Organic Chemistry #2 Flashcards
difference of sigma bond to pi bond
sigma bond is head to head overlapping while pi bond is lateral overlapping (side to side)
why is pi bond weaker
due to zero electron density or NODE
two important orbitals in organic compounds
s and p orbitals
s and p orbitals have what shape
s - spherical
p - dumbbell
group of atoms responsible for the compound’s physical and chemical properties
functional group
functional group under hydrocarbons
alkane alkene alkynes aromatic alkyl halide
functional groups under nitrogen containing aliphatic compound
amides amines nitriles isocyanate nitrosamine
functional groups under sulfur containing
thiol
thioether: sandwich si sulfur
functional groups under carboxylic acid and derivatives
carboxylic acid (sat. monocarboxylic)
acid halides
acid anhydride
ester: acid + alcohol
addition of atoms to substrate where double bonds break
addition
elimination of atoms from the substrate to form double bond
elimination
combination of 2 molecules with elimination of smaller molecules like water
condensation
replacement of one atom from substrate to another
substitution
increase in bonding with oxygen while decrease in bonding with hydrogen
oxidation
decrease bonding with oxygen while increase in bonding with hydrogen
reduction
state some oxidizing agents
bayers reagent
jones reagent
strong acids such as H2SO4 & HNO3
state some reducing agents
wolff-kishner (NH2NH2 in KOH)
clemmensen reagent (Zn/Hg in HCl)
H2 with AlBH4 and NaBH4
alkane general formula
CnH2n+2
alkene genera formula
CnH2n
alkyne general formula
CnH2n-2
why does linear alkanes have higher bp and mp than branched and cyclo alkanes?
due to its increased van der waals force of attraction (more electrons)
hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen air through heat to produce CO2 and H2O
combustion
hydrocarbons break into smaller molecules through heat
pyrolysis or pyrolytic cracking
halogen as catalyst is added through UV light to produce alkyl halides
halogenation
where bonded groups can exist in different orientation in space
geometric isomerism
cis-
bonded group on the same side
trans-
bonded group on opposite sides
which is more stable, cis or trans alkenes?
transalkenes
which has a higher boiling point, cis or trans alkenes?
cisalkenes
addition of H atom in double bonds to form alkane which requires one mole of H2 in nickel, palladium or platinum
hydrogenation
oxidative test which determines the presence of unsaturation
bayer’s test
oxidation cleavage to give carbonyl compounds, done through O3 (zone), zinc and acid as catalysts
ozonolysis
unsymmetrical reagent added to unsymmetrical double bond (meaning mayroong more and less substituted)
markovnikov addition
where does the electrophile and neutrophile attach to the unsymmetrical double bond in markovnikov?
electrophile attaches to the less substituted
neucleophile attaches to the more substituted since it gives stable CATIONS
