The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
Regardless of size!
![Page 2: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Carbon-hydrogen backbones can stand alone…
![Page 3: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
…or they can combine with other elements like O,N,S,Cl,Br,F, etc…
![Page 4: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
… and each combination will have distinct physi-chemical properties.
Solubility (polar? Nonpolar?) Reactivity (pi bonds? Steric
hindrance? Etc..) Stable in acids? Bases? Reactive
with…? Electronegative-electropositive
regions:

Chapter 2: AlkanesCH21 – 11.19.13 , R.D. Bolinas
![Page 6: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We call them: ALKANES
The simplest of all are the pure hydrocarbons with nothing but non-polar C-C, and C-H single bonds.
![Page 7: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Alkanes are all C-C and C-H. Alkanes are purely singly bonded species all C’s are sp3 having the maximum carbon-to-hydrogen
ratio, THUS CALLING IT SATURATED CnH2n+2 = basic formula Highly nonpolar, trends in properties
related to: chain length, and “branching”
![Page 8: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The C-C and C-H ‘lego’ can combine in many ways forming isomers
CONSTITUTIONAL ISOMERS = same constituents (e.g. no. of
carbons, hydrogens, etc.) but just different bonds.
![Page 9: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We follow basic conventions to name and label them…
For straight chains: (n- means normal) (1) Meth < (2) Eth < (3) Prop < (4) But < penta… + ‘ane’ = (methane, n-butane…)
![Page 10: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We can replace –ane with –yl to indicate it being only a side group…
![Page 11: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And for the trickier cases with branching, we still follow standard rules.
![Page 12: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

And some non-systematic names are to be memorized…
![Page 16: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

To simplify representation, we also have conventions for drawing them.
![Page 18: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We also have drawing conventions to show a more 3-D approach…
![Page 19: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One important facet of a C-C single bond is that it can freely rotate…
The head-on σ-bonds are symmetrical and are the same regardless of rotational alignment
We simply need to have enough energy to overcome the torsional strain RESISTANCE TO BOND TWISTING leading to eclipsed bonds
![Page 20: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
One important facet of a C-C single bond is that it can freely rotate…
In one sense, we can account for this with energy costs of having bulky groups electron shells repel one another
![Page 21: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Using our projections, we can analyze the probability of a 3-D form.
![Page 22: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

We draw the zig-zag form simply because ALL adjacent bonds are ANTI-STAGGERED!
MOST STABLE = MOST PROBABLE
![Page 26: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Alkanes can also exist in rings called cycloalkanes.
Note: This limits the amount of rotational freedom usual C-C single bonds have!!
General Formula: (CH2)n
![Page 27: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
They similarly follow a systematic naming scheme…

Try naming this!

Now, because of carbon’s sp3 hybridization, we don’t quite have a perfectly flat shape!
The 109.5° angle of a tetrahedral sp3 carbon will have to “compromise” somewhere near the angle of the polygon.
![Page 32: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Now, because of carbon’s sp3 hybridization, we don’t quite have a perfectly flat shape!
We need to fight ANGLE STRAIN the strain due to the expansion or
contraction of bond angles

The solution: 3D structures (if possible)

We have another kind of isomer- stereoisomers: different 3D orientations Remember that our carbons are all
sp3 and so they still retain more or less their 3D tetrahedral shape,
but unlike open chains, rotation is next to impossible.
WE HAVE RELATIVE FIXED POSITIONS.
![Page 37: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Cyclohexane is one of the most important cyclic systems we study…
It has 2 main configurations: the more stable CHAIR FORM and also a BOAT FORM
ANTI-STAGGERED
CHAIR form = has a backrest and a footrest, like a massage chair

More details on the CHAIR CONFORMATION. We have bonds along the AXIS
(axial) We also have bonds spreading out of
the EQUATOR (equatorial)axial
equatorial

Stereochemistry for chair cyclohexane systems… 1. We need to notify “UP” and
“DOWN” positions for each substituent per carbon.
2. Opposite names (UP-DOWN) means trans-
up

Since C-C bonds can rotate, we have a system that can ‘flip’.
![Page 43: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Steric strain and charge repulsions affect its conformation.
Groups along the axial positions can block and repel each other (steric strain)
![Page 44: The chemical reactivity of organic molecules come from their FUNCTIONAL GROUPS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568164dc550346895dd736da/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Steric strain and charge repulsions affect its conformation.
By flipping, we can move them to the equatorial position where they point outwards from each other.
MORE FAVORED Bulkier groups along equatorial
