  1. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 171 Section 201

  2. Alkanes and Cycloalkanes Chapter 2

  3. Structure • Hydrocarbon: a compound composed only of carbon and hydrogen • Saturated hydrocarbon:a hydrocarbon containing only single bonds • Alkane: a saturated hydrocarbon whose carbons are arranged in an open chain • Aliphatic hydrocarbon:another name for an alkane

  4. Hydrocarbons

  5. Functional Groups • Functional group: An atom or group of atoms within a molecule that shows a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties. • Functional groups are important for three reasons: 1. Allow us to divide compounds into classes. 2. Each group undergoes characteristic chemical reactions. 3. Provide the basis for naming compounds.

  6. Organic Molecules and Functional Groups Functional Groups: Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbons are compounds made up of only the elements carbon and hydrogen. They may be aliphatic or aromatic.

  7. Organic Molecules and Functional Groups Functional Groups: Heteroatoms

  8. Functional Groups: Carbonyl groups

  9. Alcohols • Contain an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom. • Ethanol may also be written as a condensed structural formula.

  10. Alcohols • Alcohols are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) depending on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon bearing the -OH group.

  11. Alcohols There are two alcohols with molecular formula C3H8O

  12. Amines • Contain an amino group; an sp3-hybridized nitrogen bonded to one, two, or three carbon atoms. • An amine may by 1°, 2°, or 3°.

  13. Aldehydes and Ketones • Contain a carbonyl (C=O) group.

  14. Carboxylic Acids • Contain a carboxyl (-COOH) group.

  15. Carboxylic Esters • Ester: A derivative of a carboxylic acid in which the carboxyl hydrogen is replaced by a carbon group.

  16. Carboxylic Amide • Carboxylic amide, commonly referred to as an amide: A derivative of a carboxylic acid in which the -OH of the -COOH group is replaced by an amine. • The six atoms of the amide functional group lie in a plane with bond angles of approximately 120°.

  17. Alkanes

  18. Structure • Shape • tetrahedral about carbon • all bond angles are approximately 109.5° • sp3 hybridization

  19. Drawing Alkanes • Line-angle formulas • an abbreviated way to draw structural formulas • each vertex and line ending represents a carbon

  20. Constitutional Isomerism • Constitutional isomers: compounds with the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms • example: C4H10

  21. Constitutional Isomerism • do these formulas represent constitutional isomers? • find the longest carbon chain • number each chain from the end nearest the first branch • compare chain lengths as well the identity and location of branches

  22. Constitutional Isomerism World population is about 6,000,000,000

  23. Nomenclature - IUPAC • Suffix -ane specifies an alkane • Prefix tells the number of carbon atoms

  24. Nomenclature - IUPAC • Parent name: the longest carbon chain • Substituent: a group bonded to the parent chain • alkyl group: a substituent derived by removal of a hydrogen from an alkane; given the symbol R-

  25. Nomenclature - IUPAC 1.The name of a saturated hydrocarbon with an unbranched chain consists of a prefix and suffix 2. The parent chain is the longest chain of carbon atoms 3. Each substituent is given a name and a number 4. If there is one substituent, number the chain from the end that gives it the lower number

  26. Nomenclature - IUPAC 5. If there are two or more identical substituents, number the chain from the end that gives the lower number to the substituent encountered first • indicate the number of times the substituent appears by a prefix di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. • use commas to separate position numbers

  27. Nomenclature - IUPAC 6. If there are two or more different substituents, • list them in alphabetical order • number from the end of the chain that gives the substituent encountered first the lower number

  28. Nomenclature - IUPAC 7. The prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. are not included in alphabetization • alphabetize the names of substituents first and then insert these prefixes

  29. Nomenclature - IUPAC • Alkyl groups

  30. Nomenclature - Common • The number of carbons in the alkane determines the name • all alkanes with four carbons are butanes, those with five carbons are pentanes, etc. • iso- indicates the chain terminates in -CH(CH3)2; neo- that it terminates in -C(CH3)3

  31. Classification of C & H • Primary (1°) C: a carbon bonded to one other carbon • 1° H: a hydrogen bonded to a 1° carbon • Secondary (2°) C: a carbon bonded to two other carbons • 2° H: a hydrogen bonded to a 2° carbon • Tertiary (3°) C: a carbon bonded to three other carbons • 3° H: a hydrogen bonded to a 3° carbon • Quaternary (4°) C: a carbon bonded to four other carbons

  32. Cycloalkanes • General formula CnH2n • five- and six-membered rings are the most common • Structure and nomenclature • to name, prefix the name of the corresponding open-chain alkane with cyclo-, and name each substituent on the ring • if only one substituent, no need to give it a number • if two substituents, number from the substituent of lower alphabetical order • if three or more substituents, number to give them the lowest set of numbers and then list substituents in alphabetical order

  33. Cycloalkanes • Line-angle drawings • each line represents a C-C bond • each vertex and line ending represents a C

  34. Cycloalkanes • Example: name these cycloalkanes

  35. Nature of Carbon-Carbon Bonds in the Parent Chain IUPAC - General • prefix-infix-suffix • prefix tells the number of carbon atoms in the parent • infix tells the nature of the carbon-carbon bonds • suffix tells the class of compound Suffix Class Infix -e hydrocarbon -an- all single bonds -ol alcohol -en- one or more double bonds -al aldehyde -yn- one or more triple bonds -amine amine -one ketone -oic acid carboxylic acid

  36. IUPAC - General prop-en-e = propene eth-an-ol = ethanol but-an-one = butanone but-an-al = butanal pent-an-oic acid = pentanoic acid cyclohex-an-ol = cyclohexanol eth-yn-e = ethyne eth-an-amine = ethanamine

  37. Conformations • Conformation: any three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule that results from rotation about a single bond • Newman projection: a way to view a molecule by looking along a carbon-carbon single bond

  38. Conformations • Staggered conformation:a conformation about a carbon-carbon single bond in which the atoms or groups on one carbon are as far apart as possible from the atoms or groups on an adjacent carbon

  39. Conformations • Eclipsed conformation: a conformation about a carbon-carbon single bond in which the atoms or groups of atoms on one carbon are as close as possible to the atoms or groups of atoms on an adjacent carbon

  40. Conformations • Torsional strain • also called eclipsed interaction strain • strain that arises when nonbonded atoms separated by three bonds are forced from a staggered conformation to an eclipsed conformation • the torsional strain between eclipsed and staggered ethane is approximately 12.6 kJ (3.0 kcal)/mol

  41. Conformations • Dihedral angle (Q): the angle created by two intersecting planes

  42. Conformations • Steric strain(nonbonded interaction strain): • the strain that arises when atoms separated by four or more bonds are forced closer to each other than their atomic (contact) radii will allow • Angle strain: • strain that arises when a bond angle is either compressed or expanded compared to its optimal value

  43. Cyclopropane • angle strain: the C-C-C bond angles are compressed from 109.5° to 60° • torsional strain: there are 6 sets of eclipsed hydrogen interactions • strain energy is about 116 kJ (27.7 kcal)/mol

  44. Cyclohexane • Chair conformation: the most stable puckered conformation of a cyclohexane ring • all bond C-C-C bond angles are 110.9° • all bonds on adjacent carbons are staggered

  45. Cyclohexane • In a chair conformation, six H are equatorial and six are axial

  46. Cyclohexane • For cyclohexane, there are two equivalent chair conformations • all C-H bonds equatorial in one chair are axial in the alternative chair, and vice versa

  47. Cyclohexane • Boat conformation: a puckered conformation of a cyclohexane ring in which carbons 1 and 4 are bent toward each other • there are four sets of eclipsed C-H interactions and one flagpole interaction • a boat conformation is less stable than a chair conformation by 27 kJ (6.5 kcal)/mol

  48. Cyclohexane • Twist-boat conformation • approximately 41.8 kJ (5.5 kcal)/mol less stable than a chair conformation • approximately 6.3 kJ (1.5 kcal)/mol more stable than a boat conformation

  49. Methylcyclohexane • Equatorial and axial methyl conformations

  50. Cis,Trans Isomerism • Stereoisomers: compounds that have • the same molecular formula • the same connectivity • a different orientation of their atoms in space • Cis,transisomers • stereoisomers that are the result of the presence of either a ring (this chapter) or a carbon-carbon double bond (Chapter 5)
