Study Notes
Chemical Foundations of Biochemistry - Module 2
- This module covers fundamental chemical concepts relevant to biochemistry, including nomenclature, chemical bonds, electronegativity, polarity, acids/bases, and isomers.
Module 2 Concepts
-
Nomenclature: Focuses on hydrocarbons and functional groups, including IUPAC nomenclature and common names. Examples of this include the IUPAC name for glycerol and its common name.
-
Chemical Bonds: Covers bond numbers, and the distinction between intramolecular and intermolecular forces.
-
Electronegativity & Polarity: Explores the concept of electronegativity and its role in determining bond polarity.
-
Acids/Bases: Introduces the definitions and properties of acids and bases.
-
Isomers: Explores the concept of isomers, including structural and spatial isomers (enantiomers, diastereomers, cis/trans, and epimers). Examples of structural isomers are provided using the molecule C₃H₈O.
Hydrocarbon Nomenclature
-
Hydrocarbons: Defined as chemical compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. These are the building blocks of biomolecules.
-
Alkane, Alkene, and Alkyne: Three types of hydrocarbons differentiated by the type of carbon-carbon bonds (single, double, and triple, respectively). This includes examples and relevant structures.
-
Naming strategy for linear hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes): Three main types, with prefixes based on the number of carbon atoms and suffixes ("ane," "ene," "yne") distinguishing between single, double, and triple bonds.
Naming Rules for Linear & Branched Alkanes
-
Linear Alkanes: The naming strategy for linear hydrocarbons is introduced (prefix/suffix system). A table shows the prefixes based on the number of carbons.
-
Branched Alkanes: The naming strategy for branched alkanes (parent chain/side chains) is introduced. Example molecules are used to illustrate.
-
Identifying side chains with branches: Explanation of naming branched side chains with specific rules given. A step-by-step example is also provided.
Cyclic Hydrocarbons
- Cyclic structures: Hydrocarbons can form rings. Cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and cyclopropane are presented as examples.
Functional Groups
-
Functional Groups: Chemical structures containing atoms other than carbon and hydrogen that modify the properties and naming of hydrocarbons. Several common functional groups are presented—alcohols, ethers, amines, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, ketones, esters, phosphates, and thiols.
-
Properties and naming formats for alcohols, ethers, amines, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, ketones, esters, phosphates, and thiols.
Rules for Naming Hydrocarbons with Functional Groups
-
Functional group priority: Functional groups take precedence in numbering and naming the hydrocarbon.
-
Parent chain determination: The longest chain containing the functional group is the parent chain, even if it's not the longest overall chain.
-
Numbering and naming chains: The chain is numbered to assign the lowest possible number to the carbon bearing the functional group carbon.
Structural Isomers
-
Different bonding arrangement: Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different ways atoms are bonded.
-
Example: 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and ethyl methyl ether are shown as examples.
Spatial Isomers
-
Enantiomers: Enantiomers are spatial isomers that are mirror images of each other.
-
Thalidomide example: Illustrates the different effects enantiomers can have (one form effective, and the other harmful).
-
Diastereomers: Diastereomers are spatial isomers that are not mirror images.
-
Cis/trans isomers: A subtype of diastereomers that differ in the spatial arrangement around a double bond.
-
Epimers: A subtype of diastereomers that differ in the configuration of a single chiral carbon atom. An example of the epimers of glucose are shown.
Water
-
Water's polarity: Water is polar due to oxygen's higher electronegativity compared to hydrogen.
-
Importance of polarity to Solubility: "like dissolves like" principle: polar substances dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar in non-polar solvents.
-
Ionization of water: Water can ionize into hydronium (H₃O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions.
Acids and Bases
-
Acids: Substances that donate protons.
-
Bases: Substances that accept protons.
-
pH balance in the body: pH of blood is tightly regulated within a narrow range for proper function.
Other important Topics
-
Electronegativity: The ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. A table of electronegativity values is provided.
-
Bond types: Covalent bonds (electron sharing), ionic bonds (electron transfer), hydrogen bonds, Van Der Waals forces, and hydrophobic forces. This includes the relative strengths.
-
Bond Formation: Describes how atoms form bonds based on needing a full outer orbital.
