Organic Chemistry

• Life on earth is based on a vast variety of
  reactions and compounds based on the chemistry of
  Carbon Organic Chemistry
• Organic compounds contain Carbon atoms, nearly
  always bonded to other Carbon atoms, Hydrogen,
  Nitrogen, Oxygen, Halides and selected others (S,
  P)
• Carbonates, Cyanides, Carbides, and other
  carbon-containing ionic compounds are NOT organic
  compounds
• Carbon, a group 4A compound, exhibits the unique
  property of forming bonds with itself
  (catenation) and selected other elements to form
  an extremely large number of compounds about 9
  million
• Most organic molecules have much more complex
  structures than most inorganic molecules

3
Organic Chemistry

• Bond Properties, Catenation, Molecular Shape
• The diversity of organic compounds is based on
  the ability of Carbon atoms to bond to each other
  (catenation) to form straight chains, branched
  chains, and cyclic structures aliphatic,
  aromatic
• Carbon is in group 4 of the Periodic Chart and
  has 4 valence electrons 2s22p2
• This configuration would suggest that compounds
  of Carbon would have two types of bonding
  orbitals each with a different energy
• If fact, all four Carbon bonds are of equal
  energy
• This equalization of energy arises from the
  hybridization of the 2s 2p orbitals resulting
  in 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals of equal energy

4
Organic Chemistry

• Hybrid orbitals are orbitals used to describe
  bonding that is obtained by taking combinations
  of atomic orbitals of an isolated atom
• In the case of Carbon, one s orbital and three
  p orbitals, are combined to form 4 sp3 hybrid
  orbitals
• The Carbon atom in a typical sp3 hybrid structure
  has 4 bonded pairs and zero unshared electrons,
  therefore, Tetrahedral structure
• AXaEb (a b) 4 0 AX4
• The four sp3 hybrid orbitals take the shape of a
  Tetrahedron

7
Organic Chemistry

• The bonds formed by these 4 sp3 hybridized
  orbitals are short and strong
• The C-C bond is short enough to allow
  side-to-side overlap of half-filled, unhybridized
  p orbitals and the formation of multiple bonds
• Multiple bonds restrict rotation of attached
  groups
• The properties of Organic molecules allow for
  many possible molecular shapes

Organic Chemistry

• Electron Configuration, Electronegativity, and
  Covalent Bonding
• Carbon ground-state configuration He 2s22p2
• Hybridized configuration 4
  sp3
• Forming a C4 or C4- ion is energetically very
  difficult (impossible?)
• Required energy
• Ionization Energy for C4 - IE1ltIE2ltIE3ltIE4
• Electron Affinity for C4- - EA1ltEA2ltEA3ltEA4
• Electronegativity is midway between metallic and
  most nonmetallic elements
• Carbon, thus, shares electrons to bond covalently
  in all its elemental forms

9
Organic Chemistry

• Molecular Stability
• Silicon and a few other elements also catenate,
  but the unique properties of Carbon make chains
  of carbon very stable
• Atomic Size and Bond strength
• Bond strength decreases as atom size and bond
  length increase, thus, C-C bond strength is the
  highest in group 4A
• Relative Heats of Reaction
• Energy difference between a C-C Bond(346 kJ/mol)
  vs C-O Bond (358 kJ/mol) is small
• Si-Si (226 kJ/mo) vs Si-O (368 kJ/mol) difference
  represents heat lost in bond formation
• Thus, Carbon bonds are more stable than Silicon

10
Organic Chemistry

• Orbitals available for Reaction
• Unlike Carbon, Silicon has low-energy d
  orbitals that can be attacked by lone pairs of
  incoming reactants
• Thus, Ethane (CH3-CH3) with its sp3 hybridized
  orbitals is very stable, does not react with air
  unless considerable energy (a spark) is applied
• Whereas, Disilane (SiH3 SiH3) breaks down in
  water and ignites spontaneously in air

11
Organic Chemistry

• Chemical Diversity of Organic Molecules
• Bonding to Heteroatoms (N, O, X, S, P)
• Electron Density and Reactivity
• Most reactions start (a new bond forms) when a
  region of high electron density on one molecule
  meets a region of low electron density of another
• C-C bond Nonreactive The electronegativities
  of most C-C bonds in a molecule are equal and the
  bonds are nonpolar
• C-H bond Nonreactive the bond is nonpolar
  and the electronegativities of both H(2.1)
  C(2.5) are close
• C-O bond Reactive polar bond
• Bonds to other Heteroatoms Bonds are long
  weak, and thus, reactive

14
Hydrocarbons

• A close relationship exists among Bond Order,
  Bond Length, and Bond Energy
• Two nuclei are more strongly attracted to two
  shared electrons pairs than to one The atoms are
  drawn closer together and are more difficult to
  pull part
• For a given pair of atoms, a higher bond order
  results in a shorter bond length and a higher
  bond energy, i.e.,
• A shorter bond is a stronger bond

Hydrocarbons

• Chiral Molecules Optical Isomerism
• Another type of isomerism exhibited by some
  alkanes and many other organic compounds is
  called Stereoisomerism
• Sterioisomers are molecules with the same
  arrangement of atoms but different orientations
  of groups in space
• Optical Isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism,
  where two objects are mirror images of each other
  and cannot be superimposed (also called
  enantiomers)
• Optical isomers are not superimposable because
  each is asymmetric there is no plane of symmetry
  that divides an object into two identical parts

25
Hydrocarbons

• Chiral Molecules Optical Isomerism
• An asymmetric molecule is called Chiral
• The Carbon atom in an optically active asymmetric
  (l) organic molecule (the Chiral atom) is bonded
  to four (4) different groups.

• Mirror images
• 1C1 1C2 of molecule 1 (left) can be moved to
  the right to sit on top of2C1 2C2 of molecule
  2, i.e.,
• 1C 2C groups can be superimposed
• But, the two groups on C3 are opposite
• ? The two forms are optical isomers and cannot
  be superimposed, i.e., no plane of symmetry to
  divide molecule into equal parts
• C-3 is the Chiral Carbon

Optical Isomers of3-methylhexane
26
Hydrocarbons

• Optical Isomers
• In their physical properties, Optical Isomers
  differ only in the direction each isomer rotates
  the plane of polarized light
• One of the isomers dextrorotary isomer -
  rotates the plane in a clockwise direction (d or
  )
• The other isomer levorotary isomer - rotates
  the plane in a counterclockwise direction (l or
  -)
• An equimolar mixture of the dextrorotary (d or )
  and levorotary (l or -) isomers
• recemic mixture
• does not rotate the plane of light because the
  dextrorotation cancels the levoratation

27
Hydrocarbons

• Optical Isomers
• In their chemical properties, optical isomers
  differ only in a chiral (asymmetric) chemical
  environment
• An optically active isomer is distinguished by
  the chiral atom being attached to 4 distinct
  groups
• If the attached groups are not distinct the
  molecule is NOT optically active
• An isomer of an optically active reactant added
  to a mixture of optically active isomers of an
  another compound will produce products of
  different properties solubility, melting point,
  etc.

28
Nomenclature of Alkanes

• Determine the longest continuous chain of carbon
  atoms. The base name is that of this
  straight-chain alkane.
• Any chain branching off the longest chain is
  named as an alkyl group,
• changing the suffix ane to yl
• For multiple alkyl groups of the same type,
  indicate the number with the prefix di, tri,
• Ex. Dimethyl, Tripropyl, Tertbutyl
• The location of the branch is indicated with the
  number of the carbon to which is attached
• Note The numbering of the longest chain begins
  with the end carbon closest to the carbon with
  the first substituted chain or functional group

Hydrocarbons

• Alkenes
• When a Carbon atom forms a double bond with
  another Carbon atom, it is now bonded to 2 other
  atoms instead of 3 as in an Alkane
• The Geometry now changes from 4 sp3 orbitals
  (Tetrahedral AX4E0) to 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals and
  1 unhybridized 2p orbital (AX3E0 Trigonal
  Planar) lying perpendicular to the plane of the
  trigonal sp2 hybrid orbitals

Review Chapter 10 - Geometry
35
Hydrocarbons

• Alkenes
• Two sp2 orbitals of each carbon form C H sigma
  (?) bonds by overlapping the 1 s orbitals of the
  two H atoms
• The 3rd sp2 orbital forms a C-C (?) bond with the
  other Carbon
• A Pi (?) bond forms when the two unhybridized 2p
  orbitals (one from each carbon) overlap
  side-to-side, one above and one below the C-C
  sigma bond
• A double bond always consists of 1 ? and 1 ? bond

36
Hydrocarbons

• Alkenes CnH2n
• Alkenes substitute the single sigma bond (?) with
  a double bond a combination of a sigma bond and
  a Pi (?) bond
• The double-bonded (-CC-) atoms are sp2
  hybridized
• The carbons in an Alkene structure are bonded to
  fewer than the maximum 4 atoms
• Alkenes are considered unsaturated hydrocarbons

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

• Aromatic Hydrocarbons are Planar molecules
  consisting of one or more 6-carbon rings
• Although often drawn depicting alternating ? and
  ? bonds, the 6 aromatic ring bonds are identical
  with values of length and strength between those
  of C-C CC bonds
• The actual structure consists of 6 ? bonds and 3
  pairs of ? electrons delocalized over all 6
  carbon atoms
• The bond between any two carbons resonates
  between a single bond and a double bond

The orbital picture shows the two lobes of the
delocalized ? cloud above and below the hexagonal
plane of the ?-bonded carbon atoms

53
Reactions of Aromatic Compounds

• The stability of the Benzene ring favors
  substitution reactions
• The delocalization of the pi bonds makes it
  very difficult to break a CC- bond for an
  addition reaction

54
Reactivity Alkenes vs Aromatics

• The double bond (-CC-) is electronrich
• ? Electrons are readily attracted to the
  partially positive H atoms of hydronium atoms
  (H3O) and hydrohalic acids (HX), to yield
  alcohols and alkyl Halides, respectively

55
Reactivity Alkenes vs Aromatics

• The pi electrons in an alkene double bond
  represent a localized overlap of unhybridized 2p
  orbitals, where two regions of electron density
  are located above and below the ? bond
• The localized nature of alkene double bonds is
  very different from the delocalized
  unsaturation of aromatic structures
• Although aromatic rings are commonly depicted as
  having alternating sigma (?) and (?) bonds, the
  (?) bonds are actually delocalized over all 6 C
  (?) bonds
• The reactivity of benzene is much less than a
  typical alkene because the ? electrons are
  delocalized requiring much more energy to break
  up the ring structure to accommodate an
  addition reaction
• Substitution is much more likely from an energy
  perspective because the delocalization is retained

56
Redox Processes in Organic Reactions

• Oxidation Number is not applicable for carbon
  atoms
• Oxidation-Reduction in organic reactions is based
  on movement of electron density around Carbon
  atom
• The number of bonds joining a carbon atom and a
  more electronegative atom (group) vs. the
  number of bonds joining a carbon atom to a Less
  electronegative atom (group)
• The more electronegative atoms will attract
  electron density away from the carbon atom
• Less electronegative atoms will donate electron
  density to the carbon atom
• When a C atom forms more bonds to Oxygen or fewer
  bonds to Hydrogen, the compound is oxidized
• When a C atom forms fewer bonds to Oxygen or more
  bonds to Hydrogen, the compound is reduced

57
Redox Processes in Organic Reactions

• Combustion Reactions (burning in Oxygen)
• Ethane is converted to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and
  water (H2O)
• Each Carbon in CO2 has more bonds to Oxygen than
  in ethane (none) and few bonds to Hydrogen
• Reaction is Oxidation
• Oxidation of Propanol
• C-2 has one fewer bonds to H and one more bond to
  O in 2-propanone - Oxidation

58
Redox Processes in Organic Reactions

• Hydrogenation of Ethene
• Each carbon has more bonds to H in Ethane than in
  Ethene
• Ethene is reduced, H2 is oxidized (loses e-)

59
Organic Reactions

• Functional groups
• A functional group is a reactive portion of a
  molecule that undergoes predictable reactions
• The reaction of an organic compound takes place
  at the functional group
• A functional group is a combination of bonded
  atoms that reacts as a group in a characteristic
  way
• Each functional group has its own pattern of
  reactivity
• The distribution of electron density in a
  functional group affects its reactivity
• Vary from carbon-carbon bonds (single, double,
  triple) to several combinations of
  carbon-heteroatom bonds
• A particular bond may be a functional group
  itself or part of one or more functional groups

60
Organic Reactions

• Functional Groups (Cont)
• Electron density can be low at one end of a bond
  and higher at the other end, as in a dipole, an
  intermolecular force
• The Intermolecular Forces that affect physical
  properties and solubility also affect reactivity
• Alkene (-CC-) and Alkyne (-C?C-) bonds have high
  electron density, thus are functional groups with
  high reactivity
• Classification of Functional Groups
• Functional groups with only single bonds undergo
  substitution reactions
• Functional groups with double or triple bonds
  undergo addition reactions
• Functional groups with both single and double
  bonds undergo substitution reactions

Carbonyl Group

• Functional Groups with Double Bonds
• The Carbonyl group is a Carbon doubly bonded to
  an Oxygen (CO)
• Very versatile group appearing in several types
  of compounds
• Aldehydes
• Ketones
• Carboxylic acids
• Esters
• Anydrides
• Acid Halides
• Amides

78
Aldehydes and Ketones

• An Aldehyde is distinguished from a Ketone by the
  Hydrogen atom attached to the Carbonyl Carbon
• If two Hydrogens are attached to the Carbonyl
  atom, the compound is specific Formaldehyde
  (CH2O)

Aldehyde (- al)
Ketone (-one)
Formaldehyde
79
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Aldehydes
• In Aldehydes the Carbonyl group always appears at
  the end of a chain
• Aldehyde names drop the final e from the alkane
  names and -al Propanal, Isobutanal, etc.
• Alternate naming conventions
• Benzaldehyde, Propionaldehyde

Butanal (Butyraldehyde)
80
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Ketones
• The Carbonyl Carbon always occurs within a chain
  as it is bonded to two other Alkyl groups (R, R)
• Ketones are named by numbering the carbonyl C,
  dropping the final e from the alkane name, and
  adding -one, 4-Heptanone
• Alternate naming conventions
• Use the Alkyl root and add ketone

4-Heptanone (Dipropylketone)
Methylisopropylketone (3-methyl-2-butanone)
81
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Like the CC bond, the Carbonyl (CO) bond is
  electron-rich
• Unlike the CC bond, the CO bond is highly
  polar
• A - The ? and ? bonds that make up the C-O bond
  of the carbonyl group
• B - The charged resonance form shows that the C-O
  bond is polar (?EN 1.0)

82
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Aldehydes and Ketones are formed by oxidation of
  Alcohols
• The CO is an unsaturated structure, thus,
  carbonyl compounds can undergo addition
  reactions and be reduced (forms more bonds to H)
  to form alcohols

83
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Organometallic compounds
• The Carbonyl group exhibits polarity with the
  Carbon atom bearing a slight positive charge and
  the Oxygen bearing a negative charge
• An addition reaction to the Carbonyl group would
  involve an electron-rich group bonding to the
  positive carbon and an electron-poor group
  bonding to the negative Oxygen
• Organometallic compounds have a metal atom (Li or
  Mg) attached to an R group through a polar
  covalent bond

84
Aldehydes and Ketones

• Organometallic compounds
• The two-step addition of an organometallic
  compound to a Carbonyl group produces an Alcohol
  with a different Carbon skeleton

85
Carboxylic Acids

• Carboxylic Acids are formed by adding an
  Hydroxyl group to the Carbonyl Carbon

  reaction between a Carboxylic acid and an alcohol
  to form an Ester
• The Hydroxyl group (OH) from the Alcohol reacts
  with the Carboxyl group to form the Ester and
  Water
• R1COOH R2OH ? R1COOR2 H2O
• Ester group occurs commonly in Lipids, a large
  group of fatty biological substances, such as
  triglycerides

90
Esters

• Hydrolysis is the opposite of Dehydration-Condensa
  tion (Esterification) in which the Oxygen atom
  from water is attracted to the partially positive
  Carbon of the ester carbonyl group, cleaving
  (lysing) the molecule into two parts
• One part gets the OH and one part gets the H
• In Saponification, the process used in the
  manufacture of soap, the ester bonds in animal or
  vegetable fats are Hydrolyzed with a strong
  base

91
Amides

• Amides are derived from the reaction of an Amine
  with a Carboxylic acid or an Ester
• Amides are named by denoting the amine portion
  from the amine and the replacing the -oic acid
  from the Carboxylic acid with -amide

92
Amides

• The partially negative N (2 unbonded e-) of the
  amine is attracted to the partially positive
  carbonyl carbon of the ester
• In the Amine Acid reaction water is lost
• In the Amine Ester reaction an alcohol (ROH) is
  lost
• Amides can be Hydrolyzed in hot water to reform
  the acid and the amine

Amino Acids Proteins

• Amino Acids
• An amino acid has a carboxyl group (COOH) and an
  amine group (NH2) attached to an ?-carbon, the
  2nd C atom in a Carbon-Carbon (C-C) chain
• In the aqueous cell fluid, the NH2 (amino) and
  COOH (carboxyl) groups of amino acids are charged
  because the carboxyl group transfers an H ion to
  H2O to form H3O (acid), which transfers the H
  to the amine group

103
