Carbon
What’s special about carbon?
1. Forms 4 bonds.
2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable.
3. It can covalently bond to numerous other elements.
Why is that important?
![Page 3: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Suppose you want to create a language?
How would you do it, what do you need?
An alphabet – characters or letters.
Words which represent individual concepts.
Strings of words which represent more complicated ideas.

Suppose I give you only 2 letters (“a” and “b”) and limit your word length to 3 letters, how many words in your language?
aaa bbbaab bbaaba babbaa abb
I’ve only got 8 words! How dull!

Suppose I give you only 2 letters (“a” and “b”) and limit your word length to 3 letter chains, but each letter chain can have side chains how many words in your language?
Supose I can now have as many letter chains as possible…
I quickly have a near infinite number of words! Imagine the sentences I could write.

Simplest Organic Molecules
“Hydrocarbons” – molecules only made up of carbon and hydrogen (2 letter alphabet!)
Simplest Hydrocarbons…alkanes – all carbons are bonded to 4 other atoms!

Alkanes
Alkanes are the basis for all organic molecules and organic nomenclature.
Alkanes (and organic molecules in general) begin with the longest carbon chain in the molecule

Nomenclature
There are 3 parts to organic chemistry nomenclature:
Substituents + length of longest straight C chain + ending indicating dominant functional group
![Page 11: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The root – longest straight chain
1 C - Methyl
2 C - Ethyl
3 C - Propyl
4 C - Butyl
5 C - Pentyl
6 C - Hexyl
7 C - Heptyl
8 C – Octyl
Latin numbers take over after 5…
![Page 12: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To name an alkane:
1. Count the longest straight chain of Carbon atoms.
2. Replace the “-yl” with an “-ane”
3. Everything else becomes a substituent.

Alkanes – CxH2x+2
Methane – CH4
Ethane– C2H6
Propane – C3H8
Butane – C4H10
Pentane – C5H12
Hexane – C6H14
Heptane – C7H16
Octane – C8H18
![Page 14: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Isomers
Notice that for 4 carbons or more, it is possible to arrange the backbone differently.
For example: CH3
|CH3 - CH - CH3 OR CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3
Different structures with the same molecular formula are called isomers - identical numbers and types of atoms, but stuck together differently.
![Page 15: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Isomer nomenclature
The systematic naming system uses the LONGEST STRAIGHT CHAIN
CH3
|
CH3 - CH - CH3 OR CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3
So, the first structure would be named as a propane (2-methyl-propane) rather than a butane like the second structure. This prevents confusion.
![Page 16: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other substituents
Suppose I were to have a Br on my propane?
CH3 - CH – CH3
| BrIs that the only place it could go? CH2 – CH2 – CH3
| Br
How about a 3rd one?
CH3 – CH2 – CH2
| Br
![Page 17: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other substituents
CH3 - CH – CH3
| Br
CH2 – CH2 – CH3
| Br
3rd one is the same as the 2nd one, flipped around: it is not distinct!
CH3 – CH2 – CH2
| Br
![Page 18: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Back to hydrocarbons!
Even without adding anything but C and H, we have an infinite number of possibilities based on all the structural isomers. And we can also change the BONDING!!!
Carbon can not only form a single covalent bond with another carbon atom, it can form a DOUBLE bond!!
![Page 22: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CH3 – CH3 (ethane)
CH2 = CH2 (eth-?)
Hydrocarbons with one or more DOUBLE bonds are called alkenes!
CH2 = CH2 (ethene)
Alkenes ende in “-ene” instead of “-ane”
![Page 23: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Not only does this create a whole bunch of alkenes, it also creates a whole bunch of isomers!!!
![Page 24: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

D) CH3 – CH2 - CH2 - CH = CH2 (same as 1)
E) CH2 = C = CH - CH2 – CH3
F) CH2 = CH - CH = CH – CH3
Etc. etc. etc.

B) CH3 - CH = CH - CH2 – CH3 2 - pentene
C) CH2 = C = CH - CH2 – CH3 1,2-penta-diene
D) CH2 = CH - CH = CH – CH3 1,3-penta-diene
Etc. etc. etc.
![Page 26: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If you have more than 1 of something…
Use a prefix:
2 = “di”
3 = “tri”
4 = “tetra”
5 = “penta”
Etc.

If two bonds are better than one, how about three?
Yes, it is true, carbon can form a TRIPLE bond.
Such molecules are called “alkynes” and are named by adding a “-yne” instead of an “-ane” to the alkane root.

Alkane Chemistry
BORING!!!
Well, we know they burn (or oxidize)!
CxH2x+2 + (3/2x+1/2) O2 x CO2 + (x+1)H2O
You can also “substitute” a halogen (X=Br, Cl, I): UV or heat
CxH2x+2 + X2 CxH2x+1X + HX UV or heat
CH3CH3 + Cl2 CH3CH2Cl + HCl
![Page 31: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Alkane Chemistry
Substitution is just a replacement reaction: remove a hydrogen, add something else

C. 3-bromo-hexane
D. A and B
E. B and C

Alkenes and Alkynes…
…are more interesting!
They can do pretty much everything that alkanes can do, but they also have those extra bonds!
![Page 34: Organic Chemistry The Magic of Carbon. Carbon What’s special about carbon? 1. Forms 4 bonds. 2. It’s bonds are stable, but not too stable. 3. It can covalently](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649dbb5503460f94aac786/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bonds are electrons…
So, if you have an extra bond, you have extra electrons.
It is possible for an alkene or alkyne to ADD other atoms without needing to remove anything.

“Saturation”
I’m sure you’ve heard the term “saturation” somewhere in the main stream media, probably in a commercial: “Tastes like butter but it’s 100% poly-unsaturated”.
What does it mean?
Saturation refers to the number of hydrogens relative the number of carbons. Alkanes are saturated (CxH2x+2) – all the carbons are either singly bonded to another carbon or to a hydrogen. Alkenes are “unsaturated” – there’s room for more hydrogens!

Stereoisomerism
Differences in 3D orientation of atoms is a different type of isomer, called a stereoisomer.
Same thing happens with cycloalkanes: the atoms can’t rotate, so if you have substituent groups, they can be oriented differently in 3D!

Does that really make a difference?
There is only one measurable difference: rotation of polarized light. If you shine a polarized light ray on the two enantiomers, one will rotate the polarization to the right, the other will rotate the polarization to the left.

Believe it or not…
Sometimes one enantiomer will cure disease and the other will do nothing!!!
Think “lock-and-key” model of enzyme behavior. Only one enantiomer fits the lock!

Aromatic compounds
Actually, the 3 alternating double bonds give the molecule an added stability. To see why, we’d really need to take a look at the 3D geometry of the bonds:
1. The 2nd bond is perpendicular to the ring.2. The ring lies flat.3. Remember our old friend resonance?

The real structure is the “average” of the resonance structures: A perfectly flat ring with the electrons completely delocalized around the ring.

Aromatic rings
Benzene is an aromatic ring. As such, it is kind of a “functional group” unto itself. The double bonds are so delocalized and superstrong, that they are NOT capable of addition reactions.
Benzene chemistry happens on the outside of the ring, not inside it.

Because it is a single unit, it is often represented as a hexagon (for the carbons) with a circle in the middle (for the delocalized double bonds).
