Bicyclic Compounds BICYCLIC – two rings share two common atoms SPIROCYCLIC – two rings share one common atom

FUSED – when the two rings are joined at adjacent carbons BRIDGED – when the two rings are joined at nonadjacent carbons Naming a bicyclic compounds

Polyclic Compounds Compounds that contain many rings joined at common atoms

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

1.395 Å

1.08 Å

… the simplest of which is Benzene (a puzzling “conjugated alkene”)

Ladenburg benzene, or prismane (the way benzene was imagined in the 19th century – no double bonds)

Name AROMATIC is historical as many fragrant compounds are derivatives of benzene

How does benzene differ from alkenes and other cyclic compounds ? It is Very Stable !

6

A set of base states for benzene molecule

Heat of formation of benzene is COT is

19.82 kcal/mol or 3.3 kcal/mol per CH group 71.23 kcal/mol or 8.9 kcal/mol per CH group

Æ per CH group benzene is 8.9 – 3.3 = 5.6 kcal/mol more stable this energy difference is known as the empirical resonance energy RESONANCE STRUCTURE ENHANCES STABILITY

Aromaticity Compounds that conforms to the Huckel’s 4n+2 Rule are comparably to benzene in chemically stable. These are known as aromatic compounds

Aromatic compounds have: 1. 2. 3. 4.

cyclic arrangement of p-orbitals p-orbital on every atom of the ring aromatic rings that are planar cyclic arrangement of the p-orbitals that contain 4n+2 π-electrons (i.e. aromatic compounds have 2, 6, 10, … π-electrons)

Examples of Aromatic Compounds (these are not pure hydrocarbons yet they are aromatic)

9

Examples of Aromatic Compounds (cont.)

Class of materials known as polyacenes or acenes The lowest bonding MO of anthracene benzene naphthalene anthracene naphthacene (teracene) pentacene

Chemical stability of these molecules decreases as the size of the molecule increases. (e.x. pentacene and hexacene oxidize readily in air, while benzene, naphtalene, and anthracene are stable in absence of light).

In studying the properties of polyacenes it will be sufficient to focus on the properties of the π-electrons

COT is not aromatic

NO resonance form

Comparison of π-bonds and in benzene and COT

Just as filled atomic orbitals are associated with stability of atoms (such as noble gases), filled bonding molecular orbitals are associated with stability in conjugated molecules Æ Aromatic compounds are stable !

Common Organic Solvents

Protic solvents consist of molecules that can act as hydrogen-bond donors Polar solvents have relatively high dielectric constant Donor Solvents are capable of donating electron pairs

To dissolve a covalent compound in a solvent follow the rule of thumb: “Like dissolves like”
