Study Notes
Isomers
- Structural or Stereoisomers
- Structural (Constitutional)
- Skeletal
- Positional
- Functional
- Tautmers
Structural or Constitutional Isomers
- Compounds with the same atoms but different connectivity
Molecules with Multiple Stereocenters
- More stereocenters result in more possible stereoisomers
- One stereocenter: R or S
- Two stereocenters: R,R; R,S; S,R; S,S
- Three stereocenters: Eight stereoisomers
Elements of Symmetry
- Chirality refers to handedness, where a molecule is not superposable on its mirror image
- Symmetry elements refer to superposable instances within a molecule:
- Plane: An imaginary plane through an object where one half is the mirror image of the other
- Center: Identical parts on an axis that are equidistant from a point
Heterocycles
- Important heterocycles with accepted trivial names exist
Nomenclature of Fused Heterocycles
- Prefix + o [side of fusion] suffix (parent ring)
- Base component
- Attached component
- Numbering of complete fused system
Important of Heterocyclic Chemistry
- Aromatic heterocycles are important, with focus on their aromatic properties and the stability of delta complexes due to lone pairs on heteroatoms donating electrons into the ring through resonance
Reactivity of Heterocycles (furan, pyrrole, thiophene) towards electrophilic aromatic substitution
- Ordering from most reactive to least reactive: Pyrrole, Furan, Thiophene
- Pyrrole is more reactive than furan due to its electronegativity, resulting in better carbocation intermediate stabilization
