CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier Organic vs. Inorganic Before there was chemistry, there was Alchemy Late 1700s z Organic compounds can be extracted from living organisms z The vital force… 1828: F. Wöhler z Synthesis of organic compounds from inorganic sources O NH4+ CHEM 212 - NCO heat H2N NH2 Nicolas Moitessier The Birth of Organic Chemistry Antoine Lavoisier, 1784 z Cannizzaro z z molecular structure of organic compounds. he fixed the weight of the carbon atom at 12 August Kekule z z CHEM 212 Organic compounds composed of C, N, O 1861: Marsh gas: CHHHH "The carbon atoms form the skeleton for the molecule. Other atoms are attached to the skeleton much as hand and feet would be. It can seem strange that carbon atoms should cling together in lines or rows. Other atoms, in any usual compound, do not do this. Perhaps that is the reason why carbon's chemistry seems so different from that of other elements." Nicolas Moitessier The Birth of Organic Chemistry Kekule and the benzene molecule z Kekule makes use of a dream z "The carbon atoms of benzene form a ring." Every organic compound possess a carbon skeleton (arranged as chains, rings or a mixture). Organic chemistry: z Understanding of these arrangements z Manipulation of these skeletons (removing or adding parts) CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier Organic Chemistry Isolation/Identification of compounds Reaction of compounds z Synthesis z Mechanism CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier Organic Chemistry Man on the street: explosive, danger… no other science is connected with more bad emotions, refusal and anxiety across wide sectors of society. CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier Bhopal, India Tragedy Union Carbide, 1984.

CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier What is a “chemical”? What is a chemical for the man on the street? Is NaCl a chemical? z A product of a chemical process? > NaCl is a chemical z A unnatural product? > NaCl is not a chemical z A toxic product? > NaCl (pure) is not a chemical Wrong definitions from the media z Chemical = danger z Bio = safe z A synthetic compound (highly pure) is safer than the same non-pure compound extracted from plants !!! CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier What for? Answering questions and solving problems Does eating turkey make you sleepy? z Turkey contains L-tryptophan, (amino acid with known sleep z z z z z z z CHEM 212 inducing effect) L-tryptophan is used in the body to produce B-vitamin, B-vitamin is used to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter with known calming effects L-tryptophan needs to be taken without any other amino acids or protein in order to make you drowsy. It's not the only food on the table. Fats also take a lot of energy to digest, Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. …. Nicolas Moitessier What for? Why did he leave? z Initially: Î First, there's attraction. Î Part of the nonverbal communication may involve pheromones, a form of chemical communication. Î raw lust is characterized by high levels of testosterone Î The pounding heart is caused by higher levels of norepinepherine Î The love is due to a rush of phenylethylamine and dopamine. z Then… Î Lasting love confers chemical benefits in the form of stabilized production of serotonin and oxytocin. Î Suppression of vasopressin can cause males to abandon their love nest and seek new mates. CHEM 212 Nicolas Moitessier 5 Messages You are chemistry! ... and the rest of the universe, too! Chemistry invents new matter à la carte! In chemistry there are no copies of molecules, only identical originals! z synthetic vs. natural z erroneous belief whereby "chemical" is the opposite of "natural" and hence must be bad. z Molecules are the same - whatever their different origin! Chemistry provides solutions to its own problems! z It can therefore be used to remove polluting substances and clean up the environment There are no toxic substances, only toxic doses! z even water is toxic: water intoxication and the related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. http://chemistry.about.com/ CHEM 212 http://www.chemforlife.org/ Nicolas Moitessier Information Introduction: What is Organic Chemistry ?
