OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) Alkynes ( -yne ) Recap: Alkanes are sp 3 orbital hybridized tetrahedral carbons with single bonds, while alkenes are sp 2 trigonal planar carbons with one or more double bonds. Alkynes are sp linear carbons with one or more triple bonds. ethane C 2 H 6 ethene C 2 H 4 ethyne C 2 H 2 Exercise 1. What is the chemical formula of pent-2-yne? Name 2 isomers. C 5 H 8 , pent-1-yne, (3Z) penta-1,3-diene Cyclic alkanes ( cyclo- + -ane ) Normally, sp 3 alkanes have a bond angle of 109.5º. But while the carbon chain wraps around to form a ring, the structural constraints will bend this angle. In cyclopropane (C 3 H 6 ), the bond angle shrinks to merely 60º. The crowded electron clouds of small cycloalkanes make them very unstable. The larger cycloalkanes, such as cyclohexane (C 6 H 12 ), are more stable as the bond angles approach normal. (The hexagonal line diagram of cyclohexane is misleading - each carbon is still bonded to 2H and 2C in sp 3 hybridization.) If you have a molecular model kit, build a cyclohexane following the example on Pubchem: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Cyclohexane#section=3D-Conformer Exercise 2. What is the molecular formula of cyclopentane? Name two isomers of cyclopentane. C 5 H 10 , (E) pent-2-ene, 2-methylbut-1-ene 1
OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) The benzene ring and aromatic compounds Many students confuse cyclohexane with a critically important cyclic alk ene , cyclohexa-1,3,5- tri e ne (C 6 H 6 ). There are three double bonds in this 6-carbon ring, originating from the #1, #3, and #5 C. The six-carbon ring is flat while all six C are sp 2 hybridized. Six unpaired carbon 2p orbitals float both above and below the plane, forming three π bonds in two possible ways (1-2, 3-4, 5-6 or 2-3, 4-5, 6-1). These two arrangements of π bonds “resonate” (average out), so essentially there is a donut-shaped electron cloud both above and below the six-carbon ring. The C 6 H 6 molecule is called benzene . Structurally, benzene is a one-ring graphene (a layer of sp 2 carbon atoms with three resonating triple bonds in each ring). But they have very different properties. Exercise 3. Draw a Venn diagram to compare and contrast cyclohexane and benzene Answer: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HoLRrlCGU5k-OcGFjVr5cMPsshc5ag6j48uNzueUujU/edit?usp=sharing The benzene ring may be found in a wide variety of organic compounds. Many bind to our olfactory (nose smelling) receptor proteins, giving us a pleasant smell. Therefore, organic compounds that contain benzene rings are also called aromatic compounds (aroma = good smell.) When molecules “bind” together, there is a good structural fitting so that oppositely charged regions get close enough to attract each other (dp-dp). The non-polar regions also appear to 2

Many colourful pigments contain benzene rings or a similar co-planar structure. Such configuration allows the compound to absorb certain wavelengths of visible light so that we see vivid colours (the visible wavelengths that are not absorbed). Guess what is the compound below (acid = red, alkaline = blue)? Senior chemistry favourite titration pH indicator, phenolphthalein: Benzene by itself is quite toxic and may be found in gasoline. Compounds that consist of multiple benzene rings (only) are called polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) . PAH may be produced by burning organic compounds such as fossil fuels, tobacco, even overcooked barbeque. PAHs are carcinogenic - some scientists theorize that PAH mimics DNA nitrogenous bases and disrupts DNA replication. Exercise 4 . Compare and contrast the structures of cyclohexane and benzene. Answer (slide 9): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HoLRrlCGU5k-OcGFjVr5cMPsshc5ag6j48uNzueUujU/edit?usp=sharing Exercise 5 . What is the similarity between graphene and benzene? resonating π bonds above and below the sp 2 plane 3

OCV Chemistry, Grade 12 University Preparation (SCH4U-04/05) Ottawa-Carleton Virtual Secondary School 2020-2021 Mr. Daniel Cho-En Lee ( daniel.cho-en.lee@ocdsb.ca ) Exercise 6 . What are aromatic compounds? compounds that contain benzene rings (high school definition) Exercise 7 . Describe three frequently seen properties of benzene-containing compounds. Smells good, have colours (2-4 coplanar rings), toxic (if multiple benzene rings are connected together) Extended topic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: What Are They and Why Do They Matter? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjgvmL61e5k Many functional groups can be attached to a benzene ring. For this course and entry-level university chemistry, please be familiar with toluene (methylbenzene), phenol (hydroxybenzene), as well as “o rtho (1,2) /m eta (1,3) /p ara (1,4)” arrangements. TNT The dynamite TNT stands for tri nitro toluene while its IUPAC name is 2- methyl -1,3,5- tri nitro benzene . ( Toluene = methylbenzene) Every few years there is news about explosions caused by nitro group (-NO 2 ) / nitrate (NO 3 - ) compounds. The most recent two tragedies happened in Tianjin, China (2015) and Beirut, Lebanon (2020), each claiming hundreds of lives. Why is nitro group/nitrate dangerous? The burning of fuels requires oxygen, but nitro/nitrate compounds supply their own oxygen. The included O are bonded with the also quite electronegative N. For the same reason that O=O splits under heat, once there is kinetic energy, the O atoms packed in nitro/nitrate solids are released to grab electrons from more electronegative atoms, such as C. If there are suitable fuels nearby, this will release more heat, causing more oxygen to be released... The chain reaction leads to a devastating explosion. Chemicals containing -NO 2 / NO 3 - , 4

Fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ) is banned in many countries under the fear of terrorist bombing. Exercise 8 . Explain to a family member why lawn fertilizer should be stored away from flammables and heat sources. Extended topic Why was the Beirut blast so massive? Ammonium Nitrate explosion explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEpFyE_ED7M Bisphenol A (BPA) Phenol is a -OH group attached to benzene. About a decade ago, there was a widespread fear of bis phenol -A (BPA, containing two phenol groups in “bis” arrangement) added to the inner lining of metal cans and plastic containers. The fear stems from the suspicion that BPA mimics human female hormone so that ingesting BPA increases the risk of breast cancer. Back in 2009 Mr. Lee taught a four-year university course, where we tried to virtually dock a BPA molecule into the model of estradiol protein receptor. It was not particularly a good fit, so we did not find evidence to support the fear. The functional group phenol is often confused with “phenyl,” which means a benzene ring used as a side chain, just like “methyl” is a methane side chain.
