P. Stonebraker Organic Chemistry II lecture UCB Extension Spring 2013 Extra Credit Report Papers Paper is strictly optional. Write a 4-6 page paper on a subject approved by the instructor (either picked from the list below or picked by yourself). Emphasis in the paper should be on the organic chemistry associated with the subject (how it is synthesized‚ uses‚ etc.). No two students can research the same subject. Maximum value of the paper will likely in the 20-40 point range‚ depending

* Introduction to Organic Chemistry Understand the basis of drawing organic structures Depicting 3-D structures in 2-D Most organic compounds have a three-dimensional structure. How do we represent structures on our two-dimensional page? For example‚ methane is a tetrahedral molecule: Bonds in the plane of the paper: Bonds coming towards the observer: (out of the page) Bonds going away

CLASSIFICATION TESTS A. Acids There are relatively few suitable tests for carboxylic acids. Classification is based mostly upon solubility tests. If the compound is water soluble‚ test the aqueous solution of your compound with pH paper (also check the pH of the original water). If the compound is water-insoluble and it dissolves in 5% (1.5M) sodium hydroxide and 5% NaHCO3 solutions as performed in your solubility tests‚ it can be classified as a carboxylic acid. Establish an equivalence value

(in the second centrifuge tube). Now wash (microscale) the combined extracts with saturated NaCl solution (5mL)‚ then with 10% aqueous potassium carbonate (5mL)‚ then with saturated NaCl solution (5 mL) again. Dry the organic layer with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Decant the organic layer into a small beaker and concentrate to roughly 0.2 mL by evaporation in the hood (do not apply heat!). If the sample goes to dryness‚ re-dissolve in hexane (0.2 mL). *Set aside a small amount of your crude

Trends in the Periodic table March 24‚ 2013 Four trends that will be covered: Atomic size Ionization Energy Electronegativity Electron Affinity Each of these has a group trend and a period trend A group trend refers to what is happening with the atom as you travel up or down a column of the periodic table. A period trend refers to what is happening with the atom as you move left or right across a row of the periodic table Atomic Size When discussing an atom’s size‚ usually the
