Organic Chemistry Course (CHEM 0901)
- The course aims to bridge the gap between CSEC and university-level chemistry.
- Students will be exposed to four types of chemistry: organic, general, inorganic, and physical.
- The course covers principles, rules, and theories of each branch.
- Successful completion allows access to higher levels of expertise within or beyond the specific field.
Season 1: Organic Chemistry (10 Episodes)
- The series contains 10 episodes covering introduction to organic chemistry, reaction mechanisms, alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
Reduction of Alkynes
-
Catalytic hydrogenation: Converts alkynes to alkanes by adding two equivalents of H2.
- The process involves a syn addition of H2 using a catalyst like Pt.
- This initial addition creates a cis alkene.
- Further hydrogenation yields the alkane.
-
Poisoned catalysts: Used to stop the addition process at a cis alkene stage.
- Lindlar's catalyst and P-2 (Ni2B complex-Nickel Boride) are examples.
-
Dissolving metal reduction: Reduces an alkyne to a trans alkene.
- Sodium metal and ammonia are used.
- This process is stereoselective and results in anti addition.
Introduction to Addition Reactions
- Addition is the opposite of elimination.
- The π bond in the reactant is converted to two new sigma bonds, increasing the saturation in the molecules.
- This is demonstrated through different reaction types (Hydrohalogenation, Halogenation, Dihydroxylation, Hydration).
Catalytic Hydrogenation
- Addition of H2 across a C=C double bond.
- Requires a metal catalyst (like Pt).
- Converts alkene to alkane.
- Addition is stereospecific, with syn addition being observed.
Halogenation
- Addition of two halogen atoms (Cl2 or Br2) across a C=C double bond.
- A key step in PVC production.
- Regioselectivity usually with anti addition.
- Bromonium ion is consistent with anti addition, similar to mercurinium ion.
Hydrohalogenation
- Addition of H-X (HCl, HBr, HI) to an alkane.
- Regioselectivity is important.
- Markovnikov addition tends to add H to the carbon with more hydrogens.
- Regioselectivity can be controlled if peroxides are used to achieve Markovnikov results.
Acid-catalyzed Hydration
- Addition of water (H2O) to an alkene catalyzed by an acid (like H2SO4 or H3O+).
- Hydration follows Markovnikov regioselectivity: adding OH to the more substituted carbon.
- The reaction mechanism involves a carbocation intermediate.
Summary of Hydrogenation, Hydrohalogenation, Halogenation and Hydration
- Summary diagrams demonstrate reaction types and products involved across different reaction steps.
- Data tables show the relative rate of each reaction.
