25
isobutane (isolate the branch in butane)
the butane isomer with the branch
26
in isomers, don't add..
the extra carbon on the end. Only add it to carbons in the middle
27
any isomer that begins with "iso" (isolated branch)
has one branch in the middle
28
isomer that has a branch carbon on top and on bottom is called...
neo. ex- neo-pentane
29
conformers are not
isomers
30
can't rotate conformation with carbons where there are..
double or triple bond. Visualize it and it will make sense. The bonds would wrap around each other.
31
conformation
just the view of the hydrogens. if the H rotate around the C, seeing them and not seeing them are the 2 conformations.
32
affects the property of the molecules (2 things)
isomer and conformation
33
eclipse (conformation) and the degrees (eclipse at 3 - one 120 min)
when the hydrogens are covering each other. at 0, 120, 240 degrees, you can't see them individually.
34
staggered (conformation) and degrees (staggering after 3 a.m. - do a 180 now)
when the hydrogens are not covering each other. at about 60 degrees, 180, or 300 degrees.
35
tetrahydral structure (meth tetris)
methane - just one C.
36
dihedral structure (think di)
2 carbons (2 tetras)
37
newman projection
a type of planar (not 3 dimensional) projection along one bond - the projected bond
38
dihedral angle (di newman)
angle between hydrogens in newman projection
39
the most stable conformer
staggered
40
if asked to identify conformer on test...
ex. it would be straight chain of the same number of C, either zig zag, or straight across, etc.
41
can be branched or unbranched
alkanes
42
branches (or substituents) are called
alkyls
43
if you remove just one hydrogen from an alkane, it becomes an
alkyl
44
how to change the name for the branches?
methane becomes methyl - just change ending to hyl.
45
CH3 (alkyl)
methyl
46
CH3CH2 or C2H5 (alkyl)
ethyl
47
CH3CH2CH2 (alkyl) or CH3CHCH3
propyl. If the H is removed from the middle carbon, it's called isopropyl
48
line groups for methyl and ethyl
methyl is like a straight line, ethyl is a little bent
49
CH3CH2CH2CH2 (alkyl)
butyl
50
line angle for isopropyl
Y-shaped
51
if you remove a middle hydrogen in butane - CH3CHCH2CH3 it's called...
secbutyl or s-butyl
52
isobutyl (buty Y are you upside down)
in the shape of a cross, one on top, one on bottom and becomes isobutyl. The line structure is an upside down Y.
53
tert-butyl (tert the bird)
the lone H on the bottom is removed, leaving a middle C attached to 3 other carbons. (bird foot)
54
nomenclature - rule 1
1) longest chain and name it. if you have equal number going in 2 different directions, pick the option with more branches.
55
nomenclature - rule 2
name all the side chains, alkyl groups
56
nomenclature - rule 3
number the chain beginning with the end closest to the branches. IF both branches are the same distance from the end, name the alkyl group and go in alphabetical order.
57
nomenclature - if you have 2 or more side chains that are the same (ie methyl)
then number it, and use the one with smaller numbers. ie. if it's 3, 8, 10 or 3, 5, 10 - use the 3, 5, 10 one.
58
nomenclature - rule 4
number to which the branch is attached separated by a hyphen. If there are 2 numbers following each other, use a comma between numbers.
59
nomenclature - if there are several of the same alkyl group
use di, tri, tetra (these prefixes do not change the alphabetical order)
60
with conformers, watch for...
the formulas that wrap around. Count the number of carbons like you're naming it, and then check where any substituents are. It could be tricky.
61
tert-butyl
butyl (substituent) attached to 4th carbon
