Organic Chemistry: Structure, Mechanism, and Synthesis by Robert J. Ouellette

By Robert J. Ouellette

There are not any shortcuts in natural chemistry. figuring out and mastery can't be accomplished with no devoting sufficient time and a spotlight to the theories and ideas of the self-discipline. it really is with this premise that Ouellette and Rawn got down to comprehensively survey the sector in Organic Chemistry, with an emphasis on connecting the fundamental ideas of natural chemistry to actual international demanding situations that require research, not only recall.

Organic chemistry is on the interface of actual and organic technology, and this new textual content lays out the elemental ideas of natural chemistry of their relation to a bunch of different fields in either actual and organic sciences. Chemical bonding determines molecular constitution, which in flip dictates actual, chemical, and organic houses from the smallest molecules to the biggest. Molecular constitution determines response mechanisms, from the smallest to the most important molecules. response mechanisms confirm concepts for natural synthesis, and those artificial ideas expand to each element of synthesis, from drug layout to the equipment cells hire to synthesize the molecules of which they're made. those relationships shape a continual narrative through the e-book, in which ideas logically evolve from one to the subsequent, from the easiest to the main complicated examples, with plentiful connections among the textual content and actual international applications.

  • Contains wide examples of organic relevance
  • Includes a major bankruptcy on organometallic chemistry no longer present in different regular references
  • Extended, illustrated glossary
  • Appendices on thermodynamics, kinetics, and transition nation theory

Sample text

However, in some organic molecules, a carbon atom shares two or three pairs of electrons with another bonded atom. If two electron pairs are shared, a double bond exists. For example, ethene has a carbon–carbon double bond. Each carbon atom in ethene forms two single bonds to hydrogen atoms and one double bond to the neighboring carbon atom. If two bonded atoms share three electron pairs, a triple bond exists. For example, each carbon atom in ethyne forms a single bond to a hydrogen atom, and the two carbon atoms share a triple bond.

Structural Formulas A molecular formula tells us the composition of a molecule. A structural formula shows the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule. The structural formulas for methane, aminomethane, methanol, and chloromethane show all of the bonds connecting the constituent atoms. Structural formulas are often drawn in abbreviated or condensed versions to save time and space. Condensed structural formulas show only specific bonds; other bonds are implied, but not shown. The degree of condensation depends on which bonds are shown and which are only implied.

The Lewis structures of four simple organic compounds: methane, aminomethane, methanol, and chloromethane are shown below with both bonding and nonbonding electrons. 2 Valences of Common Elements1 Atom Valence Hydrogen 1 Fluorine 1 Bromine 1 Chlorine 1 Iodine 1 Oxygen 2 Sulfur 2 Nitrogen 3 Carbon 4 The valence is the usual number of bonds formed by the atom in neutral compounds. 1 H H H C H H H N C H H H H aminomethane H methane C H O H H H methanol C Cl H chloromethane The hydrogen atom and the halogen atoms form only one covalent bond to other atoms in stable neutral compounds.
