Organic chemistry isomerism

C. Rucker used the mathematical tools deteuled herein to develop software to find quantitative structure-property relationships (MOLGEN-QSPR) and software for teaching and studying a few facets of organic chemistry, isomerism and in particular stereoisomerism (UNIMOLIS). 

Take the Final Function Value of TINKER as the steric energy for this calculation. Compare the results with each other and with a standard value from a good elementar-y organic chemistry text (e.g., Ege, 1994). Calculate for the reaction cis trans and compare it with a standard text and with Kistiakowsky s original value. Kistiakowsky s original work was carried out at 355 K, but the temperature difference between 298 K and 355 K cancels for this isomerization. 

Constitutional isomerism is not limited to alkanes—it occurs widely throughout organic chemistry. Constitutional isomers may have different carbon skeletons (as in isobutane and butane), different functional groups (as in ethanol and dimethyl ether), or different locations of a functional group along the chain (as in isopropylamine and propylamine). Regardless of the reason for the isomerism, constitutional isomers are always different compounds with different properties, but with the same formula. 

Isomerism is very important in organic chemistry, and the topic is developed again in Section 18.2.

This review will restrict itself to boron-carbon multiple bonding in carbon-rich systems, as encountered in organic chemistry, and leave the clusters of carboranes rich in boron to the proper purview of the inorganic chemist. Insofar as such three-dimensional clusters are considered at all in these review, interest will focus on the carbon-rich carboranes and the effect of ring size and substituents, both on boron and carbon, in determining the point of equilibrium between the cyclic organoborane and the isomeric carborane cluster. A typical significant example would be the potential interconversion of the l,4-dibora-2,5-cyclohexadiene system (7) and the 2,3,4,5-tetracarbahexaborane(6) system (8) as a function of substituents R (Eq. 2).

Conjugated olefins have played a key role in the development of theoretical models in organic chemistry. In this section we will examine in detail conformational isomerism in 1,3 dienes and related molecules. 

Based on the various hybridization states of carbon, (Figure 1.2) at least four major carboskeletal architectures are known [6, 15]. They are recognized as (I) linear, (II) bridged (2D/3D), (III) branched and (IV) dendritic. In adherence with skeletal isomerism principles demonstrated by Berzelius (1832) these major architectural classes determine very important differentiated physicochemical properties that define major areas within traditional organic chemistry (e.g. linear versus branched hydrocarbons). It is interesting to note that analogous...

An interesting, important, and common phenomenon in organic chemistry is that of structural isomerism. Consider a molecule having two carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and two chlorine atoms (C2H4CI2). These atoms are capable of binding to each other in two different ways as shown. 

So, if you put the phenomenon of isomerism together with the propensity of carbon to react (the valence of four), and add to that nature s bountiRil supply of carbon on this planet, you can understand the preponderance of compounds and the importance of organic chemistry.

Volume 103 of our series contains three substantial chapters. M.M. Krayushkin and M.A. Kalik (affiliated with Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow) summarize synthetic work directed to photochromic dihetarylethenes. Work has been especially concentrated on dithienylethenes that have considerable potential derived from photochemically induced isomerizations between the cis-and trans-forms and cyclized derivatives. 

Optical isomerism is the result of a dissymmetry in molecular suhstitution. The basic aspects of optical isomerism are discussed in various textbooks of organic chemistry. Optical isomers (enantiomers) may have different physiological activities from each other provided that their interaction with a receptor or some other effector structure involves the asymmetric carbon atom of the enantiomeric molecule and that the three different substituents on this carbon atom interact with the receptor. The Easson-Stedman hypothesis assumes that a three-point interaction ensures stereospecificity, since only one of the enantiomers will fit the other one is capable of a two-point attachment only, as shown in figure 1.13 for the reaction with a hypothetical planar receptor. However, it is reasonable to assume that receptor stereospecificity can also undergo a change when the receptor conformation is altered by a receptor-drug interaction. 

Another important concept from organic chemistry that has an impact on polymer structure is that of isomerism. Recall that structural isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula, but different molecular architectures. For example, there are two different types of propyl alcohols, both with the same formula, depending on where the —OH functional group is placed on the carbon backbone (see Figure 1.53). Another type of isomerism results in stereoisomers, in which the functional groups are... 

The methane molecule is a very important molecule in organic chemistry, the geometry around the tetravalent carbon atom being basic to the understanding of the structure, isomerism and optical activity of a very large number of compounds. It is a tetrahedral molecule belonging to the tetrahedral point group, Td. 

Based upon the organic chemistry of the isomerization of xylenes, the probability of a direct isomerization from o-xylene to p-xylene is quite small. Furthermore, in homogeneously catalyzed liquid-phase reaction the simple series reaction scheme has been demonstrated (7,8,9,10,11,12).
