Rearrangement with Sulfuric Acid 10
(C) Pavel SedachLearnfaster.ca
When a strong acid is used, rearrangement becomes a possibility because the intermediate is a carbocation. A rearrangement occurs because a more stable (thermodynamic) product can be produced rather than the more accessible (less steps/effort -kinetic) product:

Electron Donating Groups and Electron Withdrawing Groups
If the atom next to the chosen position is Delta Negative and has a lone electron pair, it is a donor.
Alkyl groups are weakly donating.
If the atom next to the chosen position is Delta Positive, you are dealing with an Electron Withdrawing Group.
Alkenes/Alkynes are withdrawing groups BUT they stabilize carbocations through resonance.

Hydrogenation - addition of hydrogen 21
(C) Pavel SedachLearnfaster.ca
A noble metal catalyst such as Platinum, Palladium, Ruthenium or Rhodium is used along with pressure and heat.
Problem 1) both alkynes and alkenes get taken all the way to the alkane (no selectivity)Problem 2) The addition of hydrogen molecules is syn addition (to the same face)
Consequence:
������ �����������
������ ��
������ �����������
Noble metal
This selectivity occurs because the reagents are attracted tothe surface of the metal catalyst.
Hence addition of hydrogen occurs only on one face.

i. Priority 1 is given to the largest atom at 1st point of difference (Cahn-Ingold Prelog Rules). Remaining groups are numbered 2 through 4 according to priority.
ii. The molecule is oriented so the group with the lowest priority (4) is pointing into the pageiii. The rotation of groups 1 through 3 gives either an R (Clockwise) or S (Counterclockwise) assignment

Assigning R/S 23
(C) Pavel SedachLearnfaster.ca
If the least important group is not pointing into the page, you can any two groups to get the opposite stereochemistry and assign as normal. Then, because you switched two groups, the original compound MUST have opposite stereochemistry.
If you flip any two groups you have the opposite stereochemistry. Try it out:
Least important group is in the plane of the page SO we switch it with the hash group
I assigned the structure at right, then used that information to assign the original structure at left.Because the result of flipping any two groups was R, the original must be S.

How do we deal with the complete hydrogenation of alkynes? We �poison� the catalyst!

(Lindlar�s catalyst)������ �������� �
Sodium metal reacts breaks the triple bond and forms a carbanion (a ���, yes, a carbon atom literally has a lone pair and a negative charge). This carbanion then react with ammonia and takes a hydrogen. The process repeats on the opposite side of the newly formed stable trans alkene.
Note: Do NOT confuse ������ ���with �����. If you add ����� to an alkyne that has an H, you deprotonate it and make it a good reagent for substitution. ������ ���on the other hand reduces the alkyne to a trans alkene.

Nitriles and ethers also have very indicative peaks but typically aren�t included on the test. We don�t learn nitrile reactions but they can be reduced to amines just like carboxylic acids can be reduced to alcohols.
Number of NMR peaks = Number of types of Hs
Key Functional Groups for 1H NMRCarboxylic acids (10-12 ppm), aldehydes (9-10), ppm. The rest are typical a certain distance from alkyl halides so you say alkanes from 0 to 5. If there�s 1 proton, it�s a CH, 2 protons is a ����, 3 protons is a ����, 6 protons is two identical ����s � so they�re usually off of one carbon.
The same functional groups above are found in 13C NMR and you are provided the shift tables.

Least important group in the plane of the page? Switch the least important group with whatever is going into page, assign then flip.4. For Newman projections or additions, attempt to see which way the least important groups is pointing and assign relative to that.

Oxidation Number 67
(C) Pavel SedachLearnfaster.ca
Formal charge is the number of extra electrons present on an atom. Oxidation number is how those electrons are used by the atom � does the atom keep all the charge or is there a large molecular dipole towards a more electronegative atom?
*The subscripts on the atoms simply indicate which oxygen or carbon is being discussed

Resonance 70
(C) Pavel SedachLearnfaster.ca
Resonance is the movement of electrons through � �� bonds (any bond above a single bond).Resonance essentially distributes electron density or charge across the whole molecule rather than keeping it on one atom - thiskeeps things stable.
Cannot have resonance: Can have resonance:
Has major and minor structures
The ideal resonance structure (1) does not violate the octet rule, (2) minimizes formal charge (as few +s and -s as possible), and, if formal charge is unavoidable, places the � (minus) formal charge on the most electronegative atom.
Cannot have resonance:
Has major and minor structures
Can have resonance:
major minor
0 � bonds and therefore NO resonance!
