Formal Charge
FC= (# valence e) - (# of bonded e)/2 - (# non bonding e)
Bronsted lowry
acid= donates H+--- forms conjugate base base= accepts H+ --- forms conjugate acid
PKa
Pka= -logKa strong acid= small Pka Strong base= large PKa Ka= [products]/ [reactants]
lewis acid/ base
acids= accept e - low energy orbitall or polar bond to H - metal cations/ halogen acids/ 3 compounds/ transition metals base= donates e or pair of non bonding e - most contain O or N
dipole-dipole interaction
between polar molecules
dispersion forces
constantly changing electron distribution van der wall force
hydrogen bond
H- EN hydrophillic
ant-conformation
180 apart
gauche
60 apart 3.85 KJ more than anti - due to steric strain= atoms forced closer together
eclipsed
highest energy/ least stable 12 KJ more than gauche -torisonal strain -C-H = 4.0 KJ
ortho
2 substituents on adjacent carbons on a benzene ring
aromatic rings
assume all are planar 4n + 2 = pi electrons
weak acids
large Pka value OCH3 group contributes EN to ring= weak acid
heat of combustion
amount of heat released when a compound is burned in O2 higher the strain= higher the heat of combustion
specific rotation
SR= observed rotation/ pathlength x concentration
chiral
not superimposable mirror image no plane of symmetry
enantiomer
mirror images- not superimposable light cancels out
# of sterioisomers
1 chiral center= 2 2 chiral centers= 4 3 chiral centers= 6
meso compounds
2 chiral centers line of symmetry not optically active
racemic mixture
50:50 mixture of 2 enatiomers 0 optical rotation
racemic mixture
...
prochirality
if a molecule can be converted from achiral to chiral in single chemical step
exothermic
bonds formed are stronger than bonds broken releases energy to surroundings
degree of unsaturation
# of bonds/ rings a molecule has CnH2n+2 subtract 1 for every N ignore O
alkene
no free rotation around double bonds 350KJ to break
hygrogenation
larger heat of hydration= higher energy= less stable
hydrolysis
degradation of substance in water
dehydrohalogenation
alkyl halide + strong base (KOH)---- loss of HX-- forms alkene - elimination
dehydration
alcohol + strong acid (H2SO4)--- alkene
polar reaction
unsymmetrical bond breaking and forming - between compounds w/ even number of electrons - most common type of reaction - 1 element keeps the pair of electrons -heterolytic - electron rich sites react with electron poor sites
radical reactions
symmetrical bond breaking and making - 1 electron remains with each element - homlytic - take place in gas phase
Keq
equilibrium constant that shows the rate of products to reactants - [products] / [reactants] - K > 1= product concentration > reactant concentration - K = 1 = fair amount of both - K < 1 = reactant > product---- does not appear as written; in reverse
favorable reactions
exergonic: - favorable G= -RT ln Keq R= 8.314 T= kelvin
bond dissociation energy
measures heat needed to break a bond exothermic= bonds formed are stronger than bonds broken
stability of alkenes
cis alkenes are less stable than trans b/c of steric strain stability determined by: -cis trans equilibrium constants= product favored= more stable - hydrogenattion= treatment of alkene w/ H2 ---- more energy released= less stable - more subs on double bond= more stable= stronger sp2…
carbocation
planar increase with substitution
the hammond postulate
the transition state resembles reactants or products= which ever closer in energy to exergonic resembles reactants endergonic transition state resembles products
substitution vs elimation
major product: -sub= if leaving group is on primary -elimination= if leaving group is on tertairy Strong base: -OH Poor nuc: H2O or RHO 1= Sn2 favored 1= no reaction 2= mostly E2 2= Sn1/ E1 in polar protic solvents …
Sn2
rate depends on alkyl halide and leaving group single step= no intermediates attaches at opposite side favors: -small methyl/ primary molecules - vinylic and aryl halides are unreactive leaving group: F<Cl<Br<I < TosO aprotic solvents: CH3OH< H2O< DMSO<DMF<CH3CN< HMPA
nucleophile
electron rich negative nuc= neutral product neutral nuc= positive product nuc increases going down periodic table
Sn1
2 steps= intermdiate unimolecular produces racemic mixture polar protic solvents - -OH or -NH favors tertairy weak nucleophile= H2O RHO
E2
Strong base -tertiary/ secondary primary=sn2
Sn2
strong nucleophile/ base primary weak base- Cl primary/ secondary
