- Reactivity of a new molecule-Prediction of the lowest energy conformation of a new molecule--> a rapid evaluation of strains and stabilizing effects
2.1 Thermochemistry of stable molecules (strain and stability)
2.1.1 The concepts of internal stain and relative stability
Strain:
Is typically associated with a conformational distortion or nonoptimal bonding situation
relative to standard organic structures. The reference structure lacks the particular strain.
Internal energy:
It is the energy held or stored within a molecule. Part of this energy can be released when given an outlet such as a chemical reaction.
When a molecule has a higher potential energy (internal energy), it is less stable and/or more strained.
2.1.2 Types of energyGibbs free energy (ΔGo): It is change in ΔGo between two different chemical states that determines the position of equilibrium between these states.
A B←→
R = 4.184 kJ/molΔHo : enthalpy (kcal/mol)ΔSo : entropy (cal/mol·K)
Exergonic, when the Gibbs free energy of B is lower than A, spontaneous conversionEndergonic, when the Gibbs free energy of B is higher than A
Keq is influenced by temperature
Enthalpy (ΔHo): The change in enthalpy is defined as the change in heat between two different compositions of an ensemble of molecules at constant pressure if no work is done.
Exothermic, negative ΔHo
Endotherimic, positive ΔHo
Entropy (ΔSo): is a measure of the disorder of the system. -> degrees of freedom
the more degrees of freedom, the greater the entropy.
There are three different kinds of degrees of freedom: translational, rotational and
vibrational.
Translational and rotational refer to the translation of the molecule throughout space and tumbling of the molecule, respectively.
Vibrational refers to every kind of internal motion of the molecule, such as bond stretches, bond rotations and various forms of bond angle vibrations.
While entropy is certainly important for significant changes in chemical structure (such as cyclization), often when comparing two similar structures, the difference in entropies will be fairly small. Thus, ΔHo is mainly considered in reactions.
2.1.3 Bond dissociation energies
Is defined as ΔHo.
(bond strength)
Homolytic cleavage
A larger BDE implies a less stable radical.
1. F > OH > NH2, the larger the electronegativity difference, the stronger the bond.
2. Shorter bonds are stronger bonds; O-H > N-H> C-H
3. F > Cl > Br > I; move down the periodic table, the valence orbitals of X get progressively larger. The larger orbital size leads to a size mismatch with the carbon valence orbitals, and this weakens the bond by decreasing orbital overlap.
4. Hybridization
C(sp)-H > C(sp2)-H > C(sp3)-H, more s character in a hybrid orbital makes the group
more electronegative and decreases the bond length.
5. Resonance
PhCH2-H (88 kcal/mol) and CH2=CH-CH2-H (86 kcal/mol)
6. O-O bonds of peroxides: generally very weak
