Is an immediate form of radiative decay for an excited electronic state as
the electron is going from an excited state to a ground state of the same
type (singlet to singlet, triplet to triplet) which is allowed by the selection
rules
Because of the non-radiative decay (production of heat to change
vibrational energy levels) often observed in this transition the photon
produced may not match the frequency of the photon absorbed
We are familiar with fluorescence in the vivid appearance of fluorescent
green and orange dyes (DayGlo colors) which absorb in the ultraviolet
region of the spectrum and fluoresce in the visible.

II. The Fate of Excited Molecule:
Physical processes
Fluorescence:
The sequence leading
to fluorescence:
After initial absorbtion of a
photon, the vibrational states of
the excited state undergo
radiationless decay by giving up
energy to their surroundings.
A radiative decay then occurs
from the lowest vibrational
energy level of the excited state
to the ground electronic
state.

Intersystem crossing
Because intersystem crossing is a forbidden process which occurs
with low intensity with low probability phosphorescence is a slow
process where photons may be emitted over a period of fractions of

Other Example: Light Sticks: Cyalume
Light sticks contains a thin glass vial that contains an alkaline (basic)
solution of hydrogen peroxide suspended in a solution of diphenyloxalate
and an organic dye.
When the inner vial is broken two successive nucleophilic substitution
reactions occur to form an unstable 4-membered ring.
This ring decomposes by a pathway that forms a excited triplet electronic
state on the oxygen of one of the two molecules of carbon dioxide
produced.
Normally, if this electron decayed to the ground state the photon released
would be in the UV region. In the presence of the dye, however,
photosensitization occurs (triplet to triplet).

Solubility in Water
Water has been referred to as the "universal solvent", and its widespread distribution on this planet
and essential role in life make it the benchmark for discussions of solubility. Water dissolves many
ionic salts thanks to its high dielectric constant and ability to solvate ions. The former reduces the
attraction between oppositely charged ions and the latter stabilizes the ions by binding to them and
delocalizing charge density.
when hexane or other nonpolar compounds are mixed with water, the strong association forces of
the water network exclude the nonpolar molecules, which must then exist in a separate phase.
This is shown in the following illustration, and since hexane is less dense than water, the hexane
phase floats on the water phase.

Alkane Reactions
The alkanes and cycloalkanes, with the exception of cyclopropane, are probably the least chemically
reactive class of organic compounds. Despite their relative inertness, alkanes undergo several important
reactions that are discussed in the following section.
1. Combustion
The combustion of carbon compounds, especially hydrocarbons, has been the most important
source of heat energy for human
Every covalent bond in the reactants has been broken and an entirely new set of covalent bonds
have formed in the products
CH3-CH2-CH3 + 5 O2 > 3 CO2 + 4 H2O + heat
Two points concerning this reaction are important:
1. Since all the covalent bonds in the reactant molecules are broken, the quantity of heat evolved
in this reaction is related to the strength of these bonds (and, of course, the strength of the bonds
formed in the products). Precise heats of combustion measurements can provide useful iinformation
about the structure of molecules.
2. The stoichiometry of the reactants is important. If insufficient oxygen is supplied some of the products
will consist of carbon monoxide, a highly toxic gas.
CH3-CH2-CH3 + 4 O2 > CO2 + 2 CO + 4 H2O + heat

The chief source of ring strain in smaller rings is angle strain and eclipsing strain. As noted elsewhere, cyclopropane
and cyclobutane have large contributions of both strains, with angle strain being especially severe.
410 DEDE KIM-UA
2. Halogenation
Halogenation is the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms in an organic compound by a halogen
(fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine).
Simple substitution reaction in which a C-H bond is broken and a new C-X bond is formed
CH4 + Cl2 + energy > CH3Cl + HCl
only two covalent bonds are broken (C-H & Cl-Cl) and two covalent bonds are formed (C-Cl & H-Cl), this reaction
seems to be an ideal case for mechanistic investigation and speculation
The relative amounts of the various products depend on the proportion of the two reactants used. In the case of
methane, a large excess of the hydrocarbon favors formation of methyl chloride as the chief product; whereas, an
excess of chlorine favors formation of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride.
CH4 + Cl2 + energy > CH3Cl + CH2Cl2 + CHCl3 + CCl4 + HCl
The following facts must be accomodated by any reasonable mechanism for the halogenation reaction.
1. The reactivity of the halogens decreases in the following order: F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2.
2. We shall confine our attention to chlorine and bromine, since fluorine is so explosively reactive it is difficult to
control, and iodine is generally unreactive.
3. Chlorinations and brominations are normally exothermic.
4. Energy input in the form of heat or light is necessary to initiate these halogenations.
5. If light is used to initiate halogenation, thousands of molecules react for each photon of light absorbed.
6. Halogenation reactions may be conducted in either the gaseous or liquid phase.
7. In gas phase chlorinations the presence of oxygen (a radical trap) inhibits the reaction.
8. In liquid phase halogenations radical initiators such as peroxides facilitate the reaction.
411 DEDE KIM-UA
The most plausible mechanism for halogenation is a chain reaction involving neutral intermediates such as free radicals
or atoms. The weakest covalent bond in the reactants is the halogen-halogen bond
(Cl-Cl = 58 kcal/mole;
Br-Br = 46 kcal/mole)
so the initiating step is the homolytic cleavage of this bond by heat or light, note that chlorine andbromine both absorb
visible light (they are colored).
. All the hydrogens in a complex alkane do not exhibit equal reactivity. For example, propane has eight hydrogens,
six of them being structurally equivalent primary, and the other two being secondary. If all these hydrogen atoms were
equally reactive, halogenation should give a 3:1 ratio of 1-halopropane to 2-halopropane mono-halogenated products,
reflecting the primary/secondary numbers. This is not what we observe. Light-induced gas phase chlorination at 25 C
gives 45% 1-chloropropane and 55% 2-chloropropane.
CH3-CH2-CH3 + Cl2 > 45% CH3-CH2-CH2Cl + 55% CH3-CHCl-CH3
The results of bromination ( light-induced at 25 C ) are even more suprising, with 2-bromopropane accounting for 97%
of the mono-bromo product.
CH3-CH2-CH3 + Br2 > 3% CH3-CH2-CH2Br + 97% CH3-CHBr-CH3
412 DEDE KIM-UA
These results suggest strongly that 2-hydrogens are inherently more reactive than 1-hydrogens, by a factor of about 3:1.
Further experiments showed that 3-hydrogens are even more reactive toward halogen atoms. Thus, light-induced chlorination
of 2-methylpropane gave predominantly (65%) 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, the substitution product of the sole 3-hydrogen,
despite the presence of nine 1-hydrogens in the molecule.
(CH3)3CH + Cl2 > 65% (CH3)3CCl + 35% (CH3)2CHCH2Cl
Producing radical
First Step: R3CH + X > R3C + H-X
Second Step: R3C + X2 > R3CX + X
. In the case of carbon-hydrogen bonds, there are significant differences, and the specific dissociation energies
(energy required to break a bond homolytically) for various kinds of C-H bonds have been measured
R (in RH) methyl ethyl i-propyl t-butyl phenyl benzyl allyl vinyl
Bond Dissociation Energy
(kcal/mole)
103 98 95 93 110 85 88 112
The difference in C-H bond dissociation energy reported for primary (1), secondary (2) and tertiary (3) sites agrees with
the halogenation observations reported above, in that we would expect weaker bonds to be broken more easily than are
strong bonds. By this reasoning we would expect benzylic and allylic sites to be exceptionally reactive in free radical
halogenation, as experiments have shown. The methyl group of toluene, C6H5CH3, is readily chlorinated or brominated in
the presence of free radical initiators (usually peroxides), and ethylbenzene is similarly chlorinated at the benzylic location
exclusively. The hydrogens bonded to the aromatic ring (referred to as phenyl hydrogens above) have relatively high bond
dissociation energies and are not substituted.

Free Radical Reactions of Alkenes
1. Addition of Radicals to Alkenes
Protons and other electrophiles are not the only reactive species that initiate addition reactions to carbon-carbon
double bonds
Further study showed that an alternative radical chain-reaction, initiated by peroxides, was responsible for the
anti-Markovnikov product. This is shown by the following equations.
The weak OO bond of a peroxide initiator is broken homolytically by thermal or hight energy

C6H5CH2CH3 + Cl2 > C6H5CHClCH3 + HCl
Since carbon-carbon double bonds add chlorine and bromine rapidly in liquid phase solutions, free radical substitution reactions
of alkenes by these halogens must be carried out in the gas phase, or by other halogenating reagents. One such reagent is
N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), shown in the second equation below. By using NBS as a brominating agent, allylic brominations
are readily achieved in the liquid phase.
The covalent bond homolyses that define the bond dissociation energies listed above may are described by the general equation:
R3C-H + energy > R3C + H
416 DEDE KIM-UA
that alkyl radical stability increases in the order: phenyl < primary (1) < secondary (2) < tertiary (3) < allyl benzyl.
Because alkyl radicals are important intermediates in many reactions, this stability relationship will prove to be very useful in
future discussions. The enhanced stability of allyl and benzyl radicals may be attributed to resonance stabilization
The poor stability of phenyl radicals, C6H5, may in turn be attributed to the different hybridization state of the carbon
bearing the unpaired electron (sp2 vs. sp3).

417 DEDE KIM-UA
4. Hydrogenation
Addition of hydrogen to a carbon-carbon double bond is called hydrogenation.
hydrogenation reaction is exothermic, a high activation energy prevents it from taking place under normal conditions.
This restriction may be circumvented by the use of a catalyst, as shown in the following diagram.
Catalysts act by lowering the activation energy of reactions, but they do not change the relative potential energy
of the reactants and products. Finely divided metals, such as platinum, palladium and nickel, are among the most
widely used hydrogenation catalysts. Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in at least two stages, as depicted in the
diagram. First, the alkene must be adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst along with some of the hydrogen.
Next, two hydrogens shift from the metal surface to the carbons of the double bond, and the resulting saturated
hydrocarbon, which is more weakly adsorbed, leaves the catalyst surface. The exact nature and timing of the last
events is not well understood

From the mechanism shown here we would expect the addition of hydrogen to occur with syn-stereoselectivity. This is often
true, but the hydrogenation catalysts may also cause isomerization of the double bond prior to hydrogen addition, in which
case stereoselectivity may be uncertain.
A non-catalytic procedure for the syn-addition of hydrogen makes use of the unstable compound diimide, N2H2. This
reagent mustbe freshly generated in the reaction system, usually by oxidation of hydrazine, and the strongly exothermic
reaction is favored by the elimination of nitrogen gas (a very stable compound). Diimide may exist as cis-trans isomers; only
the cis-isomer serves as a reducing agent. Examples of alkene reductions by both procedures are shown on the right.

Dihydroxylated products (glycols) are obtained by reaction with aqueous potassium permanganate (pH > 8)

420 DEDE KIM-UA
(ii) Epoxidation
oxidation reactions of alkenes give cyclic ethers in which both carbons of a double bond become bonded to the same
oxygen atom. These products are called epoxides or oxiranes. An important method for preparing epoxides is by reaction
with peracids, RCO
been classified as reductions or oxidations, depending on the change in oxidation state of the functional carbons.
It is important to remember that whenever an atom or group is reduced, some other atom or group is oxidized, and
a balanced equation must balance the electron gain in the reduced species with the electron loss in the oxidized
moiety, as well as numbers and kinds of atoms
421 DEDE KIM-UA
The previous few reactions have been classified as reductions or oxidations, depending on the change in oxidation
state of the functional carbons
422 DEDE KIM-UA
The Variables of Organic Reactions
In an effort to understand how and why reactions of functional groups take place in the way they do, chemists try to discover
just how different molecules and ions interact with each other as they come together. To this end, it is important to consider
the various properties and characteristics of a reaction that may be observed and/or measured as the reaction
proceeds .
1. Reactants and Reagents
A. Reactant Structure:
Variations in the structure of the reactant may have a marked influence on the course of a reaction, even though the
functional group is unchanged. Thus, reaction of 1-bromopropane with sodium cyanide proceeds smoothly to yield
butanenitrile, whereas 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane fails to give any product and is recovered unchanged. In contrast,
both alkyl bromides form Grignard reagents (RMgBr) on reaction with magnesium.
B. Reagent Characteristics: Apparently minor changes in a reagent may lead to a significant change in the course of a reaction.
For example, 2-bromopropane gives a substitution reaction with sodium methylthiolate but undergoes predominant elimination on treatment
with sodium methoxide.
423 DEDE KIM-UA
2. Product Selectivity
A. Regioselectivity: It is often the case that addition and elimination reactions may, in principle, proceed to more than one
product. Thus 1-butene might add HBr to give either 1-bromobutane or 2-bromobutane, depending on which carbon of the
double bond receives the hydrogen and which the bromine. If one possible product out of two or more is formed preferentially,
the reaction is said to be regioselective.
B. Stereoselectivity: If the reaction products are such that stereoisomers may be formed, a reaction that yields one
stereoisomer preferentially is said to be stereoselective. In the addition of bromine to cyclohexene, for example, cis and
trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane are both possible products of the addition. Since the trans-isomer is the only isolated product,
this reaction is stereoselective
C. Stereospecificity: This term is applied to cases in which stereoisomeric reactants behave differently in a given reaction.
424 DEDE KIM-UA
(i) Formation of different stereoisomeric products, as in the reaction of enantiomeric 2-bromobutane isomers with sodium methylthiolate,
shown in the following diagram.
Here, the (R)-reactant gives the configurationally inverted (S)-product, and (S)-reactant produces (R)-product.
(ii) Different rates of reaction, as in the base-induced eleimination of cis & trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl bromide
425 DEDE KIM-UA
Chemical reactions involve breaking and making some (or even all) of the bonds that hold together the atoms
of reactant and product molecules. Energy is required to break bonds, and since the strengths of different
kinds of bonds differ, there is often a significant overall energy change in the course of a reaction. In the
combustion of methane, for example, all six bonds in the reactant molecules are broken, and six new bonds
are formed in the product molecules (equation 1).
Reaction Energetics
The sum of the product bond strengths in this case is greater than the sum of reactant bond strengths;
Reactants Products
426 DEDE KIM-UA
the products are energetically (or thermodynamically) more stable than the reactants, and energy is released in the form
of heat. Such reactions are called exothermic It is helpful to think of exothermic reactions as proceeding from a higher
energy (less stable) reactant state to a lower energy (more stable) product state
Photosynthesis (equation 2) is an important example of an endothermic process. Energy in the form of
photons (sunlight) drives the reaction, which requires chlorophyll as a catalyst

The Bohr Hydrogen Atom
What is it about an atom that allows it to absorb or
emit radiation at only specific wavelengths? Do the
wavelengths tell us anything about the structure of
the atoms?
Niels Bohr suggested that emitted or absorbed
radiation corresponds to changes in the orbits of
electrons about the nucleus. Moreover, the electrons
can not orbit at any distance from the nucleus, but
exist only in specific allowed orbits.
To explain the allowed orbits, Bohr postulated that
electrons had both wave and particle properties.
The allowed orbits were those for which a
wavelength fit perfectly inside the orbit, just as only
certain wavelengths are allowed on a vibrating string.
Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was a
Danish Physicist. His model for
the hydrogen atom was the
beginning of quantum theory.
Atomic Structure
432 DEDE KIM-UA
Atomic Structure
According to Bohr, an atom arranges
its electrons into discrete orbits.
These orbits have discrete energy
levels that are specific to the
element.
For hydrogen, the energy of level n
is: E
n
= -10.97 h c /(n
2
)
When a transition is made between
two levels, a photon is emitted with
an energy equal to the change in the
energy of the two levels: E = h c/
The atom loses energy and that
energy goes into the emitted photon.
Energy is conserved.

Ionic Bonds
Atoms with one electron in the
outer shell, and atoms with
one electron missing are, on
the other hand, highly
reactive. These atoms form
ionic bonds. The alkali gives
up an electron. The halogen
takes the electron. Elements
are bonded by the electric
force between the ions.

Metallic Bonds
Atoms in a metals also
give up electrons,
however the electrons
are not transferred to
the other atom.
Instead, the electrons
are shared by all the
atoms.
The sea of electrons
allow current to flow
through metal. Metals
thus make good
conductors.
In sodium, for example, 1 out of the 11 electrons is
released so that Na has two filled shells. The extra
electrons move around the metal in a sea of negative
charge. This negatively charged sea moves around a
regular structure of positive Na ions.
445 DEDE KIM-UA
Covalent Bonds
Certain molecules are formed by sharing
electrons. The covalent bond that forms
resembles metallic bonds in that electrons are
shared. Yet, like ionic bonds the electrons are
shared in discrete shells of the atoms and dont
run willy nilly throughout the material.
The main constituents of our atmosphere are
covalently bonded molecules.

The intermediate enolate ion, a resonance hybrid of two forms, can be
protonated either on carbon to generate the starting keto tautomer
or on oxygen to give an enol tautomer

17.6 Dehydration of Aldol
Products
|-Hydroxy aldehydes or ketones formed in aldol
reactions can be easily dehydrated to yield a,b-
unsaturated products, or conjugated enones
Aldol reactions were named condensation reactions
due to the loss of water
Dehydration of Aldol Products
Aldol products dehydrate easily because of carbonyl group
Under basic conditions, an acidic o hydrogen is removed,
yielding an enolate ion that expels the OH leaving group in an
E1cB reaction
Under acidic conditions an enol is formed, the OH group is
protonated, and water is expelled in an E1 or E2 reaction
Dehydration of Aldol Products
Reaction condition needed for aldol dehydration are often
only slightly more vigorous than conditions for aldol
formation
Conjugated enones are often obtained directly from aldol
reactions without isolating the intermediate |-hydroxy carbonyl

Physical Properties of Alkanes
Non-polar molecules, which are less dense than water.
Alkanes are immiscible with water making two layers.
Van-der Waals or dipole-dipole attractive forces, and not H-bonding
(as in polar molecules) are the main intermolecular forces
Alkanes show regular increases in bpt and mpt as molecular weight
increases down the homolgous series
These weak intermolecular forces operate over small distances, arising
because the electron distribution within molecules at any given
instance is not uniform. Resulting in tiny electrical attractions between
molecules.
These temporary dipoles hold alkanes as liquids or solids,
and must be overcome in order to vaporize a liquid or melt a
solid (wax)

The C-Cl bond in the halogenoalkane starts to lengthen and
weaken
The chloride ion is eventually detached from the carbon atom
and a flat carbocation forms. This is the rate determining step.
The hydroxide ion could attack from the left-hand side, lead
ing to inversion of the configuration of the carbon skeleton; or
attack could come from the right, leading to retention of con
figuration.
* The use of a chiral halogenoalkane in this reaction leads
to production of a racemic mixture if the amount of attack from
each side is equal. The hindrance caused by the departing
cloride ion gives about 40% attack from the right and 60% from
the left, however.
607 DEDE KIM-UA
The general form of the S
N
1 mechanism is as follows:
Because the mechanism goes through a carbocation, the leaving group must be attached to either
a tertiary or secondary carbon to stabilize the intermediate. A methyl or primary leaving group will
not form a carbocation
. Since it goes through a carbocation intermediate, there are possibilities for alkyl and hydrogen
rearrangements(HINT: In mechanism problems if you see a change in the carbon skeleton
between the reactant and the product, automatically
suspect a carbocation intermediate (ie, E1, Sn1) stabilized by an alkyl or hydrogen rearangement). .
An example ofthe Sn1 Mechanism
608 DEDE KIM-UA
Base Strength: Base strength is unimportant, since the base is not involved in the rate determining
step (the formation of the carbocation). .
Leaving groups: A good leaving group is required, such as a halide or a tosylate, since the leaving
group is involved in the rate-determining step.
Notes: Be wary of rearangements that can occur with the S
N
1 reaction. Because it goes through a carbocation
intermediate, both hydrogen shifts and alkyl shifts can occur!

Three sp
2
hybrid orbitals arrange themselves as far apart as possible -
which is at 120 to each other in a plane. The remaining p orbital is at
right angles to them.
Each carbon atom uses the sp
2
hybrids to form sigma bonds with two other carbons and one hydrogen atom.
Each carbon atom uses the sp
2
hybrids to form o-bonds with two other
carbons and one hydrogen atom.
This extensive sideways overlap produces a system of t-bonds which are
spread out over the whole carbon ring. Because the electrons are no longer
held between just two carbon atoms, but are spread over the whole ring, the
electrons are said to be delocalised.

Methanol and Ethanol are classed as Polar Molecules (Hydrophilic)
They are Infinitely Soluble in Water
Why? Answer Hydrogen Bonding
H-bonds weaker than covalent bonds, although these bonds can be
continually broken and reformed a highly ordered structure

Safety goggles and gloves must be worn when handling bromine. The experiment
should be performed under a laboratory fume.
Preparation:
Saturated solution of maleic acid: 94.8 g of maleic acid dissolved in 120 mL of
dist. H2O
Saturated bromine water: 3.5 g of bromine in 100 mL of dist. H2O
Flask A and B: 40 mL of aqueous maleic acid solution are mixed with 10 mL of
saturated bromine water.
Flask C: 40 mL of aqueous maleic acid solution are diluted with 10 mL of dist.
H2O.
The volumetric flask A is covered by a black paperboard cylinder. The solutions B
and C are simultaneously exposed to the light of a 500 watt day light bulb until a
precipitate is formed in flask B.
After the light is turned off the paperboard cylinder is removed.
704 DEDE KIM-UA
Light initiates the reaction by generating bromine atoms (free radicals)
from bromine molecules. (1).
The bromine radical is added to maleic acid. In the addition compound
the partial single bond character allows rotation around the central CC
bond (2).
After rotation around the CC-bond and the elimination of the bromine
radical fumaric acid is formed (3).
