Main Ideas, Concepts, and Lessons

1. Introduction to Organic Chemistry

• Organic chemistry studies hydrocarbons and their derivatives containing elements like nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, and halogens.
• Historical context:
  • Vital force theory by Berzelius.
  • Disproved by F. Wöhler who synthesized urea in the lab.

2. Tetravalency and Hybridization of Carbon

• Carbon forms four bonds (tetravalent).
• Types of hybridization:
  • sp hybridization (alkynes): linear structure, bond angle 180°, 50% s-character.
  • sp² hybridization (alkenes): trigonal planar, bond angle 120°, 33% s-character.
  • sp³ hybridization (alkanes): tetrahedral, bond angle 109.5°, 25% s-character.
• Pi bonds are formed by unhybridized p orbitals perpendicular to the molecular plane.

3. Structural Representations of Organic Compounds

• Complete structural formula: Shows all atoms and bonds.
• Condensed structural formula: Simplifies by grouping atoms and using subscripts (e.g., CH₃CH₃ for ethane).
• Bond-line (skeletal) formula: Carbon atoms shown as vertices/junctions of zigzag lines; hydrogens attached to carbons are usually omitted unless attached to heteroatoms.
• 3D representation: Uses wedges (bond towards observer) and dashed lines (bond away from observer) to depict spatial arrangement.

4. Classification of Organic Compounds

• Open chain (acyclic) compounds: Straight or branched chains.
• Cyclic compounds: Closed ring structures.
  • Homocyclic: Rings containing only carbon atoms.
    • Alicyclic (non-aromatic cyclic)
    • Aromatic (e.g., benzene, following Huckel’s rule, planar, sp² hybridized)
  • Heterocyclic: Rings containing atoms other than carbon (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen).

5. Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons

• Root words indicate the number of carbons (meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, etc.).
• Suffixes indicate type of bonding:
  • -ane (single bonds)
  • -ene (double bonds)
  • -yne (triple bonds)
• Prefixes indicate substituents (methyl, ethyl, chloro, bromo, nitro, etc.).
• Rules for numbering:
  • Longest continuous chain selected.
  • Numbering gives substituents the lowest possible numbers.
  • Multiple identical substituents use prefixes (di-, tri-, tetra-).
  • Alphabetical order used for naming substituents.
• Special names for branched alkyl groups (isopropyl, sec-butyl, neopentyl).
• Cycloalkanes use the prefix “cyclo-“.
• Functional groups affect suffixes and priority in naming.

6. Functional Groups and Their Priority

• Functional groups are ranked by priority in nomenclature (e.g., carboxylic acid > aldehyde > ketone > alcohol).
• When multiple functional groups are present:
  • Highest priority group gets suffix.
  • Others are named as prefixes (hydroxy-, oxo-, etc.).
• Halogens and nitro groups are always prefixes.
• Multiple identical functional groups use di-, tri-, etc.

7. Nomenclature of Substituted Benzene Compounds

• Substituted benzenes named by adding substituent name before benzene (e.g., methylbenzene).
• Common names (aniline, phenol, benzaldehyde) are used.
• Ortho-, meta-, para- prefixes denote relative positions of substituents.
• Numbering chosen to give substituents the lowest numbers and alphabetical order.

8. Isomerism in Organic Compounds

• Structural isomerism: Same molecular formula, different connectivity.
  • Chain isomerism: Different carbon skeletons.
  • Position isomerism: Different positions of functional groups or multiple bonds.
  • Functional group isomerism: Different functional groups.
  • Metamerism: Different alkyl groups on either side of a functional group (mainly ethers).

9. Fundamental Concepts of Organic Reaction Mechanisms

• Reaction involves breaking bonds and forming new bonds.
• Reaction mechanism: stepwise sequence of bond-breaking and bond-making.
• Bond fission types:
  • Homolytic cleavage: Each atom gets one electron, forming free radicals.
  • Heterolytic cleavage: One atom gets both electrons, forming ions (carbocations and carbanions).

10. Reactive Intermediates

• Carbocation: Positively charged carbon, sp² hybridized, planar, electron-deficient.
• Carbanion: Negatively charged carbon, sp³ hybridized.
• Free radical: Species with an unpaired electron, sp² hybridized.
• Stability order influenced by electron donating groups (inductive effect, hyperconjugation).

11. Electrophiles and Nucleophiles

• Electrophiles: Electron-deficient species (positive or neutral) that accept electron pairs.
• Nucleophiles: Electron-rich species (negative or neutral) that donate electron pairs.

12. Electron Displacement Effects in Covalent Bonds

• Inductive effect (I effect): Permanent shift of sigma electrons due to electronegativity differences.
  • -I effect: Electron withdrawing groups pull electron density away.
  • +I effect: Electron donating groups push electron density.
• Electromeric effect: Temporary transfer of pi electrons in presence of attacking reagents.
  • +E effect: Electron transfer towards attacking reagent.
  • -E effect: Electron transfer away from attacking reagent.

13. Resonance

• Delocalization of electrons over multiple structures.
• Resonance hybrid is more stable than individual canonical forms.
• Stability rules:
  • More covalent bonds, fewer charges.
  • Negative charge on more electronegative atom.
  • Less charge separation.
• Resonance effect (R effect) is permanent polarity from interaction of pi bonds and lone pairs.

14. Hyperconjugation

• Delocalization of sigma electrons of C-H or C-C bonds adjacent to a positive center.
• Provides extra stability to carbocations.
• More alkyl groups attached to carbocation increases hyperconjugation and stability.

Methodology / List of Instructions

Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons

• Identify longest carbon chain.
• Number chain to give substituents lowest possible numbers.
• Name substituents in alphabetical order.
• Use prefixes (di-, tri-) for multiple identical substituents.
• For cyclic compounds, use “cyclo-“ prefix.
• Assign priority to functional groups for suffix and prefixes.
• Number functional groups to give lowest possible numbers.
• Use common names for certain substituted benzenes.
• Use ortho-, meta-, para- for disubstituted benzenes.

Reaction Mechanisms

• Identify electrophiles and nucleophiles.
• Determine bond cleavage type (homolytic or heterolytic).
• Understand formation and stability of reactive intermediates.
• Track electron movement using curved arrow notation.
• Apply effects (inductive, electromeric, resonance, hyperconjugation) to explain stability and reactivity.
