Q

newtons third law

(ask Marc why and what causes them to accelerate then) - is it less mass?

A

every action has an equal and opposite force- even if its moving, static or accelerating. Partner forces are always equal!

Q

normative social influence vs informational social influence

A

part of Ash experiments
- normative is when we alter out behaviour to fir in with those around us and informational social influence is when we doubt ourselves and believe others to be ore informed than us

Q

retro-aldol

A

is the reverse of aldol reaction - here a bond is broken beteen the alpha and beta carbon- yeilding either 2 aldehydes, 2ketones or 1 of each

  • to figure out what it yeilds- look at subs on the carbonyl carbon and the B carbon
  • if there is an H bond to either = aldehyde

25
imine
contains C=N, like a carbonyl but with an N
26
how do imines form
ammonia (Nu) attacks aldehyde or ketone, water leaves, producing imine (condenstation rxn) and (nu subsitution) - need acid to protonate the OH --> water to leve
27
enamines
so imine is a C=N-R and then thought tautomerization emanine is RHN-C=C (a hydrogen shifts to the N and double bond moves)
28
aldol condenstation
first strong base deprotonates the a hydrogen and enolate is formed, enolate than attacks carbonylcarbon on another keto/aldehyde species and an aldol is formed in the next step the aldol is dehydrated, the OH is removed aas water - for step 2 to happen: strong base and high temp bcstong base is neede to deprotonate the alpha (middle) hydrogen when this happens a double bond forms here and OH is kicked off - combines with H to make water
29
how can we push retro-aldol rxn?
need aqueous base and heat
30
how to produce aldehydes and ketones
oxidation of primary (aldehyde) and secondary (ketones) alcolols
31
PCC
used to synth an aldehyde, this is a weaker oxidizing agent, need to use this so the reaction will stop at aldehyde and not continue to CA
32
what oxidizing agents can you use to get a ketone from secondary alcohol?
any of the bc this is the most oxidized product (secondary acohol- wont break the c-c bond)
33
secondary alohol with oxidizing agent=
ketone
34
primary alcohol with PCC
aldyhyde
35
primary alcolo with Na2Cr2O7
CA
36
Nu attack to carbonyl
one of the most important rxn on MCAT when this happens, c=o dissapears and o gets the extra electrons ( now ask can the carbonyl reform?), the only way it can is if there is a good leaving group - if not (aldyhydes and ketons) = alcohol - CA and derivatives, have a good leaving group and so carbonyl reforms and leavig group gets kicked off- subsitution
37
if water is nu for aldehyde
nu addition, a geminal diol forms ( 2 OH)
38
if one alcholo equivalent attacks
nu addition, hemiacetal forms (OH and OR)
39
if 2 alcohol equivalents
nu addition, acetal forms (SN1 rxn) and acid (SN1- unimolecular, depends only on the concentration od electrophile- how much leavig group leaves) carbocation forms
40
why is acid needed for formation of acetal?
bc the OH in the hemiacetal needs to get protonated by acid, so that is a good leaving group (SN1 so it leaves before getting attacked by second alcohol equivalent)
41
acetals and ketones are
inert and so good protcting groups
42
when ammonia is the Nu on an aldehyde or ketone
imine NH3+ (Nu) attacks, NH3+- CRR-OH, then hydride shift - so a H moves from theN to the OH --> to create water which than leaves - here, there is no hydroxy group left on- not a simple nu addition, this is a nu subsitution and condensation rxn
43
nu addition vs nu subsitution
addition is when the Nu is added, sub is when it displaces
44
carboxylic acid suffix
-oic acid
45
if carboxylic is a salt the suffix is
-oate
46
synth od CA
oxdation of alcohol
47
when a NU attacks a CA
nucliphilic subsitution bc the OH can get protonated and act as a good leaving group
48
whats an amide
a CA derivitive where the Oh is replaced with NHR | `
49
how are amides made
CA + NH3 or another amine ( in either basic or acidic)
50
resonance of amides
double bond can go between the C=N or the C=O - this stabalizes the bond and restricts motion
51
what are lactams?
amides that are cyclic- replace oic acid with lactam
52
requirment for ester formation? why?
Nu subsitution (OR for OH) CA + alcohol ( usually primary) ---> needs to be in acid bc the carboyl OH gets protonated - this pulls even more electrons from the carbon making it even more electrophilic, OH attackes- now 3 OH ' attached, one leaves as water
53
cyclic esters are called? | cyclic amided are called?
``` esters= lactones amides= lactams ```
54
lactone vs lactam
lactone- ester | lactam- amide
55
anhydrides are formed how?
condesation of 2 CA
56
CA reduced to?
primary alcohols - bc nucleophilic addition of hydrides
57
decarboxylation is
complete loss of carboxyl group as CO2 happens with 1,3- dicarboxylic acids and other B-keto acids
58
how does decarboxylation happen
1) sometimes spontanouesly with heat this reaction is unique bc the electrophile and the nucleophile are in the same molecule !!! there is a six member transistion intermediate
59
saponification
when long chain CA react with sodium or potassium hydroxide, a salt is formed- this is saponification this happens when FA are mixed with lye resulting in a salt that is known as SOAP!! soap is just a CA salt !!
60
is water of an alcohol a better acid
water
61
acidity trend
generally bond strength decreases down the periodic table therfore acidity increases and more elctroneg, more acdic
62
nucleophilic trends
- more negative charge more nu - don't want electroneg (bc then it would hold electrons tight) so less electroneg better nu - less steric hindrance better nu - protic solvents ( CA, alcohol, water, amonia- anything that can hydrogen bond) could inhibit nu
63
amide vs imine
amide is CA derivative with NR2, imine is C=N in spot of a carboxyl group
64
sufflix for esters
oic acid is replaced with oate ethyl ethanoate - the first word is whats attachced to the ester
65
how are anhydrides made?
condensation of two CA (OH on one is NU and attacks carbonyl on other)
66
reactivity of CA derivatives towards Nu attack
anhydrides are most reactive ( 3 electron withdrawing groups) so make for a very electrophilic carbon, then esers, CA and then amide ( amides have an electron donating group so less reacitve)
67
induction refers to
tug or war of electrons across sigma bonds- generatig a dipole, whereas resonance with atoms that have an unhybridized p-orbital - can delocalize pi electrons through resonance - electron clouds
68
which lactams/ lactones are more sensitive to hydrolysis?
the ones that have ring strain - 4 ring (B-lactams) is way more reactive then g-lactam - due to torsional and eclipsing strain
69
can all CA derivatives participate in Nu acyl substitutions
yes, at different rates ( depending on electrophilicity- anhydride most, ester, CA, amide)
70
Nucleophillic subsitutuion reaction: ammonia + annhydride
here the ammonia attacks the carbonyl carbon, and a carboxylic acid is a leaving group --> yield an amide + CA
71
Nucleophilic acyl substitution: alcohol + anhydride
alcohol is the Nu, attacks the carbonyl carbon--> yield an ester and a CA
72
how can we break apart an anhydride into its 2 CA
with water
73
what is transesterification
when an alcohol replaces another alcohol in an ester
74
how can amides be hydrolyzed
under highly acidic conditions via Nu substation or under highly basic conditions (here OH- is a strong base and can attack) - we need the acidic conditions bc we ned the carbonyl oxygen to be protonated, making the molecule more susceptible to Nu attack (this is bc amides are the lease reactive to Nu substitutions), here water can cacts as a Nu and yeild a CA and ammonia
75
L or D amino acids in our body
L ---> which means that NH2 is on the left
76
L amino acids have R or S configuration?
all have S except for cysteine which is R bc of higher priority of sulfur
77
hydrolysis of a peptide bond with
strong acid or base
78
synth of amino acids
Sketcher synth ( aldehyde, NH4Cl, KCN) - last step needs acid or Gabreil synthesis
79
breifly describe sketcher synth
oxygen on aldyhede is protonated, imine is formed then CN- attacks so we get a compund with both an amino and a nitrile (triple bond) group called an aminonitrile next nitrile group is protonates and then water attacks, hydroxyl group now added, another water attacks and a carboonyl is formed, kicking of ammonia and creating a CA
80
the starting material of sketcher synth is ______ therfore the product mixture is ______
planar, racemic - bc the incoming Nu can attack from either side of the carbonyl thus L and D amino acids are formed
81
sketcher synth yeilds L or D amino acids
both- racemic mixture bc starting material is planar
82
Gabriel (malonic-ester) synth
in this methos potassium phthalimide is reacted with diethyyl bromomalonate in an SN2 reaction ( bc secondary carbon with good leaving group Br) - the bulkiness of the Nu- makes sure that multiple reaction dont occur
83
does gabriel produce L or D amino acids
racemic mixture just like sketcher synth
84
if an acid is needed for a reaction is it considered a reactant?
NO
85
pyrophosphate
PPi ( this is released when a new nucleotide is added to a growing DNA strand) - it is an acid anhydride
86
ATP, GTP and other nucleotides are considered
organic bc bound to a carbon
