Ikatan kovalen
Molekul terjadi adalah berupa ikatan atom dengan atom yang berasal
dari penggabungan elektron dari masing-masing atom.
Ikatan kovalen hampir mirip dengan ikatan metalik yang merupakan
penggabungan elektron.
Pada senyawa organik maka ikatan kovalen adalah ikatan yang
terbentuk dari 2 elektron dari masing-masing atom.

A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of
valence shell atomic orbitals. For second period elements such as carbon,
nitrogen and oxygen, these orbitals have been designated 2
s

The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown

If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be
able to form two bonds.
Molecular Orbital
15 DEDE KIM-UA
In order to explain the structure of methane (CH
4
), the 2s and three 2p orbitals must be converted
to four equivalent hybrid atomic orbitals,each having 25% s and 75% p character, and designated sp
3
.
These hybrid orbitals have a specific orientation, and the four are naturally oriented in a tetrahedral fashion.

Hybrid Orbitals
16 DEDE KIM-UA
s-orbitals have a spherical symmetry surrounding a single nucleus,
-orbitals have a cylindrical symmetry and encompass two (or more) nuclei.
In the case of bonds between second period elements, p-orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals
having p-orbital character are used toform molecular orbitals.
For example, the sigma molecular orbital that serves to bond two fluorine atoms together is
generated y the overlap of p-orbitals (part A below), and two sp3 hybrid orbitals of carbon
may combine to give a similar sigma orbital. When these bonding orbitals are occupied by a
pair of electrons a covalent bond, the sigma bond
17 DEDE KIM-UA
. The hydrogen molecule provides a simple example of MO formation.
In the following diagram, two 1s atomic orbitals combine to give a sigma
() bonding (low energy) molecular orbital and a second higher energy
MO referred to as an antibonding orbital. The bonding MO is occupied
by two electrons of opposite spin, the result being a covalent bond.
18 DEDE KIM-UA
the orbital may be formed from two p-orbitals by a lateral overlap, as shown in
part A of the following diagram.Since bonds consisting of occupied -orbitals (pi-
bonds) are weaker than sigma bonds, pi-bonding between two atoms occurs only
when a sigma bond has already been established.
Thus, pi-bonding is generally found only as a component of double and triple
covalent bonds.
Since carbon atoms involved
in double bonds have only
three bonding partners, they
require only three hybrid
orbitalsto contribute to three
sigma bonds. A mixing of the
2s-orbital with two of the 2p
orbitals gives
three sp
2
hybrid orbitals,
leaving one of the p-orbitals
unused. Two sp
2
hybridized
carbon atoms are then joined
together by
sigma and pi-bonds (a double
bond), as shown in part B.
19 DEDE KIM-UA
A Chime model of the p and orbitals of a double bond may be examined by .
The p-orbitals in this model are represented by red and blue colored spheres,
which represent different phases, defined by the mathematical wave equations
for such orbitals.
Finally, in the case of carbon atoms with only two bonding partners only two
hybrid orbitals are needed for the sigma bonds, and these sp hybrid orbitals
are directed 180 from each other. Two p-orbitals remain unused on each sp
hybridized atom, and these overlap to give two pi-bonds following the formation
of a sigma bond (a triple bond), as shown below.

Electronegativity differences may be transmitted through connecting covalent bonds by an inductive
effect. Replacing one of the hydrogens of water by a more electronegative atom increases the acidity
of the remaining OH bond. Thus hydrogen peroxide, HOOH, is ten thousand times more acidic
than water, and hypochlorous acid, ClOH is one hundred million times more acidic. This inductive
transfer of polarity tapers off as the number of transmitting bonds increases, and the presence of more
than one highly electronegative atom has a cumulative effect. For example, trifluoro ethanol, CF3CH2

Bond Energy

Since reactions of organic compounds involve the making
and breaking of bonds, the strength
of bonds, or their resistance to breaking, becomes an
important consideration. For example, the
chlorination of methane, discussed previously, was induced
by breaking a relatively weak Cl-Cl
covalent bond.
Bond energy is the energy required to break a covalent
bond homolytically (into neutral fragments).
Bond energies are commonly given in units of kcal/mol or
kJ/mol, and are generally called bond
dissociation energies when given for specific bonds, or
average bond energies when summarized
for a given type of bond over many kinds of compounds

How to draw them?
Use the handout guidelines:
1) Add up all the valence electrons.
2) Count up the total number of
electrons to make all atoms happy.
3) Subtract; then Divide by 2
4) Tells you how many bonds to draw
5) Fill in the rest of the valence
electrons to fill atoms up.

valence electrons, wants 8

electrons, wants 2 (x3)

Examples

C - has 4 valence electrons, wants 8
H - has 1 valence electron, wants 2
HCN

has 5+4+1 = 10
HCN

wants 8+8+2 = 18
(18-10)/2= 4 bonds

multiple bonds - not to H however

Molecular Orbitals are...
The model for covalent bonding
assumes the orbitals are those of
the individual atoms = atomic orbital
Orbitals that apply to the overall
molecule, due to atomic orbital
overlap are the molecular orbitals
A bonding orbital is a molecular
orbital that can be occupied by
two electrons of a covalent bond
56 DEDE KIM-UA
Molecular Orbitals - definitions
Sigma bond- when two atomic
orbitals combine to form the
molecular orbital that is
symmetrical along the axis
connecting the nuclei
Pi bond- the bonding electrons are
likely to be found above and below
the bond axis (weaker than sigma)
Note pictures on the next slide
57 DEDE KIM-UA
- Pages 230 and 231
Sigma bond is symmetrical along the axis
between the two nuclei.
Pi bond is
above and
below the bond
axis, and is
weaker than
sigma
58 DEDE KIM-UA
Bond Dissociation Energies
Bond dissociation energy is the total energy
required to break the bond between two
covalently bonded atoms.
A typical carbon-carbon single bond has a
bond dissociation energy of 347 kJ. The
ability of carbon to form strong bonds helps
to explain its stability.
They are unreactive partly because the
dissociation energy of these bonds is high.

Bond Polarity
Covalent bonding means shared
electrons
but, do they share equally?
Electrons are pulled, as in a tug-of-
war, between the atoms nuclei
In equal sharing (such as
diatomic molecules), the bond
that results is called a nonpolar
covalent bond
89 DEDE KIM-UA
When two different atoms bond
covalently, there is an unequal
sharing
the more electronegative atom will
have a stronger attraction, and will
acquire a slightly negative charge
called a polar covalent bond, or
simply polar bond.

Attractions Between Molecules
There are several kinds of molecular
attractions.
The weakest attractions are
collectively called van der Waals
forces, which are named after the
chemist who discovered them,
Johannes van der Waals.
Van der Waals forces consist of two
types: dispersion forces and dipole
interactions.
119 DEDE KIM-UA
Van der Waals Forces
Dispersion forces are the weakest of all
molecular interactions and they are
caused by the motion of electrons.
The strength of dispersion forces increases as
the of electrons increases
Dipole interactions occur when polar
molecules are attracted to one another.
The slightly negative region of a polar
molecule is attracted to the slightly positive
region of another polar molecule.
Similar but much weaker than ionic bonds
120 DEDE KIM-UA
Hydrogen Bonds
Hydrogen bonds are
attractive forces in
which a hydrogen
covalently bonded
to a very
electronegative
atom is also weakly
bonded to an
unshared electron
pair of another
electronegative
atom.

121 DEDE KIM-UA
Hydrogen Bonds
Usually the electronegative atom is
oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, which has a
partial negative charge. The hydrogen then
has the partial positive charge.
Hydrogen bonding is usually stronger than
normal dipole forces between molecules.
Because oxygen has two lone pairs, two
different hydrogen bonds can be made to
each oxygen.

Despite having two polar covalent bonds, carbon dioxide is
non-polar. The reason for this is the molecule's linear geometry:
The electrons are pulled in equal but opposite directions,

Hyperconjugation
Hyperconjugation in organic chemistry is the stabilizing interaction that results
from the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an
adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital or antibonding orbital or
filled orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of
the system. Only electrons in bonds that are to the positively charged carbon
can stabilize a carbocation by hyperconjugation
138 DEDE KIM-UA
The stabilisation arises because the orbital interaction leads to the electrons being
in a lower energy orbital


Let's consider how a methyl group is involved in hyperconjugation with a
carbocation centre.
First we need to draw it to show the C-H o-bonds.
Note that the empty p orbital associated with the positive charge at the
carbocation centre is in the same plane (i.e. coplanar) with one of the C-H o-
bonds (shown in blue.)
This geometry means the electrons in the o-bond can be stabilised by an
interaction with the empty p-orbital of the carbocation centre.
(this diagram shows the similarity with resonance and the structure on the
right has the "double bond - no bond" character)
139 DEDE KIM-UA
Hyperconjugation has an effect on several chemical properties

.
Bond length: Hyperconjugation is suggested as a key factor in shortening of sigma bonds (
bonds) in such systems. For example, the single C-C bonds in 1,3-butadiene and
methylacetylene are approximately 1.46 angstrom in length, much less than the value (1.54
angstrom) found in saturated hydrocarbons. This is due mainly to hyperconjugation that gives
partial double-bond character of the bond.

Dipole moments: The large increase in dipole moment of 1,1,1-trichloroethane as compared
with chloroform can be attributed to hyperconjugated structures.

140 DEDE KIM-UA

The C-C bond adjacent to the cation is free to
rotate, and as it does so, the three C-H bonds of
the methyl group in turn undergoes the stabilization
interaction. The more adjacent C-H bonds are, the
larger hyperconjugation stabilization is.

Assignment of a cis or trans prefix to any of these isomers can only be done in an
arbitrary manner, so a more rigorous method is needed.
* based on a set of group priority rules,
assigns a Z (German, zusammen for together) is equivalent to cis or
E (German, entgegen for opposite) is equivalent to trans
to designate the stereoisomers Z and E.




The Sequence Rule for Assignment of Alkene Configurations

Assign priorities to double bond substituents by looking at the atoms attached directly
to the double bond carbons.
The higher the atomic number of the immediate substituent atom, the higher the priority.
For example,
H < C < N < O < Cl. (priority increases left to right)

(Different isotopes of the same element are assigned a priority according to their atomic mass.)

If two substituents have the same immediate substituent atom, move to the next atom (away
from the double bond) until a difference is found.
For example, CH3 < C2H5 < ClCH2 < BrCH2 < CH3O.

A carbocation (pronounced "carbo-cat-ion") is an ion with a positively-charged
carbon atom.( carbonium ion )
The charged carbon atom in a carbocation has only six electrons in its outer
valence shell instead of the eight valence electrons that ensures maximum stability
(octet rule).
The carbon cation is unstable and very reactive, seeking to fill its octet of valence
electrons as well as regain its neutral charge.
Order of stability of examples of
tertiary ( III ), secondary ( II ), and primary ( I ),
alkyl
An alkyl group is a group such as methyl,
CH3, or ethyl, CH3CH2. These are groups
containing chains of carbon atoms which
may be branched. Alkyl groups are given
the general symbol R.

197 DEDE KIM-UA

Some examples of primary carbocations include:

Notice that it doesn't matter how complicated the attached alkyl group is. All you are
doing is counting the number of bonds from the positive carbon to other carbon atoms.
In all the above cases there is only one such link.
Using the symbol R for an alkyl group, a primary carbocation would be written as in the
box.
Primary carbocations
In a primary (1) carbocation, the carbon which carries the positive charge is only
attached to one other alkyl group.
198 DEDE KIM-UA
Secondary carbocations
In a secondary (2) carbocation, the carbon with the positive charge is attached
to two other alkyl groups, which may be the same or different.

Examples:
A secondary carbocation has the general formula shown in the box. R and R' represent
alkyl groups which may be the same or different.
199 DEDE KIM-UA
A tertiary carbocation has the general formula shown in the box. R, R' and R" are alkyl
groups and may be the same or different.

Tertiary carbocations

In a tertiary (3) carbocation, the positive carbon atom is attached to three alkyl groups,
which may be any combination of same or different.
200 DEDE KIM-UA
Structure:

Alkyl carbocations are sp
2

hybridised, planar
systems at the cationic C
centre.
The p-orbital that is not
utilised in the hybrids is
empty and is often shown
bearing the positive
charge since it represents
the orbital available to
accept electrons.
201 DEDE KIM-UA
The stability of the various carbocations

The "electron pushing effect" of alkyl groups
You are probably familiar with the idea that bromine is more electronegative
than hydrogen, so that in a H-Br bond the electrons are held closer to the
bromine than the hydrogen. A bromine atom attached to a carbon atom would
have precisely the same effect - the electrons being pulled towards the bromine
end of the bond. The bromine has a negative inductive effect.
Alkyl groups do precisely the opposite and, rather than draw electrons towards
themselves, tend to "push" electrons away
This means that the alkyl group becomes slightly positive (+) and the carbon they are
attached to becomes slightly negative ( -). The alkyl group has a positive inductive effect.
This is sometimes shown as, for example:

The arrow shows the electrons being "pushed" away from the CH
3
group. The plus sign
on the left-hand end of it shows that the CH
3
group is becoming positive. The
symbols + and - simply reinforce that idea.
202 DEDE KIM-UA
The importance of spreading charge around in making ions stable

The general rule-of-thumb is that if a charge is very localised (all concentrated on one atom)
the ion is much less stable than if the charge is spread out over several atoms.
Applying that to carbocations of various sorts . . .

You will see that the electron pushing effect of the CH
3
group is placing more and more
negative charge on the positive carbon as you go from primary to secondary to tertiary
carbocations. The effect of this, of course, is to cut down that positive charge.
At the same time, the region around the various CH
3
groups is becoming
somewhat positive. The net effect, then, is that the positive charge is being
spread out over more and more atoms as you go from primary to secondary to
tertiary ions.
The more you can spread the charge around, the more stable the ion becomes.

Order of stability of carbocations: primary < secondary < tertiary


203 DEDE KIM-UA
The stability of the carbocations in terms of energetics

When we talk about secondary carbocations being more stable than primary ones, what
exactly do we mean? We are actually talking about energetic stability - secondary
carbocations are lower down an energy "ladder" than primary ones.
This means that it is going to take more energy to make a primary carbocation than a
secondary one.
If there is a choice between making a secondary ion or a primary one, it will be much
easier to make the secondary one.
Similarly, if there is a choice between making a tertiary ion or a secondary one, it will be
easier to make the tertiary one.
204 DEDE KIM-UA
Stability:


The general stability order of simple alkyl carbocations is: (most stable) 3
o
> 2
o
> 1
o
>
methyl (least stable)

This is because alkyl groups are weakly electron donating due to hyperconjugation and
inductive effects. Resonance effects can further stabilize carbocations when present.

Crossed aldol condensation:
If you react two aldehydes or ketones together in an
aldol condensation, you will get four products. However, if
one of the reactants doesnt have any alpha hydrogens it can be
condensed with another compound that does have alpha
hydrogens to give only one organic product in a crossed
aldol.

277 DEDE KIM-UA
Overall:
step 1) malonyl CoA and acetyl CoA transfer the acetyl and
malonate to the carrier enzyme (CE) and acyl carrier
protein (ACP) respectively.
step 2) enolate carbanion from malonate (ACP) nucleophilic
acyl substitution on the acetyl (CE) followed by
decarboxylation.
step 3) reduction of the ketone to a hydrocarbon.
step 4) transfer of the carboxylate from CE ACP to CE.
step 5) malonyl CoA transfers malonate to the carrier enzyme.
step 6) enolate from malonateetc.
278 DEDE KIM-UA
Biological synthesis of fatty acids is analogous to the
malonate synthesis of carboxylic acids.
The enolate carbanion from malonate acts as a
nucleophile in a nucleophilic substitution on the acetyl-
CE followed by decarboxylation.
Each series puts the three carbon malonate on the ACP
and then decarboxylates the substitution product
resulting in lengthening the carbon chain by two
carbons at a time.
Naturally occuring fatty acids are even numbered
carboxylic acids.

Organic Photochemistry

Luminol Light as a product



Experimental Objectives
We have used spectroscopy to study the structure of organic compounds. In most
cases the spectroscopic process of irradiation of an organic molecule, followed by
absorption and reemission causes no permanent change in the molecule.
In organic photochemistry, we will be studying the effects of photons (of sufficient
energy) that do cause permanent chemical change in the molecule or photons that
are created by a chemical process. Here electromagnetic radiation (light) will be
studied as both a product of a chemical process.

Organic Photochemistry
I. Introduction
1. In most chemical reactions molecules are in their ground electronic
states.
2. In photochemical reactions one or more of the reacting molecules are
promoted by absorption of light (visible to UV) to an electronically
excited state Light as a chemical reagent





3. In some photochemical processes a molecule is formed which is
already in an electronically excited state. When this molecule returns
to its ground state, light is produced. Light as a chemical product

A. Excited States and the Ground State
1. Electrons can move from the ground state to an excited state if energy is
supplied, in a photochemical reaction this energy is in the form of light
2. The energy difference between electronic energy levels is quantized, so
only light of discrete frequencies will cause a transition to occur.
E = hv (h = Plancks constant, v = frequency))













3. The frequencies of light that correspond to the energy difference
between electronic energy levels in covalent bonds fall in the visible to
ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
4. Functional groups that contain bonds that undergo a given absorption
are called chromophores

electron to the excited state
300 DEDE KIM-UA
B. Singlet and Triplet States
1. In most organic molecules all electrons in the ground state are paired with
each member of the pair possessing an opposite spin (Pauli principle)
2. If one of the electrons is promoted to another orbital of higher energy, the
promoted electron is no longer constrained by the Pauli principle and may
posses either a parallel or opposite spin to its former partner
3. If a molecule contains two unpaired electrons of the same (or parallel) spin
is called a triplet
4. If a molecule contains two unpaired electrons of opposite spins it is called
a singlet

301 DEDE KIM-UA
B. Singlet and Triplet States
5. In principle there is a triplet state for every corresponding singlet state

6. By Hunds rules the excited triplet state should be lower in energy than the
corresponding excited singlet state (it costs more energy to pair an
electron than place it in a new orbital)

7. It would seem then, that the promotion of a given electron from the ground
state could result in either an excited triplet state or excited singlet state,
just a different amount of energy is required

8. This is not the case because these transitions may be forbidden by the
rules of quantum mechanics.

9. These restrictions are known as selection rules:
Spin-forbidden transitions: transitions where a electron changes its
direction of spin are forbidden. To change spin involves a change in
angular momentum.
Therefore singlet-triplet and triplet-singlet transitions are forbidden and
singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet transitions are allowed
Forbidden in this case indicates highly improbable.
These transitions do occur, slowly and with low intensity.
The difference in rate between an allowed transition and a forbidden
one lead to the difference between many photochemical processes.

302 DEDE KIM-UA
C. Types of Excitation
1. When an electron on an organic molecule is promoted it usually goes from
the highest occupied molecular orbital

2. (HOMO) into the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)

3. The four possible electronic excitations that are possible (in order of
increasing energy):

1. o o*
2. n o* (n denotes an electron from a lone pair)
3. t t*
4. n t*

* Denotes an excited state

1. In cases where the bond undergoing transition is the only one between the
atoms involved; the transition causes bond breakage

304 DEDE KIM-UA
If the double bond is conjugated, delocalization (resonance) causes the
electrons within the conjugated system to be lower in energy.

Likewise, the difference in energy between t and t* is also reduced.
Therefore the t t* transition occurs with light of longer and longer
wavelengths (lower v, lower E)

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.

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.

The MVP reduction is also an oxidation, as evidenced by the conversion of
isopropoxide to acetone. Consequently, the reaction can be converted into

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.
413 DEDE KIM-UA
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
414 DEDE KIM-UA
Other radical addition reactions to alkenes have been observed, one example being the peroxide induced addition of carbon tetrachloride shown in the following equation
RCH=CH
2
+ CCl

(peroxide initiator) > RCHClCH

Since the addition of carbon radicals to double bonds is energetically favorable, concentrated solutions of alkenes are prone to
radical-initiated polymerization, as illustrated for propene by the following equation. The blue colored R-group represents an
initiating radical species or a growing polymer chain; the propene monomers are colored maroon. The addition always occurs
so that the more stable radical intermediate is formed.

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).

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.

(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

The previous few reactions have been classified as reductions or oxidations, depending on the change in oxidation

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.

easily identified by measuring the wavelength of absorbed or emitted light.

Spectroscopists discovered some simple formulas relating the wavelengths of

Where is the wavelength of the emitted light and n and m are integers.

Pick any two integers n and m (n must be less than m), calculate the
wavelength and hydrogen will have a spectral line at that wavelength.
There are no spectral lines at any wavelengths not given by this equation.

shells. Each shell has a maximum
occupancy.
The first electronic shell can have at most 2
electrons, the second shell has room for 8
electrons and so on.

nd

These elements are listed in the 1

rows of the periodic table.
Atoms are most stable if their outer shell is
full.
The electrons in outer shells are shielded by
the inner shells from the full attraction of the

readily in chemical reactions.

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

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.

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.

Predicting the Product of a Claisen
Condensation Reaction
Solution

17.9 Intramolecular Claisen
Condensations
Intramolecular Claisen condensations are called Deickman
cyclizations
Reaction works best for 1,6 and 1,7 diesters
1,6 Diester gives a five-membered cyclic |-keto ester
1,7 Diester gives a six-membered cyclic |-keto ester
Intramolecular Claisen Condensations
Mechanism of Dieckmann
cyclization
Same as Claisen reaction
mechanism

Intramolecular Claisen Condensations
The cyclic |-keto ester produced in an intramolecular Claisen
cyclization can be further alkylated and decarboxylated
2-cyclohexanones and 2-cyclopentanones are prepared by the
following sequence:
1. Intramolecular Claisen cyclization
2. |-Keto ester alkylation
3. Decarboxylation
17.10 Conjugate Carbonyl Additions:
The Michael Reaction
The conjugate addition of a nucleophilic enolate ion to an o.|-
unsaturated carbonyl compound is known as the Michael
reaction
Best reactions are derived from addition of a b-keto ester or
other 1,3-dicarbonyl compound to an unhindered o.|-
unsaturated ketone
Ethyl acetoacetate reacts with but-3-en-2-one in the presence of
sodium ethoxide to yield the Michael addition product

Conjugate Carbonyl Additions:
The Michael Reaction
Michael reaction occurs with a variety of o.|-unsaturated
carbonyl compounds
Worked Example 17.8
Using the Michael Reaction
How might you obtain the following compound using a
Michael reaction?
Worked Example 17.8
Using the Michael Reaction
Strategy
A Michael reaction involves the conjugate
addition of a stable enolate ion donor to an
o.|-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor,
yielding a 1,5-dicarbonyl product
Usually the stable enolate ion is derived
from a |-diketone, |-keto ester, malonic
ester or similar compound
The C-C bond made in the conjugate
addition step is the one between the o
carbon of the acidic donor and the |
carbon of the unsaturated acceptor

17.11 Carbonyl Condensations with
Enamines: The Stork Reaction
Enamine nucleophiles add to o.|-unsaturated acceptors
in Michael-like reactions
Reactions are particularly important in biological
chemistry
Enamines are prepared by reaction between a
ketone and a secondary amine

Carbonyl Condensations with
Enamines: The Stork Reaction
Enamines are electronically similar to enolate ions
Overlap of the nitrogen lone-pair orbital with the
double-bond p orbitals leads to an increase in
electron density on the o carbon atom
Carbonyl Condensations with
Enamines: The Stork Reaction
Stork reaction
Enamine adds to an o.|-unsaturated
carbonyl acceptor in a Michael-like
reaction
Initial product is hydrolyzed by aqueous
acid to yield a 1,5-dicarbonyl compound
Overall reaction is a three-step sequence:
1. Enamine formation from a ketone
2. Michael addition to an o.|-unsaturated
carbonyl compound
3. Enamine hydrolysis back to ketone
537 DEDE KIM-UA
Carbonyl Condensations with
Enamines: The Stork Reaction
The net effect of the Stork reaction is a Michael addition
of a ketone to an a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compound
Carbonyl Condensations with
Enamines: The Stork Reaction
Two advantages to the enamine-Michael
reaction that make the pathway useful in
biological systems
1. Enamine is neutral and easily prepared
and handled
Enolate is charged and difficult to prepare
and handle
2. Enamine from a monoketone can be
used in the Michael addition
Only enolate ions from |-dicarbonyl
compounds can be used
539 DEDE KIM-UA
Worked Example 17.9
Using the Stork Enamine Reaction
How might you use an enamine reaction to prepare the
following compound?
Worked Example 17.9
Using the Stork Enamine Reaction
Strategy
The overall result of an enamine reaction
is the Michael addition of a ketone as
donor to an o.|-unsaturated carbonyl
compound as acceptor, yielding a 1,5-
dicarbonyl product
The C-C bond made in the Michael
addition step is the one between the o
carbon of the ketone donor and the |
carbon of the unsaturated acceptor

17.12 Some Biological
Carbonyl Condensation
Reactions
Biological Aldol Reactions
Aldol reactions are particularly important in
carbohydrate metabolism
Enzymes called aldolases catalyze
addition of a ketone enolate ion to an
aldehyde
Type I aldolases occur primarily in animals
and higher plants
Operate through an enolate ion
Type II aldolases occur primarily in fungi and
bacteria
543 DEDE KIM-UA
Some Biological Carbonyl
Condensation Reactions
Mechanism of Type I aldolase in glucose biosynthesis
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is first converted into an enamine
by reaction with the NH
2
group on a lysine amino acid in the
enzyme
Enamine adds to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Resultant iminium ion is hydrolyzed
Some Biological Carbonyl
Condensation Reactions
Mechanism of Type II aldolase in glucose biosynthesis
Aldol reaction occurs directly
Ketone carbonyl group of glyceraldegyde 3-phosphate
complexed to a Zn
2+
ion to make it a better acceptor
Some Biological Carbonyl
Condensation Reactions
Biological Claisen Condensations
Claisen condensations occur in a large number of biological
pathways
In fatty acid biosynthesis an enolate ion generated by
decarboxylation of malonyl ACP adds to the carbonyl group of
another acyl group bonded through a thioester linkage to a
synthase enzyme
The tetrahedral intermediate expels the synthase, giving
acetoacetyl ACP
Some Biological Carbonyl
Condensation Reactions
Mixed Claisen consensations occur frequently in living
organisms
Butyryl synthase, in the fatty-acid biosynthesis
pathway, reacts with malonyl ACP in a mixed Claisen
condensation to give 3-ketohexanoyl ACP

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)

Therefore, they are unreactive! 606 DEDE KIM-UA
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!

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.

One structure can be superimposed on another
If any of the groups
attached to the
tetrahedral atom are
the same, the centre
is achiral.
The ultimate way to test for
molecular chirality is to construct
models of the molecule and its
mirror image and then determine
whether they are superimposable
A molecule will not be chiral if it possess a

Properties of Enantiomers
Enantiomers have identical melting points and boiling points
Enantiomers have identical solubilities in solvents
Enantiomers have identical spectra and refractive index
Enantiomers interact, and react with achiral molecules in the
same manner
Enantiomers interact and react with other
chiral molecules at different rates
Enantiomers rotate plane-polarised light by
equal amounts but in opposite directions
Plane-polarised light
Oscillation of electrical field of ordinary light
occurs in all possible directions

703 DEDE KIM-UA
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).
