The alkali metals have the interesting property of dissolving in some non-aqueous solvents, notably liquid ammonia, to give clear coloured solutions which are excellent reducing agents and are often used as such in organic chemistry. Sodium (for example) forms an intensely blue solution in liquid ammonia and here the outer (3s) electron of each sodium atom is believed to become associated with the solvent ammonia in some way, i.e. the system is Na (solvent) + e" (sohem). 

Organic chemistry is characterized by a cornucopia of different chemical structures. This is largely because the atoms of an organic molecule can be arranged in a variety of different bonding situations. 

An R-matrix has a series of interesting matheinatical properties that directly reflect chemical laws. Thus, the sum of all the entries in an R-matrix must be zero, as no electrons can be generated or annihilated in a chemical reaction. Furthermore, the sum of the entries in each row or column of an R-matrix must also he zero as long as there is not a change in formal charges on the corresponding atom. An elaborate mathematical model of the constitutional aspects of organic chemistry has been built on the basis of BE- and R-matriccs [17. ... 

One of the cornerstones of the chemistry of carbon compounds (organic chemistry) is Kekule s concept, proposed in 1858, of the tetra-valence of carbon. It was independently proposed in the same year by Couper who, however, got little recognition (vide infra). Kekule realized that carbon can bind at the same time to not more than four other atoms or groups. It can, however, at the same time use one or more of its valences to form bonds to another carbon atom. In this way carbon can form chains or rings, as well as multiple-bonded compounds. 

One more hybridization scheme is important m organic chemistry It is called sp hybridization and applies when carbon is directly bonded to two atoms as m acetylene The structure of acetylene is shown m Figure 2 18 along with its bond distances and bond angles Its most prominent feature is its linear geometry... 

Reduction (Section 2 19) Gam in the number of electrons as sociated with an atom In organic chemistry reduction of carbon occurs when a bond between carbon and an atom which IS more electronegative than carbon is replaced by a bond to an atom which is less electronegative than carbon Reductive ami nation (Section 22 10) Method for the prepara tion of amines in which an aldehyde or a ketone is treated with ammonia or an amine under conditions of catalytic hy drogenation...

Heteroeyeles structurally based on the phenalene ring system form an interesting elass, frequently possessing distinetive eolours. With nitrogen as the central atom we have the unstable 9b-azaphenalene (24), whieh has only fairly reeently been prepared and is still comparatively little studied (76JCS(Pl)34l). The cyclazine nomenclature is commonly applied to this and related compounds thus, (24) is (3.3.3)cyclazine. With further aza substitution, in positions alternant to the central atom, their stability increases the heptaazaphenalene (25) is (thermally) a very inert compound, derivatives of which, e.g. the triamine, have been known since the early days of organic chemistry (see Chapter 2.20). 

The most important interatomic bond in polymers, and indeed in organic chemistry, is the covalent bond. This is formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. An example is the bonding of carbon and hydrogen to form methane Figure 5.2). 

When a Br nsted base functions catalytically by sharing an electron pair with a proton, it is acting as a general base catalyst, but when it shares the electron with an atom other than the proton it is (by definition) acting as a nucleophile. This other atom (electrophilic site) is usually carbon, but in organic chemistry it might also be, for example, phosphorus or silicon, whereas in inorganic chemistry it could be the central metal ion in a coordination complex. Here we consider nucleophilic reactions at unsaturated carbon, primarily at carbonyl carbon. Nucleophilic reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives have been well studied. These acyl transfer reactions can be represented by... 

Nomenclature follows the well-established oxa-aza convention of organic chemistry. Numbering begins with the apex atom of lowest coordination and successive rings or belts of polyhedral vertex atoms are numbered in a clockwise direction with C atoms being given the lowest possible numbers within these rules. ...

The ability of C to catenate (i.e. to form bonds to itself in compounds) is nowhere better illustrated than in the compounds it forms with H. Hydrocarbons occur in great variety in petroleum deposits and elsewhere, and form various homologous series in which the C atoms are linked into chains, branched chains and rings. The study of these compounds and their derivatives forms the subject of organic chemistry and is fully discussed in the many textbooks and treatises on that subject. The matter is further considered on p. 374 in relation to the much smaller ability of other Group 14 elements to form such catenated compounds. Methane, CH4, is the archetype of tetrahedral coordination in molecular compounds some of its properties are listed in Table 8.4 where they are compared with those of the... 

The division of the molecular volume into atomic basins follows from a deeper analysis based on the principle of stationary action. The shapes of the atomic basins, and the associated electron densities, in a functional group are very similar in different molecules. The local properties of the wave function are therefore transferable to a very good approximation, which rationalizes the basis for organic chemistry, that functional groups react similarly in different molecules. It may be shown that any observable... 

Organic chemistry is based on carbon, but nitrogen is fundamental to heterocyclic chemistry. Although there are many important aromatic heterocycles without nitrogen atoms (thiophene, furan, pyrylium salts, etc.), it is clear that the majority of heterocyclic systems contain nitrogen atoms. Thus, NMR spectroscopy ( " N NMR yields the same chemical shifts... 

Nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atom of halogenomethylisoxazoles proceeds readily this reaction does not differ essentially from that of benzyl halides. One should note the successful hydrolysis of 4-chloromethyl- and 4-(chlorobenzyl)-isoxazoles by freshly precipitated lead oxide, a reagent seldom used in organic chemistry. Other halides, ethers, and esters of the isoxazole series have been obtained from 3- and 4-halogenomethylisoxazoles, and 3-chloro-methylisoxazole has been reported in the Arbuzov rearrangement. Panizzi has used dichloromethylisoxazole derivatives to synthesize isoxazole-3- and isoxazole-5-aldehydes/ ...
