Make a model of butane. 2. Make a separate model of isobutane. 3. Using a minimum number of changes, convert your model of isobutane into butane. University of Slide 6 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Self Test Question What action did you have to perform to convert isobutane to butane? A. rotate around C2-C3 bond If you have to break bonds B. remove methyl group from C-2 to interconvert isomers, they are constitutional C. add one methyl group to C-1 (structural) isomers D. add one methyl group to C-2 E. rotate around C1-C2 University of Slide 7 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Rotation Around Single Bonds conformations: different spatial arrangements of atoms generated by rotation around single bonds conformational analysis: comparison of the relative energies of different conformational isomers and how they in#uence properties and reactivity lowest energy University of Slide 8 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Measuring Relative Positions of Atoms dihedral angle: angle between two intersecting planes; also called the torsion angle plane can be de!ned by: • 3 non-collinear points • a line & a point not on that line • two intersecting lines • two parallel lines University of Slide 9 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Eclipsed Conformation of Ethane 0º H H • C–H bonds on adjacent carbons are parallel (same plane) • H–C–C–H angle (dihedral angle) = 0º • highest energy conformation University of Slide 10 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Staggered Conformation of Ethane 60º H H • C–H bond bisects (cuts in half) H–C–H angle on adjacent carbon • H–C–C–H angle (dihedral angle) = 60º • lowest energy conformation for ethane University of Slide 11 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Drawing Conformations: Wedge & Dash H H H H H H H H H H H H = group is pointing toward you, in front of the plane of paper rarely followed convention: = group is pointing away from you, behind the plane of paper thickest part of = group is either toward or wedge or dash is away from you, usually denotes mixtures always closest to viewer = group lies in the plane of the drawing surface University of Slide 12 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Drawing Conformations: Sawhorse CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C H3C H3C H H H CH3 H H CH3 H H H H H3C H H H3C H H H • one C–C bond viewed “head-on” from oblique angle (acute or obtuse, but not 0º, 90º or 180º); skewed • all atoms on central C–C bond are shown University of Slide 13 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Why a Sawhorse? University of Slide 14 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Drawing Conformations: Newman Projection CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C H3C H3C H H H H H H3C H H H3C CH3 H H CH3 H H H H H • one C–C bond viewed “head-on” at 0º angle • all atoms on central C–C bond are shown • circle represents back carbon atom University of Slide 15 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Spatial Relationships in Staggered Conformations: Anti & Gauche 0 ° 60 ° Y Y Y X X H H H 180 ° H H H H H H H H H X Torsion Angle = 0° Torsion Angle = 60° Torsion Angle = 180° Eclipsed Gauche Anti-Periplannar •anti: dihedral angle (torsion angle) = 180º •gauche: dihedral angle (torsion angle) = 60º •these relationships apply to any groups on adjacent carbon atoms University of Slide 16 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Comparison of Conformational Drawings of Eclipsed and Staggered Ethane Ball & Stick Newman Sawhorse Dash & Wedge H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H HH H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H University of Slide 17 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Self Test Question What is the IUPAC name for molecule below?

HO CH3 D. d H H H H H HBr HO Br H H H University of Slide 19 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Conformational Analysis of Ethane staggered conformation more stable than eclipsed torsional strain: torsion angles (dihedral angles) are other than 60º (gauche) University of Slide 20 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Two Conflicting Arguments Explain Preference for Staggered Conformation 1. Steric Repulsion Electrons in vicinal (adjacent) bonds destabilize (raise energy) in eclipsed conformations due to repulsion; they are closer. 2. Hyperconjugation: Electrons in vicinal (adjacent) bonds are delocalized by overlap between bonding and anti-bonding orbitals University of Slide 21 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 1. Steric Repulsion *Read on.....www.chem.uic. maximum electron- electron repulsion H edu. H H H H H H H H H H H eclipsed staggered • widely accepted explanation until 2001* • electron-electron repulsion is greatest in eclipsed conformation University of Slide 22 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Brief Revision of Molecular Orbitals Molecular Orbitals Review: H C • node = where orbitals change σ∗ sign = no electrons found • number of atomic orbitals = number of molecular orbitals • bonding orbital (σ) is lower C in energy than both atomic y g r e orbitals n E 2sp3 • anti-bonding orbital (σ*) = H less electron density between nuclei than if no bond at all; 1s electrons from each atom repel each other • even though an anti-bonding σ (s*) orbital may not be filled H C with electrons; it is still present in the molecule University of Slide 23 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 2.

Hyperconjugation: Role in Conformations hyperconjugation: donation (transfer) of electrons from a !lled orbital to an empty orbital; orbitals must overlap to allow transfer Eclipsed Staggered σC–H σ*C–H σC–H σ*C–H σ & σ* weak overlap = σ & σ* strong overlap = no hyperconjugation = hyperconjugation (σ→σ*) = no electron delocalization = delocalized electrons = no additional stabilization lower energy (more stable) University of Slide 25 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Conformational Analysis of Butane University of Slide 26 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Van der Waals Strain (Steric Strain) in Staggered Conformations of Butane Gauche Anti CH3 CH3 H CH3 H H H H H H H CH3 • The gauche conformation of butane is 3 kJ/mol less stable than the anti. • The gauche conformation is destabilized by van der Waals strain (also called steric strain); repulsive van der Waals force between methyl groups • van der Waals strain = destabilization that results from atoms being too close together; nuclear-nuclear & electron-electron repulsions dominate University of Slide 27 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Van der Waals Strain (Steric Strain) • conformation of butane with two methyl group eclipsed is the least stable (highest in energy) • destabilized by both torsional strain (eclipsed vicinal bonds) and van der Waals strain (atoms close together) University of Slide 28 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 Conformation of Higher Alkanes • anti arrangements of C-C-C-C units • all vicinal (adjacent) bonds = gauche or anti • minimize torsional strain; minimize steric strain • described as “zig-zag” backbone University of Slide 29 CHEM 494, Fall 2012 Illinois at Chicago UIC Lecture 4 CHEM 494 University of Illinois Special Topics in Chemistry at Chicago UIC Conformational Isomers of 3-5 Carbon Cycloalkanes Self Test Question Geometry: What are the angles in a regular pentagon?
