CHE 331 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Leaving Group, Stereospecificity, Double Bond
Document Summary
Naming compounds: stereoisomerism - indicates whether double bonds are cis/trans, and indicates stereocenters (r/s. E/z: substituents - groups coming off main chain, parents - main chain, unsaturation - double/triple bond, functional group - the group after which the compound is named. Example (start from the bottom and work up, but name is done top down) Cyanide and good leaving group (cyanide and a good. Enamines are made from secondary amines with a carbonyl that has no good leaving groups(ketones or aldehydes) When there is a nabh3cn, an imine is made instead. Chair configuration (dashed = upyou thought it would be down. Important group (largest mass) in chair is equatorial reaction wont happen. Conformation - molecules are conformers of each other if you can only rotate about one or more single bonds. Configuration (type of stereoisomer) - molecules are configurational isomers if they have to break bonds to be similar.
