PrefaceThe guiding principle in writing this book was to create a textbook for students- a textbookthat presents the material in a way that they learn to solve all the questions along withthe strategy to approach the problems.In this book we mixed all our teaching experience of 12 years along with theoratical andexperimental knowledge to generate a hand book for all students to reason their way to asolution rather than memorize a multitude of facts, hoping they don’t run out of memory.This book covers mainly 4 units with 61 sections which are real tools of Organicchemistry, which a students must know before dealing any chemical reactions.Organic chemistry is very easy and conceptual subject and need proper understanding ofthe basics and stretegy to solve the questions in corret manner.This book will prepare your right mindset for learning Organic Chemistry. This mindset isessentially the one that focuses you on a small number of straight forward, repeated, fun-damental concepts and helps you to apply them in different ways to solve the variety ofproblems you face in organic chemistry.This book is complete as it not only covers theory in proper sequence but also providevarieties of questions along with 10 test papers to judge your knowledge before going tostart chemical reactions.This book also covers all the questions of AIEEE, IIT-Mains, IIT-Advanced, AIPMT & othermedical exams from 2000 to 2016.In this book balance has to be achieved between the number of questions and the quality ofthe questions, especially because it is relatively easy to frame a very large number ofmultiple-choice questions and theory of the subject.The questions in this book have been selected keeping three things in mind.First- the questions are such that they really test the understanding of the subject.Second- the questions cover all concepts.Third- the number of questions has been kept large enough to offer meaningful practice tothe students.We would like to thank the editors and production staff for their efforts in bringing out thebook. Suggestions from readers for the improvement of the book are welcome.

Basic understanding of Organic Chemistry

We wrote this book for one simple reason : We love writing. We get greatpleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it arounduntil we see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simplewords. We write to explain chemistry to students today the way we wish ithad been explained to us years ago.

Have you ever thought that when you read anything from “any book” your eyes use an organiccompound (retinal) to convert visible light into nerve impulses. When you pick up this book from anyplace, your muscles do chemical reactions on sugars to give you energy. As you read the words andsentences of this book, gaps between your brain cells are being bridged by simple organic molecules(neurotransmitter amines) so that nerve impulse can be passed around your brain and you can understandall matters correctly and you did all that without consciously thinking about it.

You do not yet understand these processes in your mind but you are regularly carrying them outin your brain & body.

What is Organic chemistry?Why do so many people study it?And why should I study it?The answer to these questions is all around you. Every living organism is made up of organic

compounds. The proteins that make your hair, skin and muscles; the DNA that controls your geneticheritage; the food that nourish you; the clothes that keep you warm and the medicines that heal you, areall organic chemicals. Anyone with a curiosity about life and living things must have a basic understandingof organic chemistry.

The foundation of organic chemistry dates from the mid 1700s, when chemistry was evolving fromalchemist’s art into a modern science. At that time unexplainable differences were noted betweensubstances obtained from living sources and those obtained from mineral sources. Compounds obtainedfrom plants and animals were often difficult to isolate, purify and even difficult to work. The Swedishchemist Torbern Bergman in 1770 was the first to differentiate “organic” and “inorganic” substancesand the term organic chemistry soon came to mean the chemistry of compounds found in living organism.

To many chemists at that time the only explanation for the differences in behavior of organic andinorganic compound was that the organic compounds must contain a peculiar “vital force” as a result oftheir origin in living substance. Due to this vital force theory chemist believed that organic compoundscould not be prepared and manipulated in the laboratory, as could inorganic compounds.

In 1816, however this vital force theory received a heavy blow when Michel Chevreul found thatsoap, prepared by the reaction of alkali with animal fatcould be separated into several pure organiccompounds,which he termed “fatty acid”. For the first time, one organic substance (fat) was convertedinto other organic substances (fatty acids and glycerin).

In 1828, vital force theory again got a heavy blow when Friedrich Wöhler prepared organic compoundurea, of human urine from inorganic compound ammonium cyanate.

What is Organic Chemistry

By the mid of 1800s, the weight of evidence was clearly against the vital force theory which ledWilliam Brande in 1848 to write “No definite line can be drawn between organic and inorganicchemistry......... Any distinction........ Must for the present be merely considered as matters of practicalconvenience calculated to further the progress of students”.

Chemistry today is unified. The same principles that explain the simplest inorganic compoundsalso explain the most complex organic ones. The only distinguishing characteristic of organic chemistryis that all contains the element carbon. Nevertheless, the division between organic and inorganic chemistry,which began for historical reasons, maintains its practical convenience... to further the progress of students.So, in general

“Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry which deals with carbon and its compounds”

From the periodic table we can easily find that it comprises of seven periods and eighteen groups.First and second groups elements are called as s block elements, thirteen to eighteen group elements arecalled p block elements, third to twelve group elements are d block while La to Lr which are downsideare called as f block elements.

When we carefully analyze the periodic table, it is clear that position of carbon is in second periodand fourteenth group and carbon is a non-metal.

Carbon is the basic element for life but it forms its compounds by combination with other elementssuch as H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, S, P etc.

In Organic chemistry we mainly deal with Structural determination – How to find out the structures of new compounds, even if they are

available only in invisibly small amount. Theoretical organic chemistry – How to understand those structures in terms of atoms and the

electrons that binds them together. Reaction mechanism – How to find out how those molecules reacts with each other and to

predict their reactions. Biological chemistry – How to find out what nature does and how the structures of biologically

active molecules are related to what they do.

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds that contain carbon but there are some other elementstoo associated with it such as H, O, and N. We know that carbon is tetravalent in nature and formcovalent compounds by sharing of electrons by generally H, F, Cl, Br, I, N, O, S and P. For sake ofsimplicity all halogens are generally represented by X. In the study of molecules, you will notice thatoxygen has two covalent bonds, nitrogen has three covalent bonds and carbon has four covalent bondswhen they are neutral. Neutral hydrogen & halogens each have one covalent bond. If atoms have morebonds or fewer bonds than the number required for neutral molecule then they would have either aformal charge or an unpaired electron. These numbers are very much important to remember when youare first drawing structures of organic compounds because they provide a quick way to recognize whenyou have made a mistake.

C N O H F Cl Br I X

This covalent bond may be of sigma ( )or pi ( ). Sigma bond is formed by lateral overlapping oforbitals. It may be of s-s, s-p or p-p but pi bonds are formed by sidewise overlapping of p-p orbitals interms of organic chemistry.

Representation of Organic Compounds

Basic understanding of organic chemistry

Learning is easy at www.CoachMe.co.in 7

As sigma bonds are strong as compared to pi bonds so generally pi bonds are involved in chemicalreaction with reagent, if present in molecule. When we compare the bond strength of bonds formed bys-p & p-p overlapping; p-p bond is stronger so generally s-p bond break on treatment with suitablereagent, such as in case of alkanes.

Organic chemistry concerns itself with the way in which these atoms are bonded together into stablemolecular structures and the way in which these structures change during chemical reactions.

For this organic molecules are represented by several ways1. Lewis structure or dot structure –Here valence electrons in a molecule are represented as dots.

When you draw Lewis structure you must make sure that hydrogen atom is surrounded by nomore than two electrons, and C, O, N and halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) atoms are surrounded by no morethan eight electrons. In other words, they must obey the octet rule. The valence electrons notused in bonding are called as non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons. Lewis structuresare useful because they show us which atoms are bonded together and tell us whether any atompossess lone pair of electrons or have a formal charge.

.. .. H.2. Dash structure or Kekule structure–In this representation, dash represents the bonds. Single

dash represents a single bond, double dash is used for double bond of any type such as of C=C,C=N, C=S etc. and triple dash represent triple bond of any type such as C C or C N, etc. In thisrepresentation lone pair of electrons of hetero atoms (O, N, S, and P etc.) may or may not beshown. This representation gives complete structural formula of any molecule.

3. Condensed structure –In condensed structural representation, dash structures can furtherabbreviated by omitting some or all of the dashes representing covalent bonds and by indicatingthe number of identical groups attached to an atom by a subscript. The resulting expression ofthe compound is now called a condensed structural formula. For example, CH3CH3, CH2=CH2,CH CH, CH3OH. Similarly, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 can be further condensed toCH3(CH2)6CH3.

4. Bond line structure – In this representation of organic molecules, carbon and hydrogen atomsbonded to carbon are not shown and the lines representing carbon-carbon bonds are drawn inzigzag fashion.

Even without writing the hydrogen atoms we know that they are there and we assume that anycarbon atom that does not appear to have its potential for four bonds satisfied is also attached to theappropriate number of hydrogen atoms.

We also rub out all the C representing carbon atoms and write only zig-zag line assuming that everykink in the line represents carbon atom.

As the functional groups are the key to the organic chemistry so they are specifically shown if presentso the only atoms specifically written are heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, halogens, which makesthe functional groups, which we will discuss later.

Organic molecules should be drawn to be realistic, economical and clear so here are 3 guidelines,which help you make structure more realistic. Guideline 1- Draw the chain of atoms as zigzag. Guideline 2 – Miss out the hydrogen attach to carbon atoms, along with the C-H bonds. Guideline 3 – Miss out the capital C representing carbon atoms.5. 3D structure – Of course, all the structures we have drawn give only an idea of the real structure

of the molecules. For example, the central carbon atom of CH3CH(NH2)COOH has tetrahedralarrangement around it but so far we have completely ignored it. Now we want to emphasizethis fact, so for this 3D structure of molecules are written using wedge-dashed projection andFischer projection.

A. Wedge-dash projection or perspective formula:-In this wedge-dash projection, the solid wedge ( ) is used to indicate a bond projectingabove the plane of paper, towards the observer and dashed wedge ( ) is used to depict thebond projecting below the plane of the paper and away from the observer. The bonds lying inthe plane of the paper are depicted by using a normal line ( ).

Sometime we could miss out the hydrogen atom and draw something bit neater though slightly lessrealistic. Here we assume the missing hydrogen atom is below or above the plane by looking the 3attachments. If two bonds are in the plane and one is above the plane then hydrogen must be certainlybelow the plane and similarly if two bonds are in the plane and one is below the plane then hydrogenmust be above the plane.

What makes the carbon so special?What is it that sets carbon apart from all other elements in the periodic table?Why are there so many organic compounds?The answer lies in carbon’s position in the periodic table. Carbon is in the centre of second row

elements

Elements of the second row of the periodic table

First think why molecules are formed from atoms? It is because of the reason that atoms combineswith same or with other atoms to form molecule so as to complete its octet and attain lower energy stateand hence become stable. That is the reason why noble gases are considered as inert gases, they generallydo not combine with itself or with other atoms because they have complete octet. But what about otheratoms? They have incomplete octet, so they must combines with same or other atoms to form moleculefor better stability.

Elements on the left hand side of carbon have less than 4 electrons in the valence shell (Li-1, Be-2, B-3) so they have more tendencies to loose electron to attain noble gas configuration for stability. That’swhy they generally forms compounds with Li+, Be2+, B3+ by losing 1, 2, 3 electrons respectively. Elementspresent downside in the same group too have similar tendency as that of Li, Be and B, hence formcompounds in the following states; Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Al3+, Ga3+,etc.

Elements on the right hand side of carbon have more than 4 electrons in the valence shell (N-5, O-6,F-7). To complete their octet, valence electrons must be subtracted from 8 that’s why the valency of N is(8-5) i.e. 3, O is (8-6) i.e. 2 and that of F is (8-7) i.e. 1. It is much easier to gain 3, 2, 1 electrons to completetheir octet as compared to loosing 5,6,7 electrons to complete their octet. So these elements have moretendency to gain electrons and form compounds in the following states; N3-, P3-, As3-, Sb3-, Bi3-, O2-, S2-, Se2-

, Te2-, Po2-, F-, Cl-, Br-, I- .As elements present on the left hand side of carbon loose electrons to form compounds and elements

of right hand side gain electrons to form compounds so compounds formed are ionic in nature.But think about carbon and the elements present down side, which are present in the middle of each

period and have equal tendency to loose or gain electrons as they have 4 electrons in their octet. This led

carbon and other elements of this group (Si, Ge, Sn & Pb) to share electrons with itself and other elementsof periodic table to complete octet. As these compounds are formed by sharing of electrons so they areconsidered to be covalently bonded.

Carbon by sharing its electrons with other carbon atoms leads to formation of long chain carboncompounds which may be single, double or triple bonded, cyclic or acyclic, linear or branched. This self-linking property of carbon is called catenation. All the atoms of 14th group show the property of catenationbut it decreases down the group because of weak overlapping due to large size and follows order:

C > Si >> Ge > Sn > PbCarbon may also form multiple bonds with N, P, O, S etc. forming large number of functional group,

which we will discuss later.This is not the end of compound formation. Carbon forms many abnormal compounds with elements

of s, p & d blocks. So for sake of simplicity we are constructing an organic chemist’s periodic table withthe most important elements emphasized.

Elements, which are in dark box, are generally involved in making organic compounds along withdeuterium (D), which is an isotope of hydrogen (H).

As there are large number of atoms in periodic table which have valence electrons, atomic orbital ofcarbon may overlap with them and share its electron to form large number of compounds. But for thatmany other factors such as size, activation energy, electronegativity, electron affinity, catenation etc. areresponsible which all come under one word “Position” i.e. position of carbon in the periodic table. Thisword “position” include everything related with molecule formation therefore the main reason behindlarge number of organic compound is the position of carbon in the periodic table.

A functional group is an atom such as halogen (-X) or group of atoms such as carboxylic acid(-COOH) in a molecule that gives the molecule its characteristic chemical properties. They are the actiongroup or reactive site in a chemical reaction and the remaining hydrocarbon part remains inert.Eachfunctional group undergoes characteristic chemical reaction so by recognizing them it is possible topredict the reaction, which that molecule undergoes.

The concept of functional group is important for organic chemistry due to 3 reasons: Each functional group shows its characteristic chemical reaction i.e. a particular functional group

shows same nature of chemical reaction when present in any compound. Functional group helps in nomenclature of organic compounds. Each functional group have a

secondary suffix for it such as oic acid for carboxylic acid, ol for alcohol, etc. Functional group serves to classify organic compounds into different classes or families i.e.

Compounds with same functional group belong to same class.A molecule may have more than one functional group and are called as poly functional group

compounds or simply poly functional compounds and properties of each functional group may bemodified by the presence of other.

Functional group with bond only-Carbon may combine with those atoms which needs 1 electron for completing their octet (suchas hydrogen or halogen) or with some groups which require one electron for completing octetsuch as alkyl group (–CH3, –CH2CH3, etc.), hydroxyl group (–OH), alkoxy group (–OCH3 ,–OCH2CH3), amino group ( –NH2), thiol group ( –SH) or thioether (–SCH3) to form correspondingfunctional groups.

Carbon do not form 3 bonds with any atomAs the size of carbon is so small it do not form compounds which have 3 bonds. This does not

mean that no compound with 3– bonds exists. There are some d block elements, which form 3 bondsand total four bonds. In that case there are 1 , 2 & 1 bonds. This bond indicates the 3rd bond.

Stable quadruple bonds are most common among the transition metals such as rhenium, tungsten,molybdenum & chromium. Some common examples are

Along with these functional groups there are some other functional groups which are alsoencountered in organic chemistry. So learn these too with very carefully so that your understandingabout functional group should be crystal clear. We have used R for alkyl group, which means simply thehydrocarbon part of the molecule. It may be acyclic or cyclic but attachments are same as given above orbelow. For more simplicity treat R as C so that you should get a better observation in molecules. Theseadditional functional groups are

A series of compounds in which members have same functional group but differ by one or more

2–CH – units (molecular weight 14 or multiple of 14) is called Homologous series (homos is Greek wordwhich means the same as). Members of homologous series are called homologues. Homologues are thecompounds with same general formula and possess similar chemical properties due to presence of samefunctional group (if any) i.e. all carboxylic acids are homologues to each other starting from formic acid(HCOOH) to any carboxylic acid with formula RCOOH where R is any acyclic saturated alkyl group. Allalkanes starting from one carbon to infinite carbon are homologues.

Carboxylic acid Ester

As the compounds within a homologous series have the same general molecular formulaand the same functional group (amines, alcohol, carboxyl acid, ester, alkane, alkene, alkyneetc.), so they can be prepared using similar methods. Such as

O

3CHRCu/Heat

OH

3CHR

We can prepare any methyl ketone from any alcohol having CH3CH(OH)– (by changing thenumber of carbon in R) as Cu/heat is used to convert secondary alcohol into ketone, which wewill study later. Similarly we can prepare any carboxylic acid from primary alcohol (by changingthe number of carbon in R) using KMnO4/heat

O4KMnO /Heat

RR OHOH

Compounds within a homologous series show gradual change in physical properties due toincreased molecular size and mass, caused by the longer carbon chains. For example, ethane(CH3CH3), has a higher boiling point than methane (CH4). It is because of the reason that ethanemolecule experiences intermolecular attraction force than methane, as in a large molecule, theelectron cloud tends to be distorted at random to a greater extent. Thus, the London DispersionForces between ethane molecules are higher than that between methane molecules, resulting instronger forces of intermolecular attraction, raising the boiling point.

By observing the relative number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in acyclic alkanes it hasgeneral formula CnH2n+2 where n is any integer. So if alkane has 1 carbon atom it must have 4hydrogen atoms; if it has 2 carbon atoms then it must have 6 hydrogen atoms and so on. As weknow that carbon form s fou r covalent bond s and hyd rogen form s only one so there i s only onepossible structure for an alkane with molecular formula CH4 (methane) and only one structurefor an alkane with formula C2H6 (ethane). As the number of carbon increases the number ofpossible structures also increases. For example C4H10 have two, C5H12 have three, C6H14 have 5,and C7H16 have 9 possible structures. This number increases very rapidly as the number of carbonincreases such as C10H22 have 75 and C15H32 have 4347 possible structures which we will call lateras constitutional isomers.

As C15H32 have 4347 possible structures but all are having same molecular formula so they aresimply constitutional isomers which we will study later but starting from CH4, C2H6, C3H8 toC15H32 they differ (CH2)n unit, so they all are considered as homologues and have same nature ofchemical reactions and method of preparation. We use only the letter R for general alkyl group(alkane –1H) starting from 1 to infinite.

When you carefully look over the organic compounds then you will find that carbon atoms are bondedwith other carbon atom or some other atoms such as H, N, S, P, O, X etc. to form molecule. This differencein attachment leads to difference in rate of chemical reactions. So it is important to analyze carefully theatoms directly attached to carbon in any organic molecule. On the basis of attachment of carbon withother carbon atoms, the carbon atoms in organic compounds are classified into four types Primary carbon (10C) – Carbon attached to none or one carbon is called as primary carbon. In

case when no other carbon is attached then such carbon is sometime called as super primarycarbon such as CH4.

Secondary carbon (20C) –Carbon attached to two carbons is called as secondary carbon. Tertiary carbon (30C) – Carbon attached to three carbon is called as tertiary carbon. Quaternary carbon (40C) – Carbon attached to four carbon is called as quaternary carbon.These carbon atoms may be in open chain or in ring; they may be neutral, charged or in radical form.

But the important part is the attachment with other atoms and for simplicity they are generally writtenwith single bonded forms. These forms may be derived from alkane, alkyl halide, alcohol, ether, amines,thioethers, thiols, etc.

Hydrogen’s attached at primary, secondary, tertiary carbons are called primary, secondary &tertiary hydrogen respectively. It is important to note that carbons are of four types buthydrogen’s are only of three types, as quaternary carbon does not have any hydrogen.

Only in case of methane primary carbon have 4 H but in all other alkanes and cycloalkanes each10, 20, 30 carbon have 3, 2, 1 H respectively. To find out total number of 10, 20, 30,40 carbon and 10,20, 30 hydrogen’s you have to count all the carbons or hydrogen of similar types.

In organic compounds other than alkane or cycloalkanes you must be more careful in reportingthe number H as individual carbon may have any number of H ranging from 3 to 0 as thesehydrogen are already replaced with some other atoms or groups.

In organic chemistry when we look over the molecules we will find that some molecules are onlysingle bonded but some molecules are multiple bonded and that multiple bond may be of many typessuch as double bonds of C=C, C=N, C=O, C=S or triple bonds of C N or C C. To differentiate thesecompounds word saturated and unsaturated is used.

To understand these terms, take a glass full of water and add a spoon of sugar in it and stir it withspoon. You will find that whole sugar dissolves in it. But when you continuously go on adding spoons ofsugar in it and stirring it then after some time you will find that dissolution stop and sugar settles at thebottom of it. At that time you will say that no more sugar is dissolving in it i.e. it is saturated. Similarlywhen no further bond can be added to a molecule at room temperature then such compounds are calledas saturated compounds and if further bonds can be added in it then they are called as unsaturatedcompounds. As we know that single bond has no tendency to add anything at room temperature andhave only tendency to substitute some atom or group so they are considered as saturated compoundsand multiple bonded compounds have tendency to add bond so they are considered as unsaturatedcompounds.

Saturated compounds may be cyclic or acyclic; may be only of carbon and hydrogen or may havesome hetero atoms such as halogens, nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur. The multiple bond may be of anyform such as C=C, C=N, C=O, C=S, C N or C C with or without rings.

If compounds are saturated with presence of only carbon & hydrogen then such compounds arecalled as saturated hydrocarbon, such as alkane and cycloalkane but if any hydrogen in it is replacedwith any other atom or group such as –Cl, –OH, –NH2, –SH then they are considered as derivatives ofsaturated hydrocarbons. Similarly if compounds are unsaturated and have only carbon & hydrogen,they are called as unsaturated hydrocarbon such as alkene, alkyne, cycloalkenes & cycloalkynes but ifhydrogen in it is replaced with any atom or group then they are considered as derivatives of unsaturatedhydrocarbon.

When you again carefully analyze the functional groups you will find that some functional groupshave presence of carbon within it such as nitrile (–CN), aldehyde (-CHO), ketone (-CO-), carboxylic acid(-COOH), acid halide (-COX), acid anhydride (-COOCO-), ester (-COOC), amide (-CONH2) etc but somefunctional groups do not have carbons such as amine (–NH2), alcohol (-OH), thiol (-SH), nitro (-NO2),Sulphonic acid (-SO3H), ether (-O-), thioether (-S-), etc.

In organic chemistry some common positions such as zero (0), alpha ( ) , beta ( ) , gamma ( ) , delta

( ) , and epsilon ( ) have been commonly encountered so we must have a clear cut picture of it too.

If any functional group do not have carbon in it then the carbon directly attach to it is given theposition alpha followed by beta, gamma, delta and epsilon to next carbons in sequence such as

When we carefully look over the organic molecules we will find that some carbon atom is singlebonded while some others are multiple bonded. These single or multiple bonds create some fixed shapeor geometry in molecule such as linear, planner, tetrahedral, etc. Molecular geometry or molecularstructure is the 3-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It determines severalproperties of a substance including its reactivity, polarity, phase of matter, color, magnetic properties,and even biological activities. The molecular geometry can be determined by various spectroscopicmethods & diffraction methods such as Infrared (IR), microwave & Raman spectroscopy can giveinformation about the molecule geometry. X-ray crystallography, Neutron diffraction and Electrondiffraction can give molecular structure for crystalline solids based on the distance between nuclei andconcentration of electron density. Gas electron diffraction can be used for small molecules in the gasphase. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) & Förster (Fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET)methods can be used to determine complementary information including relative distances, dihedralangles, angles, and connectivity. Molecular geometries are best determined at low temperature and canbe different as a solid, in solution, and as a gas.

As you learned earlier that these single or multiple bonds are formed by overlapping of atomicorbitals either by axial overlapping or by lateral overlapping, molecular geometries can be specified interms of bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles.The bond length is defined to be the averagedistance between the centers of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angle is theangle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain,the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formedby the last three atoms.

To explain the shape of any molecule new concept of hybridization was proposed which is mixing ofatomic orbitals of same or nearly same energy and redistribution of energy to form new hybrid orbitalsof equal energy and same shape. So hybridization is simply a mathematical approach to explain theshape of any molecule i.e. if a molecule is tetrahedral then its tetrahedral shape is explained by sp3

hybridization and similarly if a molecule is planner then to explain it we have to use the concept of sp2

hybridization and for linear molecules sp hybridization. In organic chemistry when we have to find outhybridization of any atom always count the number of sigma bond and lone pair of electrons present onit (if any).

As organic compounds are carbon containing compounds and carbon has only s and p orbitals so thehybridization commonly observed in organic chemistry are sp, sp² & sp³. To calculate hybridization ofany atom always counts the number of sigma bonds and lone pair of electrons present on it. If the sum of number of sigma bonds and lone pair of electrons = 2, atom have sp hybridization. If the sum of number of sigma bonds and lone pair of electrons = 3, atom have sp² hybridization. If the sum of number of sigma bond and lone pair of electrons = 4, atom have sp³ hybridization.There is no role of positive charge in calculating the hybridization of any atom as that contains no

electrons or bonds. Negative charge is also considered as 2 electrons system similar to lone pair.

Up to this point you are familiar with the common functional groups, saturated and unsaturatedcompounds with their hybridization and shape so now we can classify the organic compounds intodifferent categories on the basis of their shape and stability. Organic compounds are divided into twoclasses- Acyclic or aliphatic & cyclic compound. Acyclic compounds or aliphatic compounds are thosewhich do not have any ring. The word aliphatic comes from aleiphar which mean fat or oil. Here carbonatoms can be joined together in straight chains or branched chains. They can be saturated, joined bysingle bonds (alkanes), or unsaturated, with double bonds (alkenes) or triple bonds (alkynes). Besideshydrogen, other elements can be bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen,sulfur and halogen. The simplest aliphatic compound is methane (CH4). If aliphatic compounds arecyclic in nature then such compounds are called as alicyclic (Aliphatic + cyclic) such as cycloalkanes,cycloalkenes, cycloalkynes, cyclic esters, cyclic ketones etc. Aromatic compounds are the most important class of organic molecules due to their extra stability.

Many natural products such as DNA, RNA, hemoglobin, chlorophyll, medicines, and polymersare aromatic in nature. For a compound to show aromatic nature it must follow these fourconditions.

(I) Compounds should have at least one ring.(II) Each atom of the ring should have sp² or sp hybridization, no matter it is made up of C, N, S, O

or any other atom.(III) The ring should be planner or nearly planner, so that effective overlapping of pi bond is possible.(IV) The ring should follow Huckel’s rule i.e. the ring must have (4n + 2) electrons, where n is any

number starting from 0 to . If the value of n=0, ring must have 2 electrons; for n=1, 6 electrons must be present and so on.

If any compound violates any of the above conditions then it will not be considered as aromatic andnot get extra stability. For example, Hexa-1,3,5-triene (CH2=CH–CH=CH–CH=CH2) follows last threeconditions but violates the first one so is not an aromatic compounds. Aromatic compounds are further of two types – one with attachment of benzene nucleus and

other with absence of benzene nucleus. Those which contain benzene ring are called benzenoidwhile those which do not have benzene ring are considered as non-benzenoid.

Cyclic system may be homocyclic (carbocyclic) where each atom of the ring is made up of carbonor may be heterocyclic where at least one atom of the ring is hetero atom such as N, S or O.

Anti- Aromatic compounds are very unstable compounds at room temperature so they eitherdimerize or trimerise to become alicyclic one.

Theoretically Antiaromatic compounds follow these 4 conditions: Compounds should have at least one ring. All atoms of ring should have sp² or sp hybridization, no matter it is made up of C, N, S, O or any

other atom. The ring should be planner or nearly planner, but it is important to note that there no effective

overlapping of pi bond is observed. Compound will not follow Huckel’s rule and ring must have (4n) electrons, where n = 1 to

When we carefully look over the cyclic saturated compounds we find that each atom is sp3 hybridizedso it must have bond angle 109028´ but in cycloalkanes this angle is mathematically 180-(360/n) where nis the number of atoms making ring i.e. in Cyclopropane this angle is 600; in Cyclobutane it is 900and soon. This difference in desired bond angle and real bond angle causes strain in bond which affects thereactivity as well as stability of molecule. Greater is the deviation from the theoretical angle greater is thestrain. To calculate the distortion or strain in ring we assume the atoms of ring in a plane, such as incyclopropane, all the 3 carbon atoms occupy one corner of an equilateral triangle with bond angle 600. Astwo corners bent themselves to form bond so strain too is divided equally. So strain in cyclopropane willbe ½ (109028´ – 600) = +24044´.

109°28'24°44'

Deviation of bond angle in cyclopropane from normal tetrahedral angle

Distortion or strain = ½ (109028´ – bond angle of ring). So angle strains in some cycloalkanes arelisted in the table below.

From the table it is clear that cyclopropane has the maximum distortion, so it is highly strainedmolecule and consequently more reactive than any of the monocyclic alkanes, which is clear from thereaction that ring can be opened very easily to relieve strain on reaction with Br2, HBr or H2/Ni at hightemperature. In contrast, cyclopentane & cyclohexane have least strain so they are found more readilyand are very stable as compared to cyclopropane.

Baeyer strain theory satisfactorily explains the typical reactivity and stability of smaller rings (fromC3 to C5) i.e. Stability order follows : Cyclopropane< Cyclobutane < Cyclopentane

11Section

Baeyer’s strain theory

But not valid for cyclohexane onwards because the strain again increases with the increase in numberof carbon atom but actually large rings are more stable. So molecular orbital theory is also consideredaccording to which covalent bond is formed by coaxial overlapping of atomic orbitals. The greater is theextent of overlap the stronger is the bond formed. In case of sp3 carbon, C-C bond will have maximumstrength if the C-C-C bonds have th e angle 109028´. If cyclopropane is an equilateral triangle then thebond angle of each C-C-C bond would be 600. Therefore it was proposed by Couson that in cyclopropanethe sp3 hybridized orbitals are not present exactly in one straight line due to mutual repulsion of orbitalof these bonds resulting thereby loss of overlap. This loss of overlap weakens the bond and is responsiblefor its instability and strain in molecule. Similarly, in case of cyclobutane, there is also loss of overlap butthe loss is less than in cyclopropane, so cyclobutane is more stable than cyclopropane. Overlapping oforbitals in large ring compound (5 or more carbon atoms) is however much better which accounts for thegreater stability of such compounds.

It is natural that when a molecule has strain within it, it will affect the stability of molecule. Thestability of molecule can be calculated easily by measuring heat of combustion which will give the measureof total strain and thermochemical stability which can be calculated mathematically.

Total strain = (No of C atom in the ring × observed heat of combustion/CH2) - observed heat ofcombustion/CH2 for n alkane.

From the data above it is clear that strain decreases from C3 to C6 i.e. stability increases, but stabilityagain deteriorates from C7 to C11 ring system but interestingly increases from C12and attain the samestability of six membered ring. According to this theory, the carbon atoms in 5 membered and smallerrings can lie in one plane as explained by Baeyer but Sachse suggested that in six membered and higherrings the carbon atoms are present in different plane i.e. the ring is puckered. In this way the normalvalency angle 109028´ is retained and the ring produced is completely strainless. Thus he proposed thatcyclohexane exist in two puckered forms as boat and chair form in which chair form is more stable.These forms are readily interconvertible through half chair and twist boat forms simply by rotationabout the single bonds which we will study later in conformation.

These forms of cyclohexane are to give a real picture of it but on paper we commonly make itsplanner form.

In general organiccompounds(A) React more slowly and required higher temperature for reaction.(B) Undergoes more complex reactions and produce side products.(C) Has lower melting and boiling points with low solubility in water.(D) Are classified into families of compounds such as alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acid etc which

have different reactive groups so have different chemical reactions.02. Position of carbon in the periodic table.03. Urea04. Carbon05. 2nd period & 14th group.06. In trying to explain why atoms form bonds, Lewis proposed that an atom is most stable if it has

a filled outermost shell or an outer shell of eight electrons, which is called as Octet rule.According to it, an atom will give up, accept, or share electrons in order to achieve a filled shellor an outer shell that contains 8 electrons.

07. Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functionalgroup to attract the bond pair electrons towards itself. An atom’s electronegativity is affected byboth its atomic number and the distance that its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus.The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element attracts electronstowards it. There are many scales to measure it but Pauling scale is most common among these.Electron affinity of an atom or molecule is the amount of energy released when an electron isadded to a neutral atom or molecule to form a negative ion.

– –X e X

This property is measured for atoms and molecules in the gaseous state only, since in the solid orliquid states their energy levels would be changed by contact with other atoms or molecules.

the same number of protons but differs in its number of neutrons. The term isotope is formedfrom the Greek words “isos” means “equal” and “topos” means “place”, hence: “the same place,”meaning that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodictable. The number of protons within the atom’s nucleus uniquely identifies an element, but agiven element may in principle have any number of neutrons. The number of nucleons (protonsand neutrons) in the nucleus is the mass number, and each isotope of a given element has adifferent mass number. For example, C-12, C-13 & C-14 are three isotopes of the element carbonwith mass numbers 12, 13 and 14 respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6 which meansthat every carbon atom has 6 protons, so that the neutron number of these isotopes are 6,7 & 8respectively.H have three naturally occurring isotopes, sometimes denoted as 1H (Hydrogen), 2H (Deuterium,D), and 3H(Tritium, T) with 1 proton and 1, 2 , 3 neutron respectively.

19. Each isotopes of oxygen have 8 protons & 8 electrons but have 8,9,10 neutrons respectively.20. Aufbau principle (German word, Aufbau meaning “building up, construction”) is used to

determine the electronic configuration of an atom, molecule or ion. The principle postulates ahypothetical process in which an atom is “built up” by progressively adding electrons. As theyare added, they assume their most stable conditions (electron orbital) with respect to the nucleusand those electrons already there. According to the principle, electrons fill orbitals starting atthe lowest available (possible) energy levels before filling higher levels (e.g. 1s before 2s). Thenumber of electrons that can occupy each orbital is limited by the Pauli Exclusion Principle&Hund’s rule.

Basic understanding of organic chemistry

Learning is easy at www.CoachMe.co.in 41

21. Pauli Exclusion Principle is the quantum mechanical principle that states that no two identicalfermions (particles with half-integer spin) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.A more rigorous statement is that the total wave function for two identical fermions is antisymmetric with respect to exchange of the particles. For example, no two electrons in a singleatom can have the same four quantum numbers; if n,l, and ml are the same, ms must be differentsuch that the electrons have opposite spins, and so on.

22. Hund’s rules refer to a set of rules which are used to determine the term symbol that correspondsto the ground state of a multi electrons atom. In chemistry, the first rule is especially importantand is often referred to as simply Hund’s rule. For a given electronic configuration, the term with maximum multiplicity has the lowest

energy. The multiplicity is equal to2S + 1, where S is the total spin angular momentum forall electrons. The term with lowest energy is also the term with maximum S.

For a given multiplicity, the term with the largest value of the orbital angular momentumnumber L has the lowest energy.

For a given term, in an atom with outermost sub shell half-filled or less, the level with thelowest value of the total angular momentum quantum number J (for the operator J = L + S)lies lowest in energy. If the outermost shell is more than half-filled, the level with the highestvalue of  is lowest in energy.

These rules specify in a simple way how the usual energy interactions dictate the ground stateterm. The rules assume that the repulsion between the outer electrons is very much greater thanthe spin–orbit interaction which is in turn stronger than any other remaining interactions. Thisis referred to as the LS coupling regime. Full shells and sub shells do not contribute to the quantumnumbers for total S, the total spin angular momentum and for L, the total orbital angularmomentum. It can be shown that for full orbitals and sub orbitals both the residual electrostaticterm (repulsion between electrons) and the spin–orbit interaction can only shift all the energylevels together. Thus when determining the ordering of energy levels in general only the outervalence electrons need to be considered.

. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms. This sharing may befrom same atoms or from different atoms such as H or O. If atoms are same then bonds arepurely covalent but if atoms are different then such bonds are considered as polar covalent.Coordinate bond is also a type of covalent bond but here sharing of electrons takes place from asingle atom such as compound of NH3 BF3 in which N shares its electron with B.

27. Most polar is KCl & least polar is Cl2.28. The negative and positive ends of a polar bond makes it a dipole. The polarity of the dipole is

indicated by the dipole moment ( ). The dipole moment of a bond is the product of magnitudeof the charge (e) on the atom (either the partial positive charge or the partial negative chargebecause they have the same magnitude) and the distance between the two charges (d). Dipolemoment is measured in a unit called Debye (D).

= e × d29. Formal charge is the difference between the number of valence electrons an atom has when it is

not bonded to any atom and the number of electrons it actually “owns” when it is bonded. Anatom “owns” all of its nonbonding electrons and half of its bonding electrons.

Formal charge = No of valence electrons – (No of non bonding electrons + ½ No of bondingelectrons)

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons but “own” electrons of oxygen in H3O+ is 5 (2 non bonding plus3, half of six bonding). As the number of number of “own” electron is 1 less than its valenceelectron so its formal charge is 1.

31. If there was a full negative charge on the oxygen atom, the dipole moment would be(4.80 × 10-10 esu)×(1.22 × 10-8 cm) = 5.86 × 10-1 8 esu.cm = 5.86 DKnowing that the dipole moment is 2.30 D, partial positive charge on oxygen atom will be 2.30/5.86 = 0.39. From this we can conclude that oxygen has an excess of about 0.4 electron and carbonatom has a deficiency of 0 .4 electrons.

44. Homologues are the compounds with same general formula and possess similar chemicalproperties due to presence of same functional group (if any) i.e. all carboxylic acids arehomologues of each other starting from formic acid (HCOOH) to any carboxylic acid with formulaRCOOH where R is any acyclic saturated alkyl group. All alkanes starting from 1 carbon toinfinite carbon are homologues. Homologues differ by (CH2)n units. Homologues of Methane are Ethane, Propane, Butane & Pentane; Homologues of Formaldehyde (Methanal) are Ethanal, Propanal, Butanal and Pentanal; Homologues of Acetone are Butanone, Pentanone, Hexanone & Heptanone; Homologues of Formic acid are Acetic acid, Propanoic acid, Butanoic acid and Pentanoic

acid.45. Molecules with single functional groups are considerd to be derived from a hydrocarbon by replacing

one of its H atoms with a functional group. If the hydrocarbon is aliphatic then then the alkylgroup is represented by R, and the molecule containing functional group may be represented asRG where G is functional group such as RCl for alkyl chloride, ROH for alcohol and RCOOH forcarboxylic acid.

46. Compounds in homologous series differ by (CH2)n units which increases the size of alkyl group,so physical properties changes gradually such as general increase in melting point, boiling pointis observed with decrease in solubility in water. They undergo similar chemical reactions whoserate depends on the size of alkyl group and shape of molecule.

47. The word thio is usually used to indicate the presence of S. So sulphur analog of alcohol is thiol& ether is thioether.
