13. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

I) SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Synopsis :Introduction and classification :

1. Based on their source, chemical compounds are classified into 3 types by Lemery:

i) Mineral source ii) Vegetable source iii) Animal sourceVital force theory :

Lavoiser found that the compounds from vegetable and animal sources contain similarcomposition.

Then Berzelius classified the above 3 types into 2 types and he coined the new terms Organic andInorganic.i) Organic compounds: These are present in living beings (plants, animals etc.)

ii) Inorganic compounds: These are present in minerals But now based on the structure and chemical behaviour, the compounds are classified as

i) Organic compounds ii) Inorganic compounds

Organic compounds are carbon compounds and the study of chemistry of carbon compounds iscalled organic chemistry.

Organic compounds contain Carbon, Hydrogen, essentially and Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulphur,Phosphorus, Halogen etc frequently.

Father of organic chemistry is Wohler who synthesized the first organic compound in laboratoryfrom inorganic substances.

With the synthesis of urea vital force theory of Berzelius was discarded, according to whichorganic compounds cannot be synthesized without any vital force.

Kolbe synthesised CH3COOH from its elements.

Berthelot synthesised CH4 Carbon is tetravalent as it contains four unpaired electrons in its excited state configuration. The

tetravalency of carbon was given by Vanthoff and Lebel who were awarded the first nobel prize inchemistry.

Open chain compounds: Carbon atoms are linked to one another to form straight chains orbranched ones but not rings.

Open chain compounds are also called aliphatic compounds. Ex: Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes andtheir derivatives.

Cyclic compounds: Carbon atoms are linked to one another to form ring.

Based on the number of rings, they may be monocyclic or polycyclic.Homocyclic: Ring is formed by carbon atoms only. Ex:Benzene, Phenol, Toluene, Cyclopropaneetc.

Heterocyclic: Along with carbons some hetero atom like, N, O, S, P, etc is involved in forming thering.

Alicyclic: These are cyclic compounds but resemble open chain compounds in properties.Ex.: Cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, cycloalkynesAromatic: The ring compounds which resemble benzene in structure and properties are calledaromatic compounds.

These may be homocyclic or heterocyclic.Ex.:

Bonding in carbon compounds :

In all its compounds, carbon undergoes only

3 types of hybridisation i.e. sp, sp2 and sp3. The tetravalency of carbon is possible in its excited state configuration, as it contains four

unpaired electrons

The energy required for the promotion of electron from 2s orbital to 2p orbital is 501.6 kJ/mol.

sp3 hybridisation is found in alkanes. sp3 hybrid carbon forms four single bonds or four sigmabonds. The ratio of s character to p character in each sp3 hybrid orbital is 1 : 4. sp3 hybridcarbon forms C C and C H bonds. Shape of the molecule is tetrahedral and bond angle is109.

sp2 hybridisation is found in alkenes. sp2 hybrid carbon forms 3 sigma bonds and 1pi bond orone double bond and two sigma bonds. The ratio of s character to p character in sp2 hybrid

orbital is1 : 2. Shape of molecule is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120.

sp hybridisation is found in alkynes and cumulative dienes. SP hybrid carbons forms 2 and 2bonds i.e. 1 triple and 1 single or 2 double bonds.

The ratio of s character to p character in sp hybrid orbital is 1 : 1.

Shape of molecule is linear and bond angle is 180.

4.METHODS OF PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Methods of purification of organic Compounds:

Organic compounds obtained either from natural sources or synthetic processes in the laboratoriesare contaminated with impurities. These are purified by different methods.

I. Methods of purification of solids:1.Crystallisation:-

This method is useful to purify the solid organic compounds. The principle involved in this method is that the compound should be insoluble at low

temperature but soluble at higher temperatures in the given solvent. Impurities are either insolubleor soluble and go into filtrate.

The insoluble impurities are removed by filteration in hot condition. The crystals of the compound are seperated by filtering under reduced pressure using Buckner

funnel. Repeated crystallisation is required and the coloured impurities are removed by adsorbing them

with activated charcoal.

2. Sublimation : - It is used to purify activated solid organic compounds which undergoes sublimation. If the compound is sublimating the impurity should not sublimate.

If the compound to be purified has high vapour pressure below its melting point and sublimatesreadily on heating and the impurities dont sublimate.

The pure compound is seperated by scratching the watch glass. If the sublimating substances have a low vapour pressure or decompose on heating before

sublimation, then the sublimation is carried out under low pressure.

II. Methods of purification of liquids:-

1.Simple distillation:- The vapourisation of a liquid by heating and subsequent condensation ofvapours by cooling is known as distillation.

This process is useful for purification of liquids contaminated with non volatile impurities. The liquids that have boiling point difference greater than 40

0

C can be purified by this method.

2.Fractional distillation:- This process is useful for the purification of liquids having boiling point difference less than 400C. In this process, liquid with high b.p. is collected in the condenser and liquid with low b.p. is

collected in the receiver.3.Distillation under reduced pressure:-

This method is useful to purify liquids that have very high boiling points and those whichdecompose at or below their boiling points.

At reduced pressure the boiling point of a liquid is also reduced. Hence its decomposition isprevented.

4. Steam distillation:- The liquids insoluble in water possess high boiling point and steam volatile and the impurities are

not steam volatile are purified by this method.

Principle in steam distillation is - sum of the vapour pressure of organic liquid (P1) and that ofwater (P

2) is equal to atmospheric pressure (P) and mixture boils.

The water layer and the organic liquid layer are seperated using separating funnel.Ex:- Aniline is purified by this method from Aniline - water mixtureRelative masses obtained in steam distillation process is calculated by a formula =

5. Solvent extraction( differential extraction) :- In this method, organic compound is separated from its aqueous solution by using its solubility

which is different with organic solvent and water.6. Chromatography:-

It was discoverd by Tswett in (1906). He separated chlorophyll and Xanthophyll and othercompounds by using adsorbent 3CaCO .

It is classified into three types based on the physical states of stationary phase and mobile phase.

Chromatography involves the three stepsa) Adsorption and retention of a mixture of substances on the stationary phase and separation of

adsorbed substances by the mobile phase to different distance on the stationary phase.b) Recovery of the substances separated by a continuous flow of the mobile phase (known as

elution)c) Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the eluted substances

Important chromatography techniques are1) Adsorption chromatography : a) Column chromatography, b) Thin layer chromatography2) Partition chromatography : a) Paper chromatographya) Column Chromatography

The principle used in this method is differential adsorption. In the column chromatography the components of a mixture are separated by a column of

adsorbent (stationary phase) packed in a glass tube. The mixture to be adsorbed on the adsorbent is placed at the top of the stationary phase. A suitable eluant, either a single solvent or a mixture of solvents is allowed to flow down the

column slowly. The most readily adsorbed substances are retained near the top and others come down

accordingly to various distances.b)Thin layer chromatography (TLC):

This also based on the adsorption differences. The glass plate which is coated with adsorbent (Eg : Silica gel, alumina) as a thin layer (0.2mmthick) is called TLC plate or chromoplate.

The plate is then kept in a closed jar containing the eluant.The relative adsorption of a component of the mixture is expressed in terms of RETARDATIONFACTOR (R

f) value.

Distance moved by thesubstance from base line (X)R =

Distance moved bythesolvent from base line (Y)

The colourless compounds which fluorescence are detected with ultraviolet light. Spots of compounds are even detected by allowing them to adsorb iodine, when they give brown

spots.

Some times an appropriate reagent is sprayed, as ninhydrin solution to detect aminoacids.c) Partition Chromatography

This is based on continuous differential partitioning of components of a mixture between thestationary phase and the mobile phase.

In paper chromatography, a special paper called chromatography paper contains water trapped init which acts as the stationary phase.

The chromatography paper spotted with the solution of the mixture at the base is suspended in asuitable solvent or a mixture of solvents. This solvent (s) acts as the mobile phase.

The solvent rises up the paper by capillary action and moves over the spot. The paper selectively retains different components as per their differing partition in mobile and

stationary phases and is known as chromatogram. The spots of the separated coloured compounds are detected.

The above obtained fused mass is extracted with water by plunging the red hot ignition tube indistilled water and the contents are boiled for 10 minutes and filtered. The filtrate is calledsodium extract.i) Test for nitrogen:

Take a portion of the sodium extract, if it is not alkaline addNaOH solution to it and then freshlyprepared ferrous sulphate solution.

Now add 2 or 3 drops of 3FeCl solution, cool, acidify with conc HCl.

A prussian blue or green precipitate (or) coloration is observed if nitrogen is present.

Dimethyl derivatives of benzene are called Xylenes.1, 2-dimethyl benzene (O - xylene)

Consider

It is named as 2, 4, 6 - trinitro toluene taking toluene as the base

name. Similarly is named as 4-ethyl - 2 - fluroanisole.

When no simple base name other than benzene is possible, the positions are numbered so as togive the lowest locate at the first point of difference.

Example :

1-Chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene 4-ethyl-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene(not 4-chloro -1, 3-dinitrobenzene)

If benzene ring is named as substituent it is named as phenyl . Similarly an arene is named asaryl.

2-phenylethanol Benzyl Chloride
