Exam 2 (Information) Flashcards
Double bonds separated by one single bond
Conjugated
p orbitals on 3 or more C,N, or O atoms in a row in the same plane
Conjugated
A compound containing two adjacent (next to) pi nonds
Cumulated
Double bonds are
Nucleophilic and attack the electrophil
The product that forms the fastest forms the most
Kinetic Control
Equilibrium is asserted and the most stable product predominates over time
Thermodynamic Control
A reaction for which the product distribution is determined by the relative rates at which the products are formed
Kinetic Control
A reaction for which the ratio of products is determined solely b the distribution of energy among the products
Thermodynamic Control
At low temperatures, only few molecules have energy greater than Ea (1,4) so most
1,2 products form
At high temperatures, first 1,2 product is formed, THEN
1,2 product reforms the intermediate and an equilibrium forms and some starts forming 1,4 product and is stuck there. As time passes, more 1,4 product forms and will predominate.
Mechanism-less Reaction
Pericyclic Reactions
Most common pericyclic reaction
Cycloaddition (Diels-Alder)
Pericyclic Reactions (3)
Cycloaddition (Diels-Alder), Electrocyclization, and Sigmatropic Rearrangement
A bond theory that treats a bond as the sharing of electrons that are associated individual atoms, rather than bing associated with the entire molecule
Valence Bond Theory (partial charges)
A description of bonding in terms of molecular orbitals, which are orbitals associated with an entire molecule rather than an individual atom
Molecular Orbital Theory (orbitals in and out of phase)
Orbitals in phase
Bond
Orbitals out of phase
Antibond or Repulsion
The analysis of a reaction using Molecular Orbit Theory, where only the frontier orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) are considered
Frontier Orbital Theory
The highest occupied molecular orbital
HOMO
The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital
LUMO
The highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital that participate in a reaction
Frontier orbitals
Dienes and dienophiles form no reaction when
only heat is present
[4+2] Cycloaddition
Diels Alder
hv changes
HOMO and LUMO
A compound that possesses chirality centers and an internal plane of symmetry
meso compound
A cis dienophile added to a cis diene
makes a meso compound
