HYDROCARBONS

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the exercise, the student should be able to:

develop ability to detect and record various signs of chemical


change.

describe how hydrocarbon types may be detected and


differentiated from each other by means of simple chemical
tests (test tube reactions).

aromatic hydrocarbons towards selected chemical reagents; and

carry out the laboratory preparation of acetylene.

Functional Group
is a group of atoms that has
characteristic chemical
behavior in every molecuIe
where it occurs.
(reactive sites)

The chemistry of
every organic molecule,
regardless of size and
complexity, is determined
by the functional groups
it contains.

radical - highly reactive because it contains an atom
with an odd number of electrons

achieve a valence-shell octet in several ways


radical might abstract an atom and one bonding
electron from another reactant, leaving behind a
new radical
(radical substitution reaction)

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

Steps:

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

A halogen atom abstracts hydrogen from the alkane


(RH) to form an alkyl radical (R).
The radical in turn abstracts a halogen atom from a
halogen molecule to yield the alkyl halide (RX).
Which alkyl halide is obtained depends upon which
alkyl radical is formed.

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)


Study of the halogenation of many alkanes has shown
that the rate of abstraction of H atoms is always found
to follow the sequence: 3 > 2 > 1

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)


The relative ease with which the different classes of H
atoms are abstracted is:
Ease of abstraction of H atoms:
3 > 2 > 1 > CH4
(based on the relative stability of the free radicals)

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

relative stability of the free radicals:


-

the amount of E needed to form the various classes of


radicals decreases in the order:
CH 3 > 1 > 2 > 3

(abstraction of a 1 H yields a 1 radical,


abstraction of a 2 H yields a 2 radical...)

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)


R-H

R+H

H= bond dissociation energy

if less E is needed to form one radical than another


- the one radical contains less E than the other is more
stable

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

Relative to the alkane from which it is formed,


Stability of free radicals:

3 > 2 > 1 > CH 3

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)


Ease of abstraction of H atoms:
3 > 2 > 1 > CH4

Ease of formation of free radicals:


3 > 2 > 1 > CH 3
The more stable the free radical, the more easily it is
formed.

Reaction: cyclohexane

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

Reaction: toluene

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

Reaction:
toluene undergoes bromination at a faster rate despite
that it is brominated at a 1 carbon
explained by the resonance stabilization of benzyllic
free radical

Halogenation/Bromination

Free Radical Substitution (FRS)

Reaction:
stability of free-radical:
benzyllic > 3o > 2o > 1o > CH3
ease

of formation of free-radical:

benzyllic > 3o > 2o > 1o > CH3


simple generalization:
the reactivity of a H depends chiefly upon its class, and
not upon the alkane to which it is attached

Halogenation/Bromination

Electrophilic Addition (EA)


can take place even in the dark
no HBr is produced
mechanism by which alkenes and alkynes are
brominated

Halogenation/Bromination

Electrophilic Addition (EA)

Electrons in the bond of alkenes/alkynes react with


electrophiles
these reagents that are seeking a pair of electrons are
called electrophilic reagents (Greek: electron-loving)

Halogenation/Bromination

Electrophilic Addition (EA)

Alkenes are readily converted by Br2 into saturated cpds


that contain two atoms of halogen attached to adjacent
carbons

addition proceeds rapidly at room T or below, and does


not require exposure to UV light

Electrophilic Addition (EA)

Halogenation/Bromination

Electrophilic Addition (EA)

With alkynes the addition may occur once or twice,


depending on the number of molar equivalents of halogen

addition proceeds rapidly at room T or below, and does


not require exposure to UV light

Electrophilic Addition (EA)

electrophilic addition to an alkene/alkyne involves the

Solubility Tests
Explanation:
Comparative acidities of alcohols and phenols:
The differences in acidities can be explained by the
relative stabilities of the conjugate bases.

Solubility Tests
Explanation:
Comparative acidities of alcohols and phenols:
conjugate base of alcohol: alkoxide
e.g. butanol 1-butoxide
The negative charge on the
O atom of the butoxide is
intensified by the electron
releasing alkyl group
(CH3CH2CH2CH2-) and is
therefore destabilized.

Solubility Tests
Explanation:
Comparative acidities of alcohols and phenols:
conjugate base of alcohol: alkoxide
e.g. 1-butanol 1-butoxide

In fact, most alkoxides are


strong bases and will easily
attract protons to form back
the alcohols.

Solubility Tests
Explanation:
Comparative acidities of alcohols and phenols:
For phenol, it forms upon losing a proton the
resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion.

Solubility Tests
Explanation:
Comparative acidities of alcohols and phenols:
Because of the resonance forms of the phenoxide,
phenol has a greater tendency to lose a proton to form
the more stable phenoxide ion.
phenol is thus a stronger acid than butanol

aldehydes and ketones
