sigma bonds
|
form through end-on-end overlap of hybrid orbitals
Ex: Sp3-Sp3 sigma bond, Sp3-Sp bond ( ie: ) 2 e- localized between 2 nuclei |
|
|
Pi Bonds
|
form through side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p orbitals
double bonds = 1 pi triple bonds= 2 pi |
2 e- localized to the region opposite sides of the plane
ie: proper, parallel |
|
Formula for degree of unsaturation
causes vs non-causes |
2C + 2 - H/2
causes: double bonds, rings. carbonyl compounds, triple bonds (2* saturation) NOT causes: alcohol, ether, amine groups |
|
|
Isomers
|
same molecular formula, different structures
|
|
|
Constitutional isomers
|
Different bond connectivity
|
|
|
Conformational isomers
|
Differ by rotation around a sigma bond
|
|
|
Stereoisomers
|
Same bond connectivity, different spatial arrangement of atoms.
|
|
|
Enantiomers (R/S)
(properties?) Optical Activity |
non-identical mirror images (chiral)
have SAME mp/bp,dipole moments and polarity |
Optical Activity: R/S is independent of this.
Right = + Left = - |
|
Meso
|
Contains chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry
ONLY 3 stereoisomers exist |
|
|
Diastereomers
(properties?) |
stereoisomers that are not enantiomers, what happens when you have 2+ sterocenters (one is kept constant and other(s) change)
Properties: different mp/bp, can be separated by distillation |
|
|
Racemic mixture
|
won't bend light, optical activity = 0. 50/50 mix of R/S
|
|
|
Geometric isomers
|
Diastereomers that differ in orientation of substituents around a ring or double bond.
E/Z, Cis/Trans |
|
|
Epimers
|
Diastereomers that differ in absolute configuration at only one chiral center
|
|
|
Anomers
|
Epimers that form as a result of ring closure.
|
|
|
MP/BP rules
|
how well identical molecules interact (attract) each other - interact with LD forces
1) increasing branching decreases 2) increasing mw increases |
|
|
Strong Acids
|
H2SO4, HNO3, HCL, HBR, HI
|
|
|
Rank of organic compound acidity
|
Strong acids> Sulfonic acids> Carboxylic acids> Phenols > Alcohols and Water > Carbonyls > sp > sp2 > sp3
|
|
|
Ring Strain
|
when bond angles of a ring atoms deviate from the ideal angle predicted by hybridization of atoms.
|
Examples
Cyclopropane: very strained, 60 degrees Cyclobutane: unstable, strained, 88 degrees Cyclopentane: low degree of strain (near 109) Cyclohexane: strain free! (near 109) |
