Lecture 6 - Identification of common functional groups and drawing Flashcards

1
Q

What is wrong with this drawing?

A

Carbon has Sp3 hybridisation, with a bond angle of 109.5. This makes drawing does not represent that and makes the bond angle look 90 degrees.

16
Q

Draw an ether- diethylether. How is it formed?

A

reaction of two alcohols

17
Q

Draw a ketone. What is the hybridisation in the ketone?

A

sp2, trigonal planar.

18
Q

Draw a lactone- the delta lactone. Why is it called delta lactone?

A

Because the oxygen is bonded to the delta carbon.

19
Q

When does a carboxylate ion form? Draw the general reaction.

A

A carboxylic acid is deprotonated by the base to form a carboxylate ion

20
Q

Draw ethanethiol. Give a property of thiols

A

THEY STINK!

21
Q

Draw disulphide bridge

22
Q

Draw an amine. Describe their shape.

A

N is sp3 hybridised, so trigonal pyramidal with a lone pair available. Basic.

23
Q

Draw an amide. Why are their lone pairs not available?

A

N is sp2 hybridised. Mesomeric effect: lone pairs are not available, as they are smeared towards the carbonyl group. Not basic.

24
Q

Draw delta lactam.

25
Q

Draw a nitrile. Describe shape

A
  • linear because carbon is sp hybridised. Bond angle= 180
26
Q

draw alpha amino acid. Why is it alpha amino acid?

A

NH2 is bonded to the alpha carbon

27
Q

Draw beta amino acid.

28
Q

Draw B lactam

29

30
Q

What is the pKa of methane

31
Q

pKa of carboxylic acids

32
Q

pKa of phenol

33
Q

pKa of alcohols

34
Q

pKa of conj acid of amines

35
Q

pKa of conj acid of phenylamines
