Alkanes and Alkane Isomers Chapter 3 Alkanes and Alkane Isomers

Section 3.1 Functional Groups Functional groups are essentially the groups that determine the chemical reactivity of all organic molecules Groups you are responsible for (eventually): Alkene Alkyne Arene (Aromatic ring) Halide Alcohol Ether Amine Nitrile Nitro Aldehyde Ketone Carboxylic acid Ester Amide Carboxylic acid anydride Carboxylic acid chloride

Section 3.2 Alkanes and Alkane Isomers The formula shown in the table here is only applicable to saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes)

Straight-Chain vs. Branched-Chain Compounds (Constitutional Isomers) Straight-chain alkanes are also referred to as normal alkanes (e.g. n-butane, n-hexane, etc.) Other isomers are possible as shown below. Referred to as constitutional isomers Same chemical formula, just connected differently

Constitutional Isomers (cont.) Constitutional isomers are not limited to simple alkanes Constitutional isomers may have different functional groups entirely e.g. Nitrile vs Amine Ester vs. Ether, etc. Ex: Propose two isomeric esters with the formula C5H10O2

Determining if Two Structures Are Isomers Same Molecular Formula? NO YES Same Connectivity? Compounds are not isomers NO YES Constitutional isomers Confirm by naming or determining superimposability Possibly the same molecule Same name Superimposable

Section 3.3 Alkyl groups Alkyl groups are partial structures of an alkane structure Ex: CH4 = Methane; A CH3 group attached to a longer chain or functional group becomes a Methyl group Groups shown here are the result of attaching a straight chain (not branched chain) to a new chain or functional group

Branched Alkyl Groups from Internal Carbon Atoms Notice the prefixes being used: Iso- sec- tert-

Carbon Descriptors An “R” group in organic chemistry is essentially a generic group that can stand for anything. How many primary hydrogens? Secondary? Tertiary? Pseudoephedrine 1,1,3-Trimethylbutane Methamphetamine

Section 3.4 Naming Alkanes Step 1: Find the parent hydrocarbon If there are more than one chains with the same length then choose the one that incorporates the most substituents Step 2: Number the atoms in the main chain Step 3: Identify and number the substituents Step 4: Write the name as a single word (like our German friends) and order the substituents alphabetically -- Prefixes di-, tri-, etc. do not count towards ordering Step 5: Name a complex substituent as though it were itself compound

Examples 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Additional Examples

Section 3.5 Properties of Alkanes Relatively inert compounds Very few significant reactions; however, they will react with oxygen and with halogens in the presence of UV light As a general rule their boiling and melting points increase with increasing molecular weight Primarily due to an increase in van der Waal’s dispersion forces

Sourcing of Simple Alkanes Pretty much all alkanes are obtained from crude oil distillation C1-C4 are all gases Methane is essentially natural gas Propane is for grilling delicious meats Butane is the primary fluid for lighters C5-C15 are liquids C5-C10 make up the bulk of gasoline C11-C15 constitutes diesel fuel C25 and higher are solids (waxes)

Gasoline Industry The octane system is based on the defined values from two different compounds Heptane (0) and 2,2,5-trimethyloctane (100) Higher octane values can be obtained by adding compounds with greater degrees of branching

Hydrocarbon Refining and Cracking To achieve better and more efficient fuels the gasoline industry relies on both refining and cracking techniques

Thermodynamic Stability of Isomers Heat of combustion data can be used to directly correlate stability among a series of constitutional isomers. Energy Branching imparts stability on a compound

Section 3.6 Conformations of Ethane Recall that all C-C single bonds have the ability to rotate around the bond axis due to the head-to-head overlap from the  orbitals As a result of this, it is possible to investigate the 3-dimensional stereochemistry associated with various compounds

Newman Projections When specifically looking at ethane, different atom arrangements or conformations are possible It is helpful to visualize these different conformations using a Newman projection which views the C-C bond end-on Ethane

Potential Energy of Various Conformations The staggered conformation represents the lowest energy conformer and occurs when hydrogens are as far apart from one another as possible The eclipsed conformation represents the highest energy conformer and occurs when hydrogens are very close to each other -- The higher energy of the eclipsed conformation is a result of torsional strain

Section 3.7 Conformations of Other Alkanes Torsional strain leads to hindered rotation around the C-C bond Becomes even more significant when looking at propane Notice the increased energy from the methyl group-hydrogen interaction

Additional Conformations of Butane When considering the C-C bond between the two secondary carbons of butane it is possible to form two new conformations The anti-conformation and the gauche-conformation In addition to the torsional strain between these groups there is also steric strain Steric strain is essentially the strain arising from spatial considerations (repulsive forces that arise when there is not enough space to accommodate all atoms)
