Rules Summary: First find the longest continuous carbon chain, the parent chain, and name it Determine the names of any side chains. If there are side chains, number the carbon chain using a numbering system that will result in the smallest numbers for the side chains If there are multiple side chains of the same length, use the appropriate prefix: di, tri, tetra, etc. Lastly, if there are multiple side chains to list, list them in alphabetical order. When listing in alphabetical order, ignore any prefixes you may have added. For example, "dipropyl" would be listed after "ethyl".

Punctuation Rules In general: Letters that are placed before the words (i.e. "n") are generally italicized. There are no spaces between most words. Hyphens "-" are put between numbers and words. Commas "," are put between numbers.

Conformational analysis Conformations: The different spatial arrangements that a molecule can adopt due to rotation about sigma bonds are called conformations and hence Rotamers or conformers. conformational analysis: The study of the energy changes that occur during these rotations is called conformational analysis Concept: Staggered conformation: GAUCHE, ANTI Eclipsed conformation: SYN The simplest Example: Ethane

Type of Strain The reason: Electron pairs repel each other / as far apart from each : other as possible 1) Angle strain 2) Steric strain
3) Torsional strain (dihedral angle ) 4) Ring strain a cyclic structure related non-cyclic

Background of knowledge
Reaction Mechanisms Reaction mechanism: describes how a reaction occurs, it includes which bonds are broken and which new ones are formed the order in which bond-breaking and bond-forming steps take place the role of the catalyst (if any is present) the energy of the entire system during the reaction First: How to describe the energy change in a reaction? Potential energy (PE) diagram: a graph showing the changes in energy that occur during a chemical reaction Reaction coordinate: a measure of the change in position of atoms during a reaction

Activation Energy, Ea: The difference in potential energy between reactants and the transition state (Relate to Kinetics, describes Rate) determines the rate of reaction if Ea is large, only a few molecular collisions occur with sufficient energy to reach the transition state, and the reaction is slow if Ea is small, many collisions generate sufficient energy to reach the transition state, and the reaction is fast

To answer these questions, we need to: 1. Understand the mechanism of the reaction (arrowpushing!). 2. Use thermodynamics and kinetics to analyze the reaction. 52 2004-5-29

A. Mechanism for the monochlorination of Methane Free-radical chain reactions have three distinct mechanistic steps: Initiation step, Propagation steps, and Termination step I. Initiation Step: generates reactive intermediate Cl2 absorbs energy and the bond is homolytically cleaved
(Remember to use fishhook arrows!)

II.
Reaction a) Chlorine radical abstracts a hydrogen from methane to form a methyl radical. b) Methyl radical abstracts a chlorine from Cl2 to form product and another chlorine radical

III. Termination Steps: Unproductive Steps Consumption of reactive intermediates (radicals) without generation of new ones
Termination steps slow down and eventually stop the chain reaction
Termination reactions become most important at the end of a reaction, when there are very few reactant molecules left

In conclusion: It is important that the initiation step involves cleavage of a fairly weak bond like ClCl. Other than that, the initiation step is not important in the overall thermodynamics and kinetics of the reaction. This is because one initiation step starts a chain that can go through thousands of propagation cycles. The termination steps are also unimportant in the overall energetic picture of the reaction, so let's focus on the propagation steps.
