  1. Organic Chemistry - Organic Reactions

  2. Organic Reactions • We described hydrocarbons and looked at their • structural isomers • We reviewed how to name hydrocarbons and compounds • containing functional groups We’re now going to focus on a several kinds of Organic reactions

  3. OrganicReaction Types • There are in fact so many types of organic rxn’s • It would be impossible to review them all. • Therefore we’re going to focus on just a few: • Substitution - Elimination • Addition - Esterification • - Fermentation - Saponification • - Polymerization (Condensation & Addition)

  4. Substitution Reactions • Any reaction in which one atom is replaced by another • Used to place a halogen onto an alkane • The products always are a halocarbon and the acid of the halogen (ex: hydrobromic acid) • Needs ultraviolet light to initiate the reaction • Provides the high energy needed to form the excited state

  5. Substitution Rxns What is the products formed in the following rxn? CH3CH3 + Br2 sunlight CH3 CH2Br + HBr (Why sunlight?)

  6. Elimination Rxns • Any reaction in which atoms are eliminated from another molecule • This can be done by • Elimination of H2 • Elimination of HX • Elimination of H20

  7. Elimination Reactions • Loss of H2 • - This process is often referred to as Dehydrogenation H H H-C-C-H  H2C=CH2 + H2 H H Heat, catalyst This type of rxn takes place in industry in what is know as a catalytic cracking unit

  8. H H H-C-C-H  H2C=CH2 + HX H X Base (ex KOH) Elimination Rxns • Loss of HX • Alkyl halides can also undergo elimination. This is as • known as dehydrohalogenation The base extract a proton (H+) and X- leaves

  9. H H H-C-C-H  H2C=CH2 + H2O H OH Acid, heat Elimination Rxns • Loss of H2O • Alcohols can undergo elimination via the loss of water. • This is known as dehydration a) The acid protonates the –OH group, water leaves Positive carbon remains behind b) An adjacent proton (H+) leaves next leaving the electron pair to form the double bond

  10. Addition • Takes place with unsaturated compounds which are usually more reactive that saturated compounds • Takes place with both Double and Triple bonds • Two atoms are added across the electron rich bond • What can be added? • X2 • H2 • H2O • HX

  11. Addition • Addition of halogen • Normally occurs dissolved in a solvent such as CCl4 • Alkenes form dihaloalkanes • Alkynes produce dihaloalkenes or tetrahaloalkanes 1,2-dichloroethane

  12. H2C=CH2 + H2  H H H-C-C-H H H Heat, catalyst Addition • Addition of Hydrogen • Catalysts normally used such at Pt, Pd or Ni • Known as Hydrogenation • Alkene becomes an alkane • Alkyne becomes and alkene or alkane

  13. Addition • Addition of Water • Occurs in the presence of acid (H+) • Known as Hydration • Alkene becomes an alcohol • Alkynes do not produce alcohols this way! (produces ketone or aldehyde)

  14. H H H-C-C-H H X H X H-C-C-H H X H2C=CH2 + HX  H-C-C-H H X HC=CH + HX  + HX Addition • Addition of Hydrogen Halides (HX) • HX = HCl, HBr, HI (Not HF) • Alkene becomes an alkyl Halide • Alkynes form Monohalo alkenes or dihaloalkanes with the halogens on the same carbon

  15. Esterification • Alcohol + Organic Acid = Water + Ester • Used to make perfumes, scents and flavors • Combination reaction which involves dehydration. • The alcohol becomes the alkyl group and the acid becomes -oate Methyl propanoate

  16. HO C=O H-O-C-CH3 O OH HO C=O O-C-CH3 O Aspirin – Made by Esterification +  Acetic acid Salicylic Acid (An alcohol and acid) Acetyl Salicylic Acid (Common Name) “Aspirin”

  17. Fermentation is the process by which glucose is broken down by an enzyme (a catalyst) in the absence of oxygen into an alcohol and carbon dioxide One enzyme used is Zymase (Found in baker yeast) If Zymase is used the alcohol produced is ethanol The oldest chemical reaction practiced by man In place of glucose, starches from grains can be used. Hence the name grain alcohol C6H12O6  2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Glucose Ethanol Carbon dioxide Fermentation Zymase

  18. Another very old chemical reaction practiced by man The hydrolysis of the ester bonds (back to acid + alcohol) in triglycerides using an aqueous sol’n of a strong base to form carboxylate salts and glycerol Hydrolysis of fats by a strong base (KOH or NaOH) Products are soap and glycerol (a triol) O CH2-0-C-(CH2)14CH3 | O CH2-O-C-(CH2)14CH3 | O CH2-0-C-(CH2)14CH3 Saponification O CH2-0H K+ -O-C-(CH2)14CH3 | O CH2-OH K+ -O-C-(CH2)14CH3 | O CH2-0H K+ -O-C-(CH2)14CH3 + 3KOH  + A TRIGYCERIDE GLYCEROL 3 SOAP MOLECULES

  19. Polymers The joining together of many smaller repeating Units to form a very high MW molecule - Polymers range from 10,000 amu to more than 1,000,000 amu The small repeating units used to build the polymer are known as monomers

  20. a b a b a b a a a a a a a a Monomers Sometimes just one monomer is used to make the Polymer (example: ethylene (a) to form polyethylene) And sometimes several monomers are used (example: adipic acid (a) and 1,6-diaminohexane (b) to form nylon)

  21. Polymerization There are two methods we’ll quickly look at for Forming Polymers. - Addition polymerization - Condensation polymerization

  22. Addition Polymerization • All the atoms present in the monomer are • retained in the polymer • This type of reaction involves monomers with • double or triple bonds • An initiator is required to produce a free radical • A very reactive substance having a free e- • Peroxides are typically used to produce this free radical Peroxide  Rad

  23. Rad Rad Free radical induced addition polymerization of Ethylene to form polyethylene

  24. Free radical induced addition polymerization of Propylene to form polypropylene

  25. Free radical induced addition polymerization of Styrene to form polystyrene

  26. The codes tell you what kind of material the polymer is made of

  27. Condensation Polymerization • Monomers that join together by the loss of water • each monomer has two functional groups that are • the same • monomer 1 and monomer 2 functional groups • are different • reaction occurs between the two pairs of • dissimilar functional groups Let’s look at some examples …

  28. Condensation Polymerization - Dacron

  29. Condensation Polymerization - Nylon

  30. Adipic acid monomer 1,6-diaminohexane monomer

  31. We’re Done! You Made it to the End!
