carbon Flashcards
strain that results from eclipsed bonds?
torsional strain
strain that results from atoms being too close together
van der Waals strain (steric strain
strain that results from distortion of bond angles from typical values
(dictated by orbital hybridisation)
angle strain
two examples of lipophilic interactions between aromatic rings in drug molecules and biological macromolecules.
Π-stacking and intercalation
Positive substituent hydrophobicity constant values imply what?
substituents are more hydrophobic than H
negative substituent hydrophobicity constant values imply what?
substituents are less hydrophobic than H
what do EWG substituents do to carboxylate anion and how does it affect its acidity?
stabilise the carboxylate anion
increases acidity
what Hammett substituent constant (σ) do EWG have?
positive ( σ ) or σ > 0
what Hammett substituent constant (σ) do EDG have?
negative ( σ ) or σ > 0
which electronic effects do EWG have?
Negative resonance or mesomeric effect (-M or -R) through π-bond and negative inductive effect (-I)
which electronic effects do EDG have?
positive resonance or mesomeric effect (-M or -R) through π-bond and positive inductive effect (-I)
