18.1 What makes Carbon special Organic chemistry : chemistry of Carbon + H, O, N, etc….. Chemistry of carbon is rich and diverse, as many compounds can form…… More than 90% of all the registered compounds in CA (>26 million) are organic compounds Organic chemistry is the basis of Life Science & modern material science Organic chemistry chemistry of organic compounds Organic compound : substances produced by living matter --- prior to 1828 Inorganic compound : substances obtained from mineral In 1828, Woehler made an organic compound from an inorganic salt
18.1 What makes Carbon special Carbon provides versatility and stability in making molecules.
18.1 What makes Carbon special Carbon provides versatility and stability in making molecules. Unlimited number of combination is possible with stable C-C, C-H bond formation. compounds Comparison with neighboring elements B : boron Rarely forms B-B bond, does not form multiple bond N : nitrogen N-N bond is exceptionally weak H2NNH2, HN=N=N are only known compounds Si : silicon Si-Si bond is weak, Si is readily oxidized to Si-O elastic silicones oil, grease, rubber siloxanes
18.2 Building Blocks of Organic Chemistry: The Hydrocarbons Organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon Forms structures; so called backbone, skeleton Satruated hydrocarbon : all bonds are single bonds CnH2n+2 “Alkane” paraffin # of structures --- isomers
Example : C5H12 Pentane : b.p. 36oC Isopentane : b.p. 28oC Neopentane : b.p. 9.5oC
Newman projection for H3C-CH3 more stable (3Kcal/mol) Stereochemistry Conformational isomers (conformers)
Satruated hydrocarbon : Ring structures CnH2n Usually unstable when it’s small Associate with strain energy Cyclic Compounds Most stable cyclic compound Most strained reactive
Unsatruated hydrocarbon : Alkenes, Alkynes p bonds are more reactive than s bonds Requires 60Kcal/mol p- bonding Trans isomer is more stable Due to steric effect ***Can be halogenated by the addition of X2

Pasteur separated two kinds of tartaric acid crystals with different shapes, which corresponded to their mirror images. of • Beginning of Stereochemistry • Basics of Carbohydrates (탄수화물) B C E E C C asymmetric carbon A D A B mirror images an atom that has all four different groups attached to it. asymmetric carbon: Asymmetric carbon is a chiral center. ‘chiral’ means ‘handed’ . Right handed, left handed.

The optical rotation is proportional to the sample conc. and length.
Asymmetric carbon atom chiral molecules (a pair of enantiomers) • “not superimposable’ • Each of the enantiomers causes equal optical rotation in the opposite direction • Racemic mixture: 1:1 mixture of enantiomers • Amino acids in nature : only the L form • Diastereometers: optical isomers of a given compound which are not • mirror images and which are not identical are known • as diastereomers. Assignment of optical isomers (+,-) according to the direction of optical rotation (D,L) according to an arbitrary assignment of one as ‘D” (R,S) clockwise or counterclockwise priority is given by the attached atomic numbers (A: highest, E: lowest). B C E E C C A D A B R S
Note that optical isomers of a given compound which are not mirror images and which are not identical are known as diastereomers. (a) = (b) an optical isomer that does not result in optical rotation (a) (b) (c) and (d) are the opposite optical isomers, which exhibit same optical rotations in the opposite directions (c) (d) • and (c): enantiomers to each other • (a) and (d): diastereomers to each other *Diastereomers exhibit different physical. *Enantiomers exhibit same physical properties except for the optical rotation. *Students: please use the definition of diastereomers which is given in this page and the previous page. The definition in our textbook is not clear.

18.4 Benzene and Its derivatives: The Aromatics delocalized p bonding ( see chap. 7 p229) Much less reactive than other unsaturated bonds ---- aromaticity When there are fully delocalized (2n+4)p electrons on the same plane
Benzene is very stable due to its aromaticity. H can be substituted by Br. Bz + Br2 PhBr + HBr This is a sort of electrophilic substitution involving a bromonium ion species (Br+). H can be substituted by an alkyl group (Friedel-Craft alkylation).
18.5 Orbitals in Organic Reactions: The Diels-Alder Reaction Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction (a pericyclic reaction) between diene and dieneophile Electrons do not flow sequentially by arrows. It is a concerted cyclization. p electrons are involved
Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction diene dieneophile Both are plausible in this Figure. In both case, (4n + 2)p is allowed according to the Woodward-Hoffman rule. The rule emphasizes the requirement of phase match between HOMO of diene and LUMO of ene, that is FMO’s. *cis product is obtained from a cis dieneophile.
