3 Isomerism Isomers have identical composition but different structures Two forms of isomerism – –Constitutional (or structural) – –Stereoisomerism

4 Map of Organic Isomerization

5 compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas (connected differently) Constitutional isomers compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas (connected differently)

6 Constitutional Isomerism

7 Stereoisomerism Same atom-to-atom connections but different arrangement in space

8 Cis-2-butene Stereoisomers: Geometric Geometric isomers can occur when there is a C=C double bond. Trans-2-butene

9 Optical isomers are molecules with non-superimposable mirror images. Such molecules are called CHIRAL Pairs of chiral molecules are enantiomers. Chiral molecules in solution can rotate the plane of plane polarized light. Stereoisomers: Optical

10 Chiral Compounds—Polarized Light

11 Chirality generally occurs when a C atom has 4 different groups attached. These molecules are non- superimposable mirror images.

12 Lactic acid

13 Lactic acid isomers are non- superimposable

14 These amino acids are non- superimposable mirror images.

15 Stereoisomers in Nature Right- and left- handed seashells The DNA here is right-handed

16 Hydrocarbons Alkanes and Cycloalkanes Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

17 Alkanes hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon single bonds

18 Hydrocarbon: a compound composed of only carbon and hydrogen

19 Alkanes –the first 10 alkanes with unbranched chains Generic Alkane Formula: C n H 2n+2

20 Alkanes are colorless gases, liquids, and solids Generally unreactive (but undergo combustion) Not polar (or low polarity) and so are not soluble in water. Alkanes

21 Nomenclature

22 IUPAC Names Alkyl group: a substituent group derived from an alkane by removal of a hydrogen atom –commonly represented by the symbol R- –named by dropping the -ane from the name of the parent alkane and adding the suffix -yl

23

24 IUPAC Names The IUPAC name of an alkane with an unbranched chain of carbon atoms consists of two parts: –(1) a prefix: the number of carbon atoms in the chain –(2) the suffix -ane: shows that the compound is a saturated hydrocarbon

25 IUPAC Names 1. The name for an alkane with an unbranched chain of carbon atoms consists of a prefix showing the number of carbon atoms and the ending - ane

26 IUPAC Names 2. For branched-chain alkanes, longest chain of carbon atoms is the parent chain and its name is the root name

27 IUPAC Names 3. Name and number each substituent on the parent chain; use a hyphen to connect the number to the name

28 Nomenclature Example

29 IUPAC Names 4. If there is one substituent, number the parent chain from the end that gives the substituent the lower number

30 IUPAC Names 5. If the same substituent occurs more than once, –number the parent chain from the end that gives the lower number to the substituent encountered first

31 IUPAC Names 5. If the same substituent occurs more than once, –indicate the number of times the substituent occurs by a prefix di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, and so on

32 IUPAC Names 5. If the same substituent occurs more than once, –use a comma to separate position numbers

33

34 IUPAC Names 6. If there are two or more different substituents –list them in alphabetical order

35 IUPAC Names 6. If there are two or more different substituents –number the chain from the end that gives the lower number to the substituent encountered first

36 IUPAC Names 6. If there are two or more different substituents –if there are different substituents in equivalent positions on opposite ends of the parent chain, give the substituent of lower alphabetical order the lower number

37

38 IUPAC Names 7. Do not include the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, and so on, or the hyphenated prefixes sec- and tert- in alphabetizing; –alphabetize the names of substituents first, and then insert these prefixes

39 Nomenclature Example

40 Cycloalkanes a hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms joined to form a ring Cyclic hydrocarbon: a hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms joined to form a ring

41 Cycloalkanes

42 Cycloalkanes Nomenclature –to name a cycloalkane, prefix the name of the corresponding open- chain alkane with cyclo-, and name each substituent on the ring –if there is only one substituent on the ring, there is no need to give it a location number

43 All compounds are flexible. Cyclohexane, C 6 H 12, has interconverting “chair” and “boat” forms. Cycloalkanes

44 Alkenes Alkene: a hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon double bonds –ethylene is the simplest alkene

45 Alkenes - IUPAC Names To name an alkene –use the ending -ene to show the presence of the C=C –branched-chain alkenes are named in a manner similar to alkanes; substituted groups are located and named

46 Alkenes - IUPAC Names Examples

47 Alkenes Cis-trans isomerism because of restricted rotation about a carbon- carbon double bond, an alkene with two different groups on each carbon of the double bond shows cis-trans isomerism How many isomers are possible for a compound with the formula C 4 H 8 ?

48 Alkynes Alkyne: a hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds –Acetylene (ethyne) is the simplest alkyne

49 Benzene and its Derivatives Benzene, C 6 H 6, in the top 25 chemicals produced in the U.S. Starting point for hundreds of other compounds.

50 Aromatic Compounds Aromatic compound: a hydrocarbon that contains one or more benzene-like rings –arene: a term used to describe aromatic compounds –Ar-: a symbol for an aromatic group derived by removing an -H from an arene

51 Kekulé structure for benzene (1872)

52 The electrons of Benzene are Delocalized sp 2 hybridized

53 Other Aromatic Hydrocarbons TolueneNaphthalene

54 Benzene Derivatives Aniline C 6 H 5 NH 2 Phenol C 6 H 5 OH TNT trinitrotoluene C 6 H 4 CH 3 (NO 2 ) 3

55 Naming Benzene Derivatives 1,4-dimethylbenzene Common name: p-xylene
