physiological PH
7.4
% ionise acid equation
%A = 100 / 1+ 10 [pKa-pH]
% ionised base equation
%B = 100 / 1+1- [pH-pKa]
weak acid graph
high ph S shape
strong base graph
backwards s high pH
what is the most electron donating group
Et - ethyl
summary pKa chart
left is Pka below 5
right is pKa above 5
top left is strong acids
- carboxylic acid CO2H
top right is weak acids
- phenol
- B-lactam
bottom left is weak bases
- aromatic amine
bottom right is strong bases
- amine
- guanidine
summary of no bases and no acid groups
no N atom = no basic groups
no Oh, NH, SH = no acidic groups
cis
same side
trans
opposite sides
highest and lowest priority
4 = lowest priority = lowest atomic number
E and Z
E opposite
Z same
R
clockwise
S
anticlockwise
if H has filled in wedge
needs to have other wedge so swap from R-S or S-R
what is hydrolysis
reaction with water
molecules most prone to hydrolysis
- esters
- amides
- lactams
- carbamate
- lactones
how to change hydrolysis reaction time
- increase pH = increase in hydrolysis
- metal ions increase hydrolysis
- increase in temp = increase in hydrolysis
what is oxidation
reaction with oxygen or reversible e loss
molecules most prone to oxidation
- phenol
- alcohol
- aldehyde
- amine
- thioether
oxidation without oxygen
double phenol
= catechol
oxidation preventatives
chelating agent - trap metal ions so they cant catalyse
antioxidants - eg vit C
racemisation
transformation from R-S or S-R
- need H and C=O attached to the stereocenter
- can be less active, more active or toxic
epimerisation
same as racemisation but it is when only one centre can racemise when there is numerous other stereocenters
