IUPAC (Substitutive): Alkyl alides Br C 3 Br C 3 1 2 4 6 3 5 7 C 3 C 2 CC 2 CC 2 C 3 3-bromo-5-methylheptane Steps: 1. Identify and number the longest continuous chain of carbons. 2. Follow all previous rules and conventions for naming/numbering alkane chains. 3. Name the compound according to the figure below. Conventions: Previous conventions apply (e.g., first point of difference rule). alogens and alkyl groups are considered to have equal rank when deciding numbering. If two numbering schemes give same locant, choose numbering that lists substituents alphabetically. Subsituent names for halogens are fluoro, chloro, bromo, & iodo. parent locant halo substituent parent chain name Slide 10
Cl IUPAC (Substitutive): Alcohols 4 5-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-pentan-1-ol 3 5 C 2 C 2 CC 3 2 3 C CC 2 1 or 5-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-1-pentanol Steps: 1. Identify and number the longest continuous chain of carbons to give the - group the lowest locant. 2. Name the parent by replacing -e with -ol (e.g. pentane becomes pentanol). 3. Name the compound according to the figure below. Conventions: Previous conventions apply (e.g., first point of difference rule). Alcohols outrank (have priority over) halogens and alkyl groups when considering numbering scheme. Alcohol locant may be placed before the parent name (e.g. 1-pentanol) or after ( e.g. pent-1-ol). Cl locant parent (drop last e ) ol parent (drop last e ) locant ol Slide 11
Two Substitutive Nomenclatures vs. Functional Group Class Nomenclature substitutive and 2004 name are preferred old habits are hard to break Slide 12
Classification of Substituted Carbons count the number of carbons bonded to the carbon atom you wish to classify: one = primary (1º) two = secondary (2º) three = tertiary (3º) four = quaternary (4º) Slide 13

Effect of Structure on Boiling Points only London dispersion forces aka: induced-dipole/ induced-dipole induced/induced dipole-dipole attractive force dipole/induced-dipole induced/induced dipole-dipole attractive force dipole/induced-dipole hydrogen bonding C 3 C 2 C 3 (propane) C 3 C 2 F (fluoroethane) C 3 C 2 (ethanol) MW 44 48 46 boiling point (ºC) Dipole moment (µ) -42-32 +78 0 1.9 1.7 Slide 17
Review: induced-dipole//induced-dipole (London Dispersion Forces) C C C C C more atoms = more electrons = more induced dipoles = more attractive forces = C C C C C higher boiling point Slide 18
Dipole/Induced-Dipole C C F permanent dipole in one molecule induces a temporary dipole in a non-polar region of another molecule C C F more C-X bonds = more dipole/dipole-induced attractive forces Slide 19
Dipole/Dipole C C C F F C attractive force between two permanent dipoles not necessarily only at the polar covalent bond: region of partial positive charge in one molecule attracted to region of negative charge in another molecule. Slide 20
ydrogen Bonding is a Strong Dipole/Dipole Attractive Force Slide 21
Boiling Point Trends in same class (i.e. X = F) boiling point increases as MW increases; more atoms = more attractive van der Waals forces = higher boiling point alcohols have significantly higher boiling points than similar halides; strong hydrogen bonding attractive forces boiling point increases from fluorine to iodine for same series; polarizability of halogen increases down periodic table Slide 22
Boiling Point Trends (Cl, Br, I nly) boiling point increases with increasing number of halogens despite CCl 4 having no molecular dipole, it has the highest boiling point induced-dipole/induced-dipole forces are the greatest because it has the greatest number of chlorine atoms Slide 23
Polarizability and Teflon Teflon = polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) F F F F F F F F F F n F F more bonds to F (low polarizability) = less/weaker induceddipole/induced-dipole attractive forces Slide 24
Polarizability polarizability: the ease of distortion of the electron cloud of a molecular entity by an electric field; flexibility, squishiness of the electron cloud bromomethane (b.p. = 3 ºC) fluoromethane (b.p. = -78 ºC) polarizability increases down the periodic table; larger orbitals; more polarizable = better able to momentarily generate induced-dipole = stronger induced-dipole/ induced-dipole forces = more attractive forces = higher boiling point Slide 25

Step Two Potential Energy Diagram Step Two Dissociation (Ionization) largest activation energy (Ea) endothermic, slowest carbocation intermediate is much higher in energy than an oxonium ion carbocations do not have a full octet, whereas oxonium ions do structure of transition state most resembles the closest energy neighbor, the carbocation (ammond Post.)

Step Three Potential Energy Diagram Step Three Carbocation Capture fast step because small activation energy; positive and negative atoms bond fast products are much lower in energy since they are neutral; exothermic reaction transition state looks most like its closest neighbor, the carbocation intermediate (very little C-Cl bond formation at transition state) (ammond Postulate) Slide 48
Nucleophiles Add to Electrophiles nucleophile: nucleus loving; Lewis base; electron pair donor; forms bonds with a nucleus that can accept electrons; does not necessarily have to be negatively charged; has available, filled orbitals! electrophile: electron loving; Lewis acid; electron pair acceptor; forms bonds by accepting electrons from other atoms; does not necessarily have to be positively charged; has available, empty orbitals!
