Analyzing organic reaction Flashcards
Lewis Acid
Electron acceptor , electrophile and has a vacant P orbital where electrons can be accepted
Lewis Based
Electron Donor; nucleophile, have a lone pair of electrons that can be donated
Coordinate covalent bond
Acid base form this
In this both the electrons come from one of the atoms involved
Brownsted Lowry Acid
Donates a proton
Brownsted Lowry Base
Accepts a proton
Functional groups from weak acid to strong acid
Alkane, alkene, hydrogen (H-H), amine, alkyne, ester, ketonel/aldehyde, alcohol, water, carboxylic acid, hydronium ion
Bond strength decreases down the table so how does that relate to acidity?
lower bond strength = greater acidity
Higher electronegativity = what acidity
Higher electronegativity = higher acidity
What functional groups act as acids
Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and its derivitives
What functional groups act as bases?
Amines and amides
Nucleophile
Nucleus loving
Lone pars or pie bond that can form new bonds with electrophiles
Good bases CHON with negative sign
Nucleophilicity based on
- Charge: greater charge= better nu
- Electronegativity: greater E= lower Nu
- Steric hinderance: Larger = lower Nu
- Solvent: Protic solvent= lower Nu
Polar protic solvent
Nucleophilicity increases down the periodic table
I > Br> Cl> F
Aprotic Solvent
Nucleophilicity increases up the periodic table
F> Cl> Br> I
Strong acids
HClO4 HClO3 H2SO4 HI HBr HCl HNO3
