vital force theory by Berzelius, 1807 compounds from living organisms ~ ‘organic’ comp’ds from minerals ~ ‘inorganic’
death of VFT synthesis of urea (‘organic’) from ‘inorganic’ Wöhler, 1828
the current definition of organic comp’ds “compounds that contain carbon”
Organic compounds Ch 1 #3
VFT is dead!! VFT-1: Organic compounds from living organism (plant or
animal) only
VFT-2: An organic compound still contains some of the life force of the organism that makes them. vitamin C, saponin, etc
natural vs synthetic (p3) Vitamin C is vitamin C!
vitamin C ≡ L-ascorbic acid

Chemistry of carbon comp’d organic chemistry = chemistry of carbon comp’d
why carbon? forms stable covalent bond to other carbon sharing electrons Li+, F- vs C4+ or C4-
forms chain variety (16M org comp’ds)
forms bonds to heteroatoms (O, N, S, P, X, etc.)
exceptions: CO, CO2, Na2CO3, etc. ~ inorganic

Acidity: effect of atom bonded to H The weaker [more stable] the conjugate base,
the stronger the acid.
effect of EN

Acidity: inductive effect (of substituent)
EN X pulls e through σ bond better than H does
inductive e-withdrawing makes conj base stable acid strong
weaken O-H bond better leaving H acid strong

from definition of pH and pKa
tells [acidic form, HA]/[basic form, A-]in solution of certain pH acidic form when pH < pKa

+ to water
charged (ionic) to water (polar);neutral (organic) to ether (organic).

Lewis acids and bases Lewis acid ~ accepts (a share in) an electron pair
Lewis base ~ donates (a share in) an electron pair
Lewis bases are BL bases.
Lewis acids are not limited to BL acids. Protonic acids are Lewis acids. ~ H+ accept e pair.
AlBr3, BF3, FeCl3, BH3, etc ~ usually-called Lewis acid do not give out H+; accepts e pair with empty orbital
