Isomerism Isomers - different compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas There are two type of Isomers: Constitutional isomerism: Different connections among atoms in the Skeleton Position Functional group Stereoisomerism:Same connectivity among atoms, but these atoms differ in spatial orientation geometric conformational optical
ConstitutionalIsomers Skeletal (Chp. 12) Functional (Chp. 14) Positional(Chp. 12) Stereoisomers Geometric (Chp. 13) Conformational (Chp.12) Enantiomers (Optical)(Chp. 16)
Constitutional isomers in butane Constitutional isomers: compounds with the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms in the skeleton. There are two constitutional isomers with molecular formula C4H10

Types of carbon atoms Carbon atoms in alkanes and other organic compounds are classified by the number of other carbons directly bonded to them.
Types of carbon atoms 1. Primary (1◦) Carbon connected to one carbon atoms. 2. Secondary (2◦) Carbon connected to two carbon atoms. 3. Tertiary (3◦) Carbon connected to three carbon atoms. 4. How many primary, secondary, and tertiary carbons in the two different structures of C4H10 Primary = Secondary = Tertiary = Primary = Secondary = Tertiary =
Identify the type of carbon atoms • in the following structure
Reactions of alkanes Combustion CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) Many alkanes are used this way - as fuels • Methane - natural gas • Propane - used in gas grills • Butane - lighters • Gasoline - mixture of many hydrocarbons,
Reactions of alkanes Halogenation • A reaction where a halogen replaces one or more hydrogens. CH4(g) + Cl2(g) CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g) Used to prepare many solvents • Dichloromethane, methylene chloride- paint stripper • Trichloromethane, Chloroform (CHCl3)- once used as anesthesia • 1,2-dichloroethane - dry cleaning fluid heat or light
4. Complete combustion reaction of following alkanes. a) CH4 b) C4H10 c) C5H12
Cycloalknes Cyclic alkanes: General molecular formula,CnH2n Structure and nomenclature • named similar to noncyclic alkanes • 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 • in planar cyclopentane, all C-C-C bond angles are 108°, which differ only slightly from the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°consequently there is little angle strain
Cycloalkanes :saturated hydrocarbons with a carbon ring Have C-C single bonds in a ring structure. General formula CnH2n cyclobutane cyclopropane
Naming Cycloalkanes Have the carbons connected in a ring. These compounds are known collectively as To name a cycloalkane, use the prefix cyclo- with the parent. If there is only one substituent, a number is not needed.
Cycloalkanes Cycloalkanes have molecular formula CnH2n and contain carbon atoms arranged in a ring. Simple cycloalkanes are named by adding the prefix cyclo- to the name of the acyclic alkane having the same number of carbons.
Ring strain in cycloalkane The stability of cycloalkanes depends on their ability to relieve ring strain when the bond angles are less than 109.5˚. Most stable Least stable
Naming branched cycloalkanes Commonly written as line-angle formulas examples:
IUPAC name of the following • substituted cycloakane
Cis and trans Geometrical isomers of Cycloalkanes • two groups are said to be located cis to each other if they lie on the same side of a plane. • If they are on opposite sides, their relative position is described as trans.
Disubstituted Cycloalkanes There are two different 1,2-dimethylcyclopentanes—one having two CH3 groups on the same side of the ring and one having them on opposite sides of the ring. A and B are isomers. Specifically, they are stereoisomers.
Haloalkanes An alkane in which one or more H atoms is replaced with a halogen (F, Cl, Br, or I) CH3Br 1-bromomethane Br (methyl bromide) CH3CH2CHCH3 2-bromobutane Cl chlorocyclobutane

Conformers of Alkanes • Structures resulting from the free rotation of a C-C single bond • May differ in energy. The lowest-energy conformer is most prevalent. • Molecules constantly rotate through all the possible conformations.
H H H H H Newman projection sawhorse H model Ethane Conformers Staggered conformer has lowest energy. Dihedral angle = 60 degrees Dihedral angle
=> Ethane Conformers (2) Eclipsed conformer has highest energy Dihedral angle = 0 degrees
=> Conformational Analysis • Torsional strain: resistance to rotation. • For ethane, only 12.6 kJ/mol eclipsed staggered
