Lecture 4: newman, cyclos etc Flashcards
true or false: 2 groups bonded by a double bond can rotate around the bond and get difference conformations
false, but be single
what are conformations
different spacial arrangements of a molucle that are generate by rotation about single bonds
true or false, you can rotate around pie bonds
false, only sigma
explain the relationship between different conformations and their stability
diff conformations are possible but not all have the same energy (some are more stable than others)
=rotating changes the proximity of electrons to each other therefore affecting bond length and energy
explain staggered conformation
where the dihedral angle b/w bonds at each carbon are 180 degrees from each other and groups attached to c are as far away as possible
explain eclipsed formation
atoms bonded to carbons at each end of carbon bond are directly opposive to eeach other and dehidral angle is 0
what is the dihedral angle of staggered
18-
what is the dihderal angle of escliped
0
the H-C-C-H bonds are called what
dehidral
what is anti conforatkon
staggered with didegrealk angles of 18
what is gauche conformation
dihedral angle of 60 betweeen H-H
what conformation has lowest energy
staggered (anti)
what conformation has highest energy
ecliped (total)
explain why staggered anti is the most stable
because there is less steric interactions
we are putting the molecuels are far as possible therefore less e e repulsion/interaction
and hyperconjuation
what is hyperconjugation
favourable overal between filled and unfilled sigma orbitals in stagged conformation
=occurs ehn electrons in filld bonding orbitals move partially into unoccupied anto bonding portion
hyperconjugation is greatest in what configuration
staggered anti
the 2 orbitals are parallel
what is a steroisomer
same molecular formula and connectivity but different arrrangement of atoms in space
what is a constitutional isomer
same molecular formula but diff connectivity
what is a conformational isomer
related to one another by BOND rotation
true or false: cyclopronane doesnt have ring strain
false, it has alot
what is angle strain
deviation from ideal bond angled fue to inherent constraints (rings, size)
