25
Q

isobutane (isolate the branch in butane)

A

the butane isomer with the branch

26
Q

in isomers, don’t add..

A

the extra carbon on the end. Only add it to carbons in the middle

27
Q

any isomer that begins with “iso” (isolated branch)

A

has one branch in the middle

28
Q

isomer that has a branch carbon on top and on bottom is called…

A

neo. ex- neo-pentane

29
Q

conformers are not

A

isomers

30
Q

can’t rotate conformation with carbons where there are..

A

double or triple bond. Visualize it and it will make sense. The bonds would wrap around each other.

31
Q

conformation

A

just the view of the hydrogens. if the H rotate around the C, seeing them and not seeing them are the 2 conformations.

32
Q

affects the property of the molecules (2 things)

A

isomer and conformation

33
Q

eclipse (conformation) and the degrees (eclipse at 3 - one 120 min)

A

when the hydrogens are covering each other. at 0, 120, 240 degrees, you can’t see them individually.

34
Q

staggered (conformation) and degrees (staggering after 3 a.m. - do a 180 now)

A

when the hydrogens are not covering each other. at about 60 degrees, 180, or 300 degrees.

35
Q

tetrahydral structure (meth tetris)

A

methane - just one C.

36
Q

dihedral structure (think di)

A

2 carbons (2 tetras)

37
Q

newman projection

A

a type of planar (not 3 dimensional) projection along one bond - the projected bond

38
Q

dihedral angle (di newman)

A

angle between hydrogens in newman projection

39
Q

the most stable conformer

A

staggered

40
Q

if asked to identify conformer on test…

A

ex. it would be straight chain of the same number of C, either zig zag, or straight across, etc.

41
Q

can be branched or unbranched

A

alkanes

42
Q

branches (or substituents) are called

A

alkyls

43
Q

if you remove just one hydrogen from an alkane, it becomes an

A

alkyl

44
Q

how to change the name for the branches?

A

methane becomes methyl - just change ending to hyl.

45
Q

CH3 (alkyl)

A

methyl

46
Q

CH3CH2 or C2H5 (alkyl)

A

ethyl

47
Q

CH3CH2CH2 (alkyl) or CH3CHCH3

A

propyl. If the H is removed from the middle carbon, it’s called isopropyl

48
Q

line groups for methyl and ethyl

A

methyl is like a straight line, ethyl is a little bent

49
Q

CH3CH2CH2CH2 (alkyl)

A

butyl

50
Q

line angle for isopropyl

A

Y-shaped

51
Q

if you remove a middle hydrogen in butane - CH3CHCH2CH3 it’s called…

A

secbutyl or s-butyl

52
Q

isobutyl (buty Y are you upside down)

A

in the shape of a cross, one on top, one on bottom and becomes isobutyl. The line structure is an upside down Y.

53
Q

tert-butyl (tert the bird)

A

the lone H on the bottom is removed, leaving a middle C attached to 3 other carbons. (bird foot)

54
Q

nomenclature - rule 1

A

1) longest chain and name it. if you have equal number going in 2 different directions, pick the option with more branches.

55
Q

nomenclature - rule 2

A

name all the side chains, alkyl groups

56
Q

nomenclature - rule 3

A

number the chain beginning with the end closest to the branches. IF both branches are the same distance from the end, name the alkyl group and go in alphabetical order.

57
Q

nomenclature - if you have 2 or more side chains that are the same (ie methyl)

A

then number it, and use the one with smaller numbers. ie. if it’s 3, 8, 10 or 3, 5, 10 - use the 3, 5, 10 one.

58
Q

nomenclature - rule 4

A

number to which the branch is attached separated by a hyphen. If there are 2 numbers following each other, use a comma between numbers.

59
Q

nomenclature - if there are several of the same alkyl group

A

use di, tri, tetra (these prefixes do not change the alphabetical order)

60
Q

with conformers, watch for…

A

the formulas that wrap around. Count the number of carbons like you’re naming it, and then check where any substituents are. It could be tricky.

61
Q

tert-butyl

A

butyl (substituent) attached to 4th carbon
