Study Notes
Isomers and Stereoisomers
- Compounds can be related to each other as identical, enantiomers, diastereomers, or constitutional isomers
- Enantiomers and diastereomers are types of stereoisomers
Stereoisomers and Chirality
- A compound can have multiple stereoisomers, and each stereoisomer can be assigned as R or S at the stereogenic center(s)
- Chiral molecules can be optically active, while achiral molecules cannot
- Molecules with a plane of symmetry are achiral
Conformers and Energy Diagrams
- Rotating a molecule around a bond can create different conformers
- Energy diagrams can be created to show the relative energy of each conformer
Newman Projections and Chair Conformers
- Newman projections can be converted to chair conformers
- Chair conformers can undergo ring flip to show equilibrium between conformers
Isomeric Compounds
- Isomeric compounds can be dimethylcyclopentanes, each with different properties
- Compounds can be compared based on their boiling points, chirality, and presence of a plane of symmetry
Strain in Molecules
- Strain can be present in molecules, which can be identified through Newman projections
NMR Spectroscopy
- NMR spectroscopy can be used to determine the number of 1H NMR signals a compound gives
- The number of 1H NMR signals can be used to determine the molecular structure
Molecular Formula
- A molecular formula can be used to determine the structure of a compound
- A hydrocarbon with two degrees of unsaturation can have a specific molecular formula
Aromatic Splitting Patterns
- Constitutional isomers can have different aromatic splitting patterns
- Matching a compound to its aromatic splitting pattern can be used to identify the structure
Mass Spectroscopy
- Mass spectra can be used to suggest properties of a molecule
- Mass spectra can be used to identify the structure of a compound
IR Spectroscopy
- IR spectroscopy can be used to match a compound to its IR spectrum
- IR spectroscopy can be used to identify the structure of a compound
Spectroscopic Data
- Spectroscopic data, including NMR, can be used to determine the structure of a compound
- A combination of spectroscopic data can be used to determine the structure of a compound
