Baeyer Strain Theory Introduction Van't Hoff and Lebel Proposed Baeyer Strain Theory instable cycloalkanes. The large ring systems involve negative strain hence do not exists. Introduction The bond angles in cyclohexane and higher Van’t Hoff and Lebel proposed tetrahedral cycloalkanes (cycloheptane, cyclooctane, geometry of carbon. The bond angel is of 109˚ cyclononane……..) are not larger than 109.5 28' (or 109.5˚) for carbon atom in tetrahedral because the carbon rings of those compounds geometry (methane molecule). Baeyer are not planar (flat) but they are puckered observed different bond angles for different (Wrinkled). cycloalkanes and also observed some These assumptions are helpful to understand different properties and stability .On this instability of cycloalkane ring systems. basis, he proposed angle strain theory. The theory explains reactivity and stability of Cyclopropane is more prone to cycloalkanes. Baeyer proposed that the undergo ring opening reaction than optimum overlap of atomic orbitals is cyclobutane or cyclopentane achieved for bond angel of 109.5 .In short, it is Cyclopropane is more reactive than ideal bond angle for alkane compounds. cyclobutane and cyclopentane Effective and optimum overlap of atomic orbitals produces maximum bond strength The ring of cyclopropane is triangle. hance stable molecule. All the three angles are of 60 in place of 109.5 (normal bond angle for If bond angles deviate from the ideal carbon atom) to adjust them into then ring produce strain. triangle ring system. Higher the strain higher the In same manner, cyclobutane is instability. square and the bond angles are of 90o in place of 109.5o (normal bond Higher strain increases reactivity and angle for carbon atom) to adjust them increases heat of combustion. into square ring system. Baeyer proposed “any deviation of The deviation for cyclopropane and bond angle from ideal bond angle cyclobutane ring systems then normal value 109.5 will produce a strain in tetrahedral angle will produce strain molecule. in ring. The ring strain will make them Higher the deviation lesser the unstable as compare to molecules instability. having tetrahedral bond angle. So, cyclopropane and cyclobutane will Baeyer’s angle strain theory using easily undergo ring opening reactions concept of angle strain. to form more stable open chain compounds. Baeyer’s theory is based upon some assumptions as following. Now compare the stability of cyclopropane and cyclobutane All ring systems are planar. Deviation from normal tetrahedral angles results in to The bond angle in cyclopropane is 60˚. The normal tetrahedral bond angle value is Cyclohexane is unstable ring due to higher 109.5˚. ring strain. It is difficult to synthesize for cyclohexane and higher ring systems as That is why, deviation = (normal tetrahedral deviation from the normal tetrahedral value bond angle) – (actual bond angle) (109.5˚) would be larger. The larger deviation Deviation = 109.5˚ – 60 = 49.5˚ will result into more strain and the ring system will be unstable. In conclusion, Baeyer The bond angle in cyclobutane is 90˚. proposed that ring systems smaller or larger than cyclopentane or cyclohexane are The normal tetrahedral bond angle value is unstable due to higher ring strain. Therefore, 109.5˚. he assumed that cyclopropane and That is why, deviation = (normal tetrahedral cyclobutane easily undergo ring opening bond angle) – (actual bond angle) reaction whereas larger ring systems are difficult to synthesize. Deviation = 109˚ 5’ – 90 = 19.5˚. Baeyer explained why synthesis of larger ring Deviation for cyclopropane is 49.5˚ is difficult Deviation for cyclobutane is 19.5˚ (Baeyer was incorrect in presuming the larger ring systems are flat) It is The deviation is higher for cyclopropane than difficult to explain the formation of cyclobutane therefore cyclopropane is more larger ring system on the basis of prone to undergo ring opening reactions. As a angle strain. Because, larger ring result of this, the strain is more in systems are not flat or planar that cyclopropane as compare to cyclobutane. It was assumed by Baeyer. These larger will make cyclopropane less stable than ring systems are puckered (wrinkled) cyclobutane. So, cyclopropane easily to eliminate possible angle strain. undergoes ring opening reaction as compare to cyclobutane. According to Baeyer, the Although it is difficult to synthesize relative order of stability for some common large rings according to Baeyer cycloalkanes is as under. theory, there are several methods for preparation of large rings.

Cyclohexane > Cyclopentane > Cyclobutane > Cyclopropane Five and six membered ring systems (Cyclopentane and Cyclohexane) are According to Baeyer, the bond angle in favorable to synthesize as they are cyclopentane is 108˚ (the geometry is large enough to free from strain and pentagonal) that is very close to tetrahedral small enough to undergo ring closure angle (109.5˚), so it is almost free from ring reaction. strain. Baeyer also proposed some facts for cyclohexanes that stood incorrect later on.

Introduction The determination of the molecular structure is undoubtedly an important issue in chemistry. The knowledge of the tridimensional structure allows the understanding and prediction of the chemical-physics properties and the potential applications of the resulting material. Nevertheless, even for a pure substance, the structure and measured properties reflect the behavior of many distinct geometries (conformers) averaged by the Boltzmann distribution. In general, for flexible molecules, several conformers can be found and the analysis of the physical and chemical properties of these isomers is known as conformational analysis (Eliel, 1965). In most of the cases, the conformational processes are associated with small rotational barriers around single bonds, and this fact often leads to mixtures, in which many conformations may exist in equilibrium (Franklin & Feltkamp, 1965). Therefore, the determination of temperature-dependent conformational population is very much welcomed in conformational analysis studies carried out by both experimentalists and theoreticians.

Campring Models for Measuring Ring Strain of Common Cycloalkanes Comparing Models for Measuring R..ing Strain of Common Cycloalkanes Brad A. Hobbs Dr. Kenneth C. McGill Chemistry Major Faculty Sponsor Introduction The number of carbon atoms bonded in the ring of a cycloalkane has a large effect on its energy. A molecule's energy has a vast impact on its stability. Determining the most stable form of a molecule is a usefol technique in the world of chemistry. One of the major factors that influ­ ence the energy (stability) of cycloalkanes is the molecule's ring strain. Ring strain is normally viewed as being directly proportional to the insta­ bility of a molecule. It is defined as a type of potential energy within the cyclic molecule, and is determined by the level of "strain" between the bonds of cycloalkanes. For example, propane has tl1e highest ring strain of all cycloalkanes. Each of propane's carbon atoms is sp3-hybridized.

    Text Related to Segment 5.02 ©2002 Claude E. Wintner From the previous segment we have the value of the heat of combustion of an "unstrained" methylene unit as -157.4 kcal/mole. On this basis one would predict that combustion of "unstrained" cyclopropane should liberate 3 X 157.4 = 472.2 kcal/mole; however, when cyclopropane is burned, a value of 499.8 kcal/mole is measured for the actual heat of combustion. The difference of 27.6 kcal/mole is interpreted as representing the higher internal energy ("strain energy") of real cyclopropane as compared to a postulated strain-free "model." ("Model" in this usage speaks of a proposal, or postulate.) These facts are graphed conveniently on an energy diagram as follows: "Strain Energy" represents the error units: kcal/mole not to scale in the "strain-free model" real cyclopropane + 4.5 O2 27.6 "strain-free model" of cyclopropane 499.8 observed heat of combustion + 4.5 O2 472.2 3CO2 + 3H2O heat of combustion predicted for "strain-free model" Note that this estimate of the strain energy in cyclopropane amounts to 9.2 kcal/mole of strain per methylene group (dividing 27.6 by 3, because of the three carbon atoms). Comparable values in kcal/mole for other small and medium rings are given in the following table. As one might expect, in general the strain decreases as the ring is enlarged. units: kcal/mole n Total Strain Strain per CH2 3 27.6 9.2 (CH2)n 4 26.3 6.6 5 6.2 1.2 6 0.1 0.0 ! 7 6.2 0.9 8 9.7 1.2 9 12.6 1.4 10 12.4 1.2 12 4.1 0.3 15 1.9 0.1 Without entering into a discussion of the relevant bonding concepts here, and instead relying on geometry alone, interpretation of the source of the strain energy in cyclopropane and cyclobutane is to some extent self-evident.

  • The Enthalpy of Formation of Organic Compounds with “Chemical Accuracy”
    chemengineering Article Group Contribution Revisited: The Enthalpy of Formation of Organic Compounds with “Chemical Accuracy” Robert J. Meier Pro-Deo Consultant, 52525 Heinsberg, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Group contribution (GC) methods to predict thermochemical properties are of eminent importance to process design. Compared to previous works, we present an improved group contri- bution parametrization for the heat of formation of organic molecules exhibiting chemical accuracy, i.e., a maximum 1 kcal/mol (4.2 kJ/mol) difference between the experiment and model, while, at the same time, minimizing the number of parameters. The latter is extremely important as too many parameters lead to overfitting and, therewith, to more or less serious incorrect predictions for molecules that were not within the data set used for parametrization. Moreover, it was found to be important to explicitly account for common chemical knowledge, e.g., geminal effects or ring strain. The group-related parameters were determined step-wise: first, alkanes only, and then only one additional group in the next class of molecules. This ensures unique and optimal parameter values for each chemical group. All data will be made available, enabling other researchers to extend the set to other classes of molecules.

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.
