalkanes before carbocation formation. The hydrogen extracted is from a carbon next to the leaving group.

IUPAC rules for naming alcohols

1. The longest continuous chain (LCC) of carbon atoms containing the OH group is taken as the parent compound—an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. The chain is numbered from the end nearest the OH group. 2. The number that indicates the position of the OH group is prefixed to the name of the parent hydrocarbon, and the -e ending of the parent alkane is replaced by the suffix -ol. (In cyclic alcohols, the carbon atom bearing the OH group is designated C1, but the 1 is not used in the name.) Substituents are named and numbered as in alkanes. 3. If more than one OH group appears in the same molecule (polyhydroxy alcohols), suffixes such as -diol and -triol are used. In these cases, the -e ending of the parent alkane is retained.

Describe the influence of H-bonds on the physical properties (BP, MP, ...) of alcohol molecules.

Alcohols are substantially less volatile, have higher melting points, and greater water solubility than the corresponding hydrocarbons high polarity of the hydroxyl group which, when substituted on a hydrocarbon chain although the strengths of such bonds are much less than those of most conventional chemical bonds, they are still significant (about 5 to 10kcal per bond). Clearly then, the reason alcohols have higher boiling points than corresponding alkyl halides, ethers, or hydrocarbons is because, for the molecules to vaporize, additional energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds. Alternatively, association through hydrogen bonds may be regarded as effectively raising the molecular weight, thereby reducing volatility

Nomenclature of Alcohols

Alcohols with one to four carbon atoms are frequently called by common names, in which the name of the alkyl group is followed by the word alcohol:

Organic Nomenclature

Alkanes - saturated hydrocarbons The names of the straight chain saturated hydrocarbons for up to a 12 carbon chain are shown below. The names of the substituents formed by the removal of one hydrogen from the end of the chain is obtained by changing the suffix -ane to -yl.

Oxidation of 2^0 to a ketone - 2 times =O and OH turns into a carbonyl

characteristics of an SN2 mechanism

The SN2 mechanim is the one step or concerted process. In the simplest cases, an SN2 reaction has the following characteristics: the nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon to form a new σ bond while at the same time, the carbon to leaving group, LG, bond breaks. This is a bimolecular expression because it depends on two molecular species, the nucleophile, Nu, and the substrate, R-LG.

Cycloalkanes: parent compound

The alkyl or cyclo- group with the greatest number of carbons is the parent compound. The smaller unit is generally treated as a substituent to the larger unit. ·Propylcyclopentane (not cyclopentylpropane) ·Cyclohexyloctane (not octylcyclohexane) The prefixes di-, tri, tetra- are not considered in alphabetizing the substituents. 2-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclobutane

is water a weak nucleophile?

The attack on the halogenoalkane is therefore by one of the lone pairs on the oxygen. Because there isn't a full negative charge, water isn't going to be as good a nucleophile as a negative ion like OH-, and so the reaction is slower.

flagpole conformation cycloalkanes

The boat conformation (1) is one of the infinite number of conformations the cyclohexane ring could assume. In the boat conformation the two bonds shown in red (2) are called flagpole bonds. The hydrogen atoms on the flagpole bonds are called flagpole hydrogens.Oct 12, 2015

bridgehead carbons

The carbon atoms shared by two or more rings. Three chains of carbon atoms (bridges) connect the bridgeheads.

Zaitsev's Rule

The carbon going to lose the H is the one with the least H intramolecular dehydration will produce an alkene with greater number of alkyl groups. an elimination usually gives the most substituted alkene product.

stepwise reaction

The chemical reaction takes place with one or more steps with one or more unstable substance as intermediated is called a stepwise reaction.

concerted reaction

The chemical reaction that proceed in a single step, in which breaking of old bonds and formation new bond takes place simultaneously, there is no intermediates in this reactions, only transition state exist during the process of the reaction.

Identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary hydrogens.

The hydrogens which are attached to primary carbons are called primary hydrogens. The hydrogens which are attached to secondary carbons are called secondary hydrogens. Similarly, the hydrogens which are attached to tertiary carbons are called tertiary hydrogens. Primary is represented as 1^o Secondary is represented as 2^o Tertiary is represented as 3^o Primary carbons are the carbons which are attached to one other carbon atom and secondary carbons are the carbons which are attached to two other carbon atoms. Similarly, tertiary carbon atoms are attached to three other carbon atoms.

London dispersion forces

The intermolecular attractions resulting from the constant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles (the wave) the attractive forces in alkanes These forces fall off as the 6th power of the distance London forces increase with size, hence melting points etc. increase with size, too.

Naming Rule: 6

There are 5 common names permitted. They are

E2 reactions proceed in one step

Three changes take place in a single step: Deprotonation by base Departure of leaving group Rehybridization of carbon center (change)

Primary haloalkanes

Unhindered: always bimolecular and almost always SN2. Sterically hindered strong bases may result in E2 reactions. If branching is introduced, good nucleophiles still react predominately by SN2. Strong bases tend to react by E2. Primary haloalkanes react very slowly with poor nucleophiles

Numbering Cycloalkanes

Use the lowest possible numbering sequence for polysubstituted cycloalkanes. If two identical numbering sequences are possible, use alphabetical precedence (put all substituents in alphabetical order).
