CHEMISTRY 有機化學
Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of compounds containing carbon.
Most of these compounds also contain hydrogen, oxygen or other elements.
Note: Carbon containing compounds such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, carbonic acid, metal
carbides, carbonates and hydrogencarbonates are not classified as organic compounds.
(I)
NATURAL SOURCES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Organic compounds are extremely important as they are found in living things. Many products and
materials are also organic products.
Naturally occurring
Synthetic
Fuels (e.g. coal crude oil)
in living orgainisms
Carbohydrates
plastics
gasoline
proteins
cosmetics, perfumes
kerosene
fats and oils
anaesthetics
many petroleum products
vitamins
dyes, explosives

THE UNIQUE NATURE OF CARBON 碳的獨特性
1.
Introduction
The carbon atoms has a unique property of forming many naturally occurring and synthetic
compounds with a narrow range of elements than all other elements.
Reasons : Carbon is able
<1> to extend its maximum covalency to four 均有形成四個共價鍵的趨勢
<2> to form stable bonds with itself.
e.g.
Chain structures
straight chain :
butane
polythene
<3>

branched chain :
2-methylbutane
Ring structures :
cyclohexane
form double and triple bonds amongst themselves or with other elements .

e.g
ethene
propyne
butanone
Physical properties
Organic compounds are usually
<1> covalent gases, volatile liquids or low melting solids
<2> insoluble in water (polar solvent) unless with the presence of some polar groups such as
-OH, -COOH, and –SO3H in the compounds
<3> more soluble in organic, non-polar solvents such as ethoxyethane/ether, trichloromethane.

Chemical properties
<1> The products yielded when burnt in excess oxygen are usually ,carbon dioxide
and water.
<2> They usually react more slowly than inorganic compounds. Energy in the
form of heat is usually required.
<3> The reactions are seldom complete reacted. Purification is usually
required to obtain the desired product.
<4> Organic compounds are often exist in groups or families (Homologous series)
having similar chemical properties and graduation of physical properties.
<5> They can exist in large amounts is due to the possibility of catenation and
isomerism in their compounds.
FUNCTIONAL GROUP AND HOMOLOGOUS SERIES 官能基及同系列
Functional Groups of Organic Compounds
The diversity of organic molecules are very often classified by the presence of functional, groups in the
molecules.
The functional group represents the part of molecule which gives a characteristic type of reactivity
upon the compound and effectively determines the compound’s chemical properties and many of its
physical properties as well.

General Introduction to the major families of Organic Compounds
(A) Hydrocarbons 碳氫化合物:
The families of organic compounds whose molecules contain
carbon and hydrogen only.
Alkanes — contain only C—C single bond between carbon atoms
Alkenes — contain a C=C double bond
Alkynes — contain a CC triple bond
Aromatic Hydrocarbons — contain an aromatic ring
Alkanes 烷烴
These molecules are saturated hydrocarbons with only C—C bond and C—H single
bond inside. The carbon atoms form four single bonds with other atoms and have
unshared electrons in their valence orbitals.

Alkenes 烯烴
The two carbon atoms in such hydrocarbons share two pairs of electrons to form a C=C
double bond. This C=C double bond is therefore a centre of unsaturation in the molecule
and can undergo addition reaction to utilize its covalency to the full (four).

The C=C double bond can be regarded as the functional group of alkene since most of
the chemical reactions take place here. Examples
Propene

cis—1, 2—dibromoethene
Cyclohexene
trans—But—2—ene
trans—1 , 2—dibromoethene
Alkynes 炔烴
These are hydrocarbons in which two of the carbon atoms share 3 pairs of electrons
between them and are thus bonded by a CC triple bond. The reactive site is the CC
triple bond at which the addition reactions take place.
Examples :
H-CC-H
Ethyne
Propyne

VI. STRUCTURE AND SHAPE OF HYDROCARBONS
(A).
Tetravalent Carbon in Saturated Compounds
The electronic configuration of Carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2
It is not divalent (the 2 unpaired 2p electrons forming covalent bonds by overlapping with the
orbitals of two unpaired electrons from other atoms) but tetravalent because hybridization of the
atomic orbitals takes place at the carbon atom.
The hybrid orbitals are in tetravalent arrangement in order to minimize the repulsion among
them. For such sp3 orbitals overlapping with is orbitals from four hydrogen atoms, methane is
formed.
Note
<1> The carbon atom prefers the tetravalent state because large amount of bond energy is
released by form two extra ‘bonds. Such energy can outweigh the energy required
for
excitation and hybridization.
<2> The strong covalent bonds formed is called a bond. The bonding electrons are localized
symmetrically along the internuclear axis of boding atoms.
<3> The tetrahedral configuration around an sp3 carbon is retained in any compound where
carbon forms four single covalent bonds with other atoms.

Chpt. 24: p.10
<4>The atoms joined by a a bond can rotate with respect to one another.
Example :
For ethane molecule, C—H and C—C bonds can be rotated.
Conformations (conformers) of the molecules can be obtained by
rotation about the C—C bond. The two extreme cases are staggered and
eclipsed forms.
<i> staggered form : The molecule is lower in
Reason :
energy and more stable.
<ii> eclipsed form : The molecule is higher in energy and less stable.
Reason :
<5> In the case of cyclic compounds, the tetrahedral configuration around sp3 carbon also tend to
preserve other additional interactions have to be taken into account.
(i)
Cyclohexane:
The ring is slightly puckered from a planar form (regular hexagon with interior angle
1200 ) to a puckered form in order to relieve the 12 C—H bonds interaction.
It has two conformations :
<a> Chair form —
—
—
<b> Boat form —
—
the
The ring is puckered that all sp carbons have tetrahedral
configuration.
It is free of ring strain.
All the C—H bonds are perfectly staggered so that there will be
no H—H interaction.
Hydrogens of the side carbons are eclipsed
Two of the hydogens on C1 and C4 exert repulsion on each other.
Such repulsion cause the form to have higher energy than
chair form.

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons — Double and Triple Bonds
(1)
Formation of C=C Double Bond
In forming the C=C bond, carbon atoms undergo sp2 hybridization.
The three sp2 hybridized orbitals are in a trigonal planar arrangement with 120° between
any two orbitals. The unhybridized 2p orbital is in a plane at right angle to them.
In forming the ethane (C2H4) molecule,
<a> A strong sp2—sp2 __________ is formed between the carbon atoms
<b> Four sp2—s __________ are formed between the sp2 carbons and hydrogens by
overlapping with their is orbitals.
<c> The two unhybridized 2p orbitals of carbon overlap laterally to form a _______ bond
above and below the plane.
Note
<i>
<ii>
The Lateral overlap in  bond is ______ effective than the linear overlap in a bond.
The electrons in the  bond are delocalized over both carbon atoms, moving freely
throughout an orbital above and below the plane of the carbon framework. Such carbon
framework is the nodal plane of the it bond.

<iii>
Chpt. 24: p.12
The rotation of the  bond through 90° would result in the breakage of the  bond.
The breakage if usually involves a large amount of energy (220 kJmol-1) and the
temperature required should be above 300°C.
The  bond is rigid that prevents double bond rotation and keep the structure of the
ethene molecular planar, with all the hydrogen atoms lying in the same plane.

The rigidity of mm bond is till maintained in the structure of cyclohexene,
C=C bond in which carbons are sp2 hybridized :
planar
3
C—C bond in which carbons are sp hybridized : tetrahedral
(2)
Formation of —CC— Triple Bond
In forming —CC— bond, carbon atoms undergo sp hybridization by utilizing their 2s
and 2p orbitals. The sp hybrid orbitals are co-linear and are at 180° to one another. The
other two unhybridized orbitals of each carbon atom remain in planes at right angles to
one another.

In forming the ethyne (C2H2) molecule,
<1> One sp—sp ________ is formed between two carbon atoms.
<2> Two pairs of unhybridized. 2p orbitals overlap each other laterally to form two it bonds
which are mutually at right angles to each other.
<3> The difference in bonding and electronic structure of the C— C, C=C and CC bonds is
reflected in their bond energy and bond lengths.

Interpretation
(i)
The carbon—carbon bond length decreases from C—C to CC
Reason:
The formation of double and triple bonds is accompanied by an increase in overlap of the
electron clouds of the combining atoms. The increases electron density enhances the
electrostatic binding between the two nuclei. As a result, the bonds are shorter.
(ii)
The carbon—carbon bond energy increases from C—C to CC
Reason :
More energy is required to rupture the bond from C—C bond to CC bond.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons — Special case of Benzene
(A)
Electronic Structure and Special Distribution of Bonds
The structure of benzene can be considered as a further extension of delocalisation from the
conjugated dienes.
<1>
<2>
Each carbon atom undergoes sp2 hybridization and form 2  bonds with another two
carbon atoms as well as 1 bond with hydrogen atom. All the 6 carbon atoms and 6
hydrogen atoms form a planar hexagon.
The 6 unhybridized 2p orbitals overlap each other on both side to give an annular
electron cloud above and below the plane of the ring. This extended delocalisation of the
p orbitals accounts for the planar nature of the ring.
Note: <1> Benzene can be regarded as the resonance hybrid of two Kelule structures. The true
structure is the intermediate between them.

<2>
The  electrons are delocalized around the whole system and the structure of benzene is
better represented as follow :
<3>
Due to the delocalization of the electron cloud, the C—C bond lengths in benzene are
exactly the same (0.140 nm). Such value lies between the value for a CC triple bond
(0.154 nm) and a C=C double bond (0.134 nm).
