1. Alkanes
/./-An lntroduction
Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons having only C –C and C – H σ bonds.
• Acyclic alkanes have the molecular formula CnH2n + 2.
• Cycloalkanes contain carbons joined in one or more rings. Because their general formula is CnH2n.
Acyclic Alkanes Having One to Five C Atoms
There are two different ways to arrange four carbons, giving two compounds with molecular formula C4H10, named
butane and isobutane.
Problem.1. Which of the following is not another representation for isopentane?
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
• A primary carbon (1° carbon) is bonded to one other C atom. • A secondary carbon (2° carbon) is bonded to two other C atoms.
• A tertiary carbon (3° carbon) is bonded to three other C atoms. • A quaternary (4° carbon) is bonded to four other C atoms.

/./- Conformations of Acyclic Alkanes—Ethane
Let’s now take a closer look at the three-dimensional structure of alkanes. Rotation occurs around carbon–carbon σ
bonds.
• Conformations are different arrangements of atoms that are interconverted by rotation about single bonds.
•In the eclipsed conformation, the C – H bonds on one carbon are directly aligned with the C – H bonds on the
adjacent carbon.
• In the staggered conformation, the C – H bonds on one carbon bisect the H – C– H bond angle on the adjacent carbon.

2.Stereochemistry
2./. TheTwo Major Classes of lsomers
• Isomers are different compounds with the same molecular formula.
There are two major classes of isomers: constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. Constitutional (or structural) isomers
differ in the way the atoms are connected to each other.
Stereoisomers differ only in the way atoms are oriented in space. A particular three-dimensional arrangement is called a
configuration.
Problem.25. Classify each pair of compounds as constitutional isomers or stereoisomers.
ANSWER:
2.2. Chiral and Achiral
Molecules
• A molecule (or object) that is not superimposable on its mirror image is said to be chiral.
• A molecule (or object) that is superimposable on its mirror image is said to be achiral.
Let’s determine whether three molecules—H2O, CH2BrCl, and CHBrClF—are superimposable on their mirror images; that is, are H2O,
CH2BrCl, and CHBrClF chiral or achiral?

• Drawthe molecule in three dimensions.
• Draw its mirror image.
•Try to align all bonds and atoms. To superimpose a molecule and its mirror image you can perform any rotation but you
cannot break bonds.
Following this procedure, H2O and CH2BrCl are both achiral molecules because each molecule is superimposable on its
mirror image.
A and B are stereoisomers because they are isomers differing only in the three-dimensional arrangement of substituents.
These stereoisomers are called enantiomers.
• Enantiomers are mirror images that are not superimposable.
• A molecule that is not superimposable on its mirror image is a chiral molecule.
• A carbon atom bonded to four different groups is a stereogenic center.
Problem.26. Draw the mirror image of each compound. Label each molecule as chiral or achiral.
ANSWER:
•A plane of symmetry is a mirror plane that cuts a molecule in half, so that one half of the molecule is a reflection
of the other half.
• Achiral molecules usually contain a plane of symmetry but chiral molecules do not.

Problem.33. Locatethe stereogenic centers in each compound.
ANSWER:
2.5. Labeling Stereogenic Centers with R or S
Rule 1 Assign priorities (1, 2, 3, or 4) to the atoms directly bonded to the stereogenic center in order of decreasing
atomic number. The atom of highest atomic number gets the highest priority (1).
Rule 2 If two atoms on a stereogenic center are the same, assign priority based on the atomic number of the atoms
bonded to these atoms. One atom of higher atomic number determines a higher priority.
Rule 3 If two isotopes are bonded to the stereogenic center, assign priorities in order of decreasing mass number.
• In comparing the three isotopes of hydrogen, the order of priorities is:
Rule 4 To assign a priority to an atom that is part of a multiple bond, treat a multiply bonded atom as an equivalent
number of singly bonded atoms.
• For example, the C of a C=O is considered to be bonded to two O atoms.

Sample Problem 5.3 Label the following compound as R or S.
Solution
In this problem, the lowest priority group (H) is oriented in front of, not behind, the page. To assign R or S in this case:
• Switch the position of the lowest priority group (H) with the group located behind the page ( – CH2CH3).
• Determine R or S in the usual manner.
•Reverse the answer. Because we switched the position of two groups on the stereogenic center to begin with, and there
are only two possibilities, the answer is opposite to the correct answer.

a. 90%ee b. 99% ee c. 60% ee
ANSWER:
a. 90% ee means 90% excess of A, and 10% racemic mixture of A and B (5% each); therefore,
95% A and 5% B.
b. 99% ee means 99% excess of A, and 1% racemic mixture of A and B (0.5% each); therefore,
99.5% A and 0.5% B.
c. 60% ee means 60% excess of A, and 40% racemic mixture of A and B (20% each); therefore,
80% A and 20% B.
The enantiomeric excess can also be calculated if two quantities are known the specific
rotation [α] of a mixture and the
specific rotation [α] of a pure enantiomer
Problem.52. Pure MSG, a common flavor enhancer, exhibits a specific rotation of +24. (a) Calculate the

ANSWER:
2.//. The Physical Properties of Qiastereomers
Diastereomers are not mirror images of each other, and as such, their physical properties are different, including optical
rotation.
• The physical properties of A and B differ from their diastereomer C.
•The physical properties of a racemic mixture of A and B (last column) can also differ from either enantiomer or
diastereomer C.
• C is an achiral meso compound, so it is optically inactive; [α] = 0.
•Because two enantiomers have identical physical properties, they cannot be separated by common physical
techniques like distillation.
•Diastereomers and constitutional isomers have different physical properties, and therefore they can be separated by
common physical techniques.

Problem.54. Comparethe physical properties of the three stereoisomers of 1,3-
dimethylcyclopentane.
a. How do the boiling points of A and B compare? What about A and C?
b. Characterize a solution of each of the following as optically active or optically inactive: pure A;
pure B; pure C; an equal mixture of A and B; an equal mixture of A and C.
c.A reaction forms a 1:1:1 mixture of A, B, and C. If this mixture is distilled, how many fractions would be obtained?
Which fractions would be optically active and which would be optically inactive?
ANSWER:
a. The bp's of A and B are the same. The bp's of A and C are different.
b.Pure A: optically
active Pure B: optically
active Pure C: optically
inactive
Equal mixture of A and B: optically inactive
Equal mixture of A and C: optically active
There would be two fractions: one
containing A and B (optically inactive), and
one containing C (optically inactive).
2./2. Chemical Properties of
Enantiomers
•Two enantiomers have exactly the same chemical properties except for their
reaction with chiral, non-racemic reagents.
For an everyday analogy, consider what happens when you are handed an achiral object like a right-handed glove. Your
left and right hands are enantiomers, but they can both hold the achiral pen in the same way. With the glove, however,
only your right hand can fi t inside it, not your left.
2.12.1 Chiral Drugs
A living organism is a sea of chiral molecules. Many drugs are chiral, and often they must interact with a chiral receptor or
a chiral enzyme to be effective. One enantiomer of a drug may effectively treat a disease whereas its mirror image may be
ineffective. Alternatively, one enantiomer may trigger one biochemical response and its mirror image may elicit a totally
different response.
For example, the drugs ibuprofen and fluoxetine each contain one stereogenic center, and thus exist as a pair of
enantiomers, only one of which exhibits biological activity.
(S)-Ibuprofen is the active component of the anti-inflammatory agents Motrin and Advil, and (R)-fluoxetine is the active
component in the antidepressant Prozac.

c. Chas both an enantiomer and a diastereomer. d. D has a
diastereomer but no enantiomer.
e. E has a diastereomer but no enantiomer.
ANSWER:
All molecules have a mirror image, but only chiral molecules have enantiomers. A is not chiral, and therefore,
does not have an enantiomer.
B has one stereogenic center, and therefore, has an enantiomer. Only compounds with two or more stereogenic
centers have diastereomers.
C is chiral and has two stereogenic centers, and therefore, has both an enantiomer and a
diastereomer.
D has two stereogenic centers, but is a meso compound. Therefore, it has a diastereomer,
but no enantiomer since it is achiral.
E has two stereogenic centers, but is a meso compound. Therefore, it has a diastereomer, but no
enantiomer since it is achiral.

3. Alkenes
/./.lntroduction
Alkenes are compounds that contain a carbon–carbon double bond. Terminal alkenes have the double bond at the end of
the carbon chain, whereas internal alkenes have at least one carbon atom bonded to each end of the double bond.
Cycloalkenes contain a double bond in a ring.
•The bond is much weaker than the σ bond of a C – C double bond, making it much more easily broken. As a
result, alkenes undergo many reactions that alkanes do not.
Problem.77. Draw the six alkenes of molecular formula C5H10. Label one pair of diastereomers.

/./. Nomenclature
3.3.1.General IUPAC Rules
Example Give the IUPAC name of the following alkene:
The alkene is named as a derivative of heptene because the seven-carbon chain contains both atoms of the double bond,
but the eight-carbon chain does not.
In naming cycloalkenes, the double bond is located between C1 and C2, and the “1” is usually omitted in the name. The
ring is numbered clockwise or counterclockwise to give the first substituent the lower number.
Compounds that contain both a double bond and a hydroxy group are named as alkenols, and the chain (or ring) is
numbered to give the OH group the lower number.

An alkene having one alkyl group bonded to each carbon atom can be named using the prefixes cis and Trans to designate
the relative location of the two alkyl groups. For example, cis-3-hexene has two ethyl groups on the same side of the
double bond, whereas trans-3-hexene has two ethyl groups on opposite sides of the double bond.

Most alkenes exhibit only weak van der Waals interactions, so their physical properties are similar to alkanes of
comparable molecular weight.
• Alkenes have low melting points and boiling points.
• Melting points and boiling points increase as the number of carbons increases because of increased surface
area.
• Alkenes are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water.
•A cis alkene is more polar than a trans alkene, giving it a slightly higher boiling point and making it more soluble
in polar solvents.

Sample Problem 10.4 Draw the products of the following reaction, including stereochemistry.
With unsymmetrical alkenes, two constitutional isomers are possible from addition of X and OH, but only one is formed.
The preferred product has the electrophile X+ bonded to the less substituted carbon atom—that is, the carbon that has
more H atoms to begin with in the reacting alkene. Thus, the nucleophile (H2O) bonds to the more substituted carbon.

When porbitals overlap, the electron density in each of the o bonds is spread out over a larger volume, thus lowering
the energy of the molecule and making it more stable. The four p orbitals on adjacent atoms make a 1,3-diene a
conjugated system.
The π bonds in 1,4-pentadiene are too far apart to be
conjugated.
Problem131. Classify each diene as isolated or conjugated.

4.Alkynes
4./. lntroduction.
Theycontain a carbon–carbon triple bond. A terminal alkyne has the triple bond at the end of the carbon chain, so that a
hydrogen atom is directly bonded to a carbon atom of the triple bond. An internal alkyne has a carbon atom bonded to
each carbon atom of the triple bond.
An alkyne has the general molecular formula CnH2n – 2, giving it four fewer hydrogens than the maximum number
possible. Because every degree of unsaturation removes two hydrogens, a triple bond introduces two degrees of
unsaturation.
4.2. Nomenclature
Sample Problem 11.1 Give the IUPAC name for the following alkyne.
Problem.137. Give the IUPAC name for each compound. a. H–CΞC–CH2C(CH2CH2CH3)3

Problem.138. Givethe structure corresponding to each of the following names.
a.trans-2-ethynylcyclopentanol b. 4-tert-butyl-5-decyne c. 3-methylcyclononyne
answer:
4./. Physical Properties
• Alkynes have low melting points and boiling points.
• Melting points and boiling points increase as the number of carbons increases.
• Alkynes are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water.
Problem.139. Explain why an alkyne often has a slightly higher boiling point than an alkene of similar
molecular weight. For example, the bp of 1-pentyne is 39 o
C, and the bp of 1-pentene is 30 o
C.
answer:
Two factors cause the boiling point increase. The linear sp hybridized C’s of the alkyne allow for more van der Waals
attraction between alkyne molecules. Also, since a triple bond is more polarizable than a double bond, this increases
the van der Waals forces between two molecules as well.
4.4. Preparation of Alkynes
Alkynes are prepared by elimination reactions. A strong base removes two equivalents of HX from a vicinal or geminal
dihalide to yield an alkyne by two successive E2 eliminations.
Sample Problem 11.2 Convert alkene A into alkyne B by a stepwise method.
Problem. 140. Convert each compound to 1-hexyne, HCΞCCH2CH2CH2CH3.

a. Br2CH(CH2)4CH3
answer:
5. lntroduction to Alkyne Reactions
1. Terminal Alkynes—Reaction as an Acid
Because sp hybridized C – H bonds are more acidic than sp2 and sp3 hybridized C – H bonds, terminal alkynes are readily
deprotonated with strong base in a Bronsted–Lowry acid–base reaction. The resulting anion is called an acetylide anion.
Table A Comparison of Bases for Alkyne Deprotonation
Problem.141. Which bases can deprotonate acetylene? The pKa values of the conjugate acids are
given in parentheses.
a. CH3NH–
(pKa = 40)
2– – –
Acetylene has a pKa of 25, so bases having a conjugate acid with a pKa above 25 will be able to deprotonate it.
answer:
a.CH3NH– [pKa (CH3NH2) = 40]
2–
b.CO3 [pKa (HCO3–) = 10.2]
c.CH2=CH– [pKa (CH2=CH2) = 44]
d.(CH3)3CO– {pKa [(CH3)3COH] = 18}
pKa > 25 = Can deprotonate acetylene.
pKa < 25 = Cannot deprotonate acetylene.
pKa > 25 = Can deprotonate acetylene.
pKa < 25 = Cannot deprotonate acetylene
4.5.1.1 Reaction of Acetylide
Anions
Steric hindrance around the leaving group causes 2° and 3° alkyl halides to undergo elimination by an E2 mechanism, as
shown with 2-bromo-2-methylpropane.

Physical
Properties
Alkyl halides are weakly polar molecules. They exhibit dipole–dipole interactions because of their polar C – X bond, but
because the rest of the molecule contains only C – C and C – H bonds they are incapable of intermolecular hydrogen
bonding.
Problem.171. Rank the compounds in each group in order of increasing boiling point.
a. CH3CH2CH2I, CH3CH2CH2Cl, CH3CH2CH2F b. CH3(CH2)4CH3, CH3(CH2)5Br, CH3(CH2)5OH
answer:
Table Physical Properties of Alkyl Halides
Problem.172. An sp3 hybridized C – Cl bond is more polar than an sp2 hybridized C – Cl bond. (a)
Explain why this phenomenon arises. (b) Rank the following compounds in order of increasing boiling
point.
answer:
a. Because an sp2 hybridized C has a higher percent s-character than an sp3 hybridized C,
it holds electron density closer to C. This pulls a little more electron density towards C,
away from Cl, and thus a Csp2–Cl bond is less polar than a Csp3–Cl bond.

5./. -GeneralFeatures of Nucleophilic
Substitution
Three components are necessary in any substitution reaction.
1 R—An alkyl group R containing an sp3 hybridized carbon bonded to X.
2 X—An atom X (or a group of atoms) called a leaving group.
3:Nu– —A nucleophile. Nucleophiles contain a lone pair or a π-bond but not necessarily a (-)
charge. Because these substitution reactions involve electron-rich nucleophiles, they are called
nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Note that all atoms originally bonded to the nucleophile stay bonded to it after substitution occurs.
when the substitution product bears a positive charge and also contains a proton bonded to O or N, the initial substitution
product readily loses a proton in a Bronsted–Lowry acid–base reaction, forming a neutral product.
Problem.173. Identify the nucleophile and leaving group and draw the products of each reaction.

answer:
Problem.174. Drawthe product of nucleophilic substitution with each neutral
nucleophile. When the initial substitution product can lose a proton to form a neutral
product, draw that product as well.
answer:
5.3.1. The Leaving Group
• In comparing two leaving groups, the better leaving group is the weaker base.
• Left-to-right across a row of the periodic table, basicity decreases so leaving group ability increases.
• Down a column of the periodic table, basicity decreases so leaving group ability increases.
All good leaving groups are weak bases with strong conjugate acids having low pKa values.
Thus, all halide anions except F– are good leaving groups because their conjugate acids (HCl, HBr, and HI) have low pKa
values.

Problem.175. Which is the better leaving group in each pair?
answer:
• Better leaving groups are weaker bases.
• A neutral leaving group is always better than its conjugate
base.
d. CH3CH3
Problem.176. Which molecules contain good leaving groups?
a. CH3CH2CH2Br b. CH3CH2CH2OH c. CH3CH2OH2
answer:
Equilibrium favors the products of nucleophilic substitution when the leaving group is a weaker base than the nucleophile.
Sample Problem; Will the following substitution reaction favor formation of the products?
Because Cl–, the leaving group, is a weaker base than –OH, the nucleophile, the reaction favors the Products

reaction?
answer:
Problem.178. Should it be possible to convert CH3CH2CH2OH to CH3CH2CH2Cl by a
nucleophilic substitution reaction with NaCl? Explain why or why not.
answer:
It is not possible to convert CH3CH2CH2OH to CH3CH2CH2Cl by nucleophilic substitution with NaCl
because –
OH is a stronger base and poorer leaving group than Cl–
.
5.3.2. -The Nucleophile
Nucleophiles and bases are structurally similar: both have a lone pair or a π- bond. They differ in what they attack.
• Bases attack protons. Nucleophiles attack other electron-deficient atoms (usually carbons).
5.3.3. nucleophilicity versus Basicity
Nucleophilicity parallels basicity in three instances:
1 For two nucleophiles with the same nucleophilic atom, the stronger base is the stronger nucleophile.
• The relative nucleophilicity of –OH and CH3COO–, two oxygen nucleophiles, is determined by comparing the pKa values
of their conjugate acids (H2O and CH3COOH).
CH3COOH (pKa = 4.8) is a stronger acid than H2O (pKa = 15.7), so –OH is a stronger base and stronger nucleophile than
CH3COO–.
[2] A negatively charged nucleophile is always stronger than its conjugate acid.
•–OH is a stronger base and stronger nucleophile than H2O, its conjugate acid.
[3] Right-to-left across a row of the periodic table, nucleophilicity increases as basicity
increases.
Problem.179. Identify the stronger nucleophile in each pair.

answer:
5.3.4. StericEffects and Nucleophilicity
Nucleophilicity does not parallel basicity when steric hindrance becomes important. Steric hindrance is a decrease in
reactivity resulting from the presence of bulky groups at the site of a reaction.
5.3.5. Solvent Effects
There are two main kinds of polar solvents—polar protic solvents and polar aprotic solvents.
-Polar Protic Solvents are capable of intermolecular hydrogen bonding, because they contain an O – H or N – H bond. The
most common polar protic solvents are water and alcohols (ROH). Polar protic solvents solvate both cations and anions
well.
• Cations are solvated by ion–dipole interactions.
• Anions are solvated by hydrogen bonding
In polar protic solvents, nucleophilicity increases down a column of the periodic table as the size of the anion increases.
This is opposite to basicity.
-Polar Aprotic Solvents. also exhibit dipole–dipole interactions, but they have no O – H or N – H
bond so they are incapable of hydrogen bonding.
• Cations are solvated by ion–dipole interactions.
• Anions are not well solvated because the solvent cannot hydrogen bond to them.

Because anionsare not well solvated in polar aprotic solvents, there is no need to consider whether solvent molecules
more effectively hide one anion than another. Nucleophilicity once again parallels basicity and the stronger base is the
stronger nucleophile. Because basicity decreases with size down a column, nucleophilicity decreases as well:

c. HS–

answer:

down a column of the periodic table so that nucleophilicity increases.
• In polar aprotic solvents, the trend is identical to basicity so that nucleophilicity decreases
down a column.

Table. Common Nucleophiles in Organic Chemistry
Possible Mechanisms for Nucleophilic Substitution
[1] Bond breaking and bond making occur at the same time.
•If the C – X bond is broken as the C – Nu bond is formed, the mechanism has one step. the rate of such
a bimolecular reaction depends on the concentration of both reactants; that is, the rate equation is second
order.
[2] Bond breaking occurs before bond making.
•If the C – X bond is broken first and then the C – Nu bond is formed, the mechanism has
two steps and a carbocation is formed as an intermediate. the rate equation is first order.

answer:
Table Characteristics of the SN1 Mechanism
Problem.191. Draw the structure of a 1°, 2°, and 3° carbocation, each having
molecular formula C4H9+. Rank the three carbocations in order of increasing stability.
answer:
5.3.7.3. Inductive Effects
Inductive effects are electronic effects that occur through σ bonds. The more electronegative atoms stabilize a negative
charge by an electron withdrawing inductive effect.
To stabilize a positive charge, electron-donating groups are needed. Alkyl groups are electron donor groups that stabilize a
positive charge. An alkyl group with several σ bonds is more polarizable than a hydrogen atom, and more able to donate
electron density. Thus, as R groups successively replace the H atoms in CH3+, the positive charge is more dispersed on
the electron donor R groups, and the carbocation is more stabilized.

Identifying an Unknown Compound by Solubility,
Functional Group Tests and Spectral Analysis
Purpose of The Experiment:
Identifying an unknown organic compound through a three-step process involving selective
solubility tests, selective functional group tests and spectral analysis.
Background Required:
You should be familiar with techniques for weighing, measuring by volume, and mixing in a test
tube.
Background Information:
Organic qualitative analysis is an exercise simple qualitative tests to determine the identity of
unknowns. Structures of unknown compounds can be determined by comparing physical
properties, performing functional group tests, and checking melting points of derivatives against

those ofknown compounds reported in the literature. Solubility properties
and chemical reactivity
become apparent during these qualitative tests.
Organic qualitative analysis involves four types of tests.
1.Measurement of physical properties includes determining refractive index, boiling
points, melting points, and density.
2.Solubility tests can suggest the size and polarity of an unknown compound and the presence
of basic or acidic functional groups. A compound’s solubility in aqueous acid or base involves
ionization of the compound and, therefore, a chemical reaction. The salts produced are water-
soluble.
3. Chemical tests transform an unknown into a different compound with an accompanying change
in appearance. These tests are often called classification tests because they identify the possible
functional groups present.
4. Formation of a solid derivative is a critical step in identifying an unknown. Many compounds
have similar physical properties and give similar results in qualitative tests. However, an unknown
can undergo reaction to form another compound called a derivative. The melting point of the
purified derivative allows identification of the unknown.
In this lab we will focus on using Solubility Tests, and Chemical Tests. to identify the unknown
compounds.
Overview:
In this experiment, you will use qualitative tests to identify an unknown organic compound.
For
this experiment, the possible categories of the unknown are alkane, alkene, alkyl halide, alcohol,
phenol, amine, aldehyde, ketone, and carboxylic acid.
Each compound will contain only a single type of these functional groups. Each of these
functional
groups has a unique combination of solubility and reactivity that allows it to be distinguished from
the others.
In Part A of the experiment (Week 1), you will use solubility tests to characterize your unknown
compound. By comparing the solubility of your unknown in several aqueous solutions (described
below), you will be able to limit the possible functional groups on your compound. A flow chart,
Figure 2, will help guide you in this effort. In some cases, these tests will be sufficient to identify
the functional group(s) of your unknown substance.
In Part B of the lab (Week 2), you will conduct a series of experiments to distinguish between the
remaining functional group possibilities to uniquely identify the functional group on your unknown
compound. You should note that in most cases, with proper planning and utilization of the
information gained in Part 1, only a few functional group tests will be required to uniquely identify
the functional group(s) contained within your molecule. You will not need to run all of the
chemical tests on each sample. Your job is to decide which are needed for each unknown in order
to determine its functional group(s). If you are not thoughtful in this process, and try to run all of
the tests, you will likely run out of material (see below). د

Each groupwill be given approximately 1 gram of two different unknown
samples. You must
carefully think about what tests you wish to conduct as not to waste your
sample. If you carelessly
run too many tests and exhaust your material, you can obtain an additional sample of your
unknown from your TA.
Take-home message: plan your experiments carefully.
For both Part A and Part B, several known compounds will also be available so you can compare
your results from your unknown to both known positive and negative tests. Figure 1 lists the
known compounds that represent different functional groups.

PART A (WEEK 1) - SOLUBILITY TESTS
Organic compounds follow three interdependent rules of solubility:
1. Small organic molecules are more soluble in water than are large organic molecules;
2.Polar organic molecules, especially those capable of hydrogen bonding, are more soluble
in water than are nonpolar molecules; and

3. Compoundsin their ionic forms are more soluble in water than their
neutral forms.
For example, benzoic acid is not soluble in water, yet it is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution and
in sodium hydrogen carbonate solution because these bases react with benzoic acid to form the
water-soluble benzoate ion. The solubility of carboxylic acids and amines is so characteristic that
solubility tests alone differentiate these functional groups from all the others in this experiment.
The solubility flowchart shown in Figure 2 provides the scheme for this experiment. The first test
to perform on all unknowns is water solubility.
Water
Small, polar organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids,
and a few phenols are soluble in water. Water-soluble compounds are tested with pH paper to see
if they are acidic or basic. A pH of 4 or lower indicates a carboxylic acid. A pH of 8 or higher
indicates an amine.
Water-soluble compounds are tested with 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) to determine whether or not
they are carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids react with NaHCO3 to produce carbon dioxide bubbles, as shown
below in Equation 3.
Large alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids, and phenols are not soluble in water.
Alkanes, alkyl halides, and alkenes are not soluble in water, regardless of their size. These water
insoluble compounds are tested for their solubility in the following reagents.

Water-insoluble compoundsare first tested with 5% sodium hydroxide
(NaOH). Sodium hydroxide
is a strong base that ionizes strong or weak (Figure 2 Solubility flowchart)
acids. Thus, both
carboxylic acids and phenols are converted to salts and dissolve in aqueous solution. Non-acidic
compounds will not dissolve. The reactions of carboxylic acids and phenols are shown in Equations
1 and 2, respectively.
5% Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
Water-insoluble compounds that are soluble in 5% NaOH are then tested with 5% sodium
hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). Strongly acidic compounds such as carboxylic acids react with NaHCO3 to form
water-soluble salts, as shown in Equation 3. The reaction also produces bubbles of carbon dioxide (CO2).
This test is commonly misinterpreted because CO2 bubbles are tiny. Careful observation is essential.
Phenols are less acidic than carboxylic acids and do not react with NaHCO3 to form water-soluble salts. As a
result, phenols are insoluble in 5% NaCHO3.
5% Hydrochloric Acid
Water-insoluble compounds that are insoluble in 5% NaOH are tested with 5% hydrochloric acid
(HCl). If a compound is soluble in 5% HCl, it is an amine. Amines are organic bases that react with
HCl to form water-soluble amine salts, as shown in Equation 4.

Concentrated SulfuricAcid
Water-insoluble compounds that are insoluble in 5% HCl are tested with
concentrated sulfuric acid
(H2SO4). Virtually all organic compounds containing alkene functional groups or oxygen or nitrogen atoms are
soluble in concentrated H2SO4. These functional groups typically react with H2SO4 to form new compounds.
Only alkanes, alkyl halides, and some aromatic compounds are insoluble in H2SO4.
PROCEDURE PART A (WEEK 1)
Preview:
• Perform the water solubility test on the known positive, known negative, and unknown
• Perform subsequent solubility tests
• If the solubility tests point to a carboxylic acid or amine, the classification is complete
•If the solubility tests suggest any other functional groups, you will preform classification tests
during week 2 appropriate to those groups until the unknown is narrowed to only one functional
group

Perform alltests in duplicate using an unknown, a known positive, and a
known negative. Mix well
to make certain that liquid samples are not floating in the meniscus. Allow several minutes for
compounds to dissolve. Be patient and observe closely.
Conduct the solubility tests following the pattern shown in Figure 1 above. Verify your solubility
test results with your laboratory instructor before performing the classifications tests in Part 2. Use
clean test tubes for each test.
1. Performing the Water Solubility Test
CAUTION—Unknowns may be flammable, toxic, corrosive, or irritating. Keep away from flames
or other heat sources.
Add 1 drops of a liquid sample or about 25 mg of a solid sample to 0.5 mL of distilled or deionized
water in a test tube. Tap the tube with your finger to mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod.
Record the sample as soluble or insoluble.
If the unknown is water-soluble, test the solution with pH paper. Also test the pH of water as a
control. A solution at pH 4 of lower suggests a carboxylic acid. A solution at pH 8 or higher suggests
an amine.
2. Performing the 5% Sodium Hydroxide Solubility Test
If your compound is water-soluble, proceed to Part 3.
For water-insoluble compounds, add 1 drops of a liquid sample or about 25 mg of a solid sample to
0.5 mL of 5% NaOH in a test tube. Tap the tube with your finger to mix or stir gently with a glass
stirring rod. Record the sample as soluble or insoluble.
To verify that a compound has dissolved, add 5% HCl to the NaOH mixture until the solution is
acidic to pH paper. Look for a precipitate, indicating that the water-soluble salt has converted back
into the water-insoluble compound.
Solubility in NaOH indicates either the carboxylic acid or phenol.
3. Performing the 5% Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Solubility Test a. For Water-Soluble
Compounds
Put 1 drops of liquid sample or about 25 mg of solid sample in a dry test tube. Add 0.5 mL of 5%
sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). Do not stir. Watch for bubbles at the interface of the
phases. Then tap the tube with your finger to mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod. Record the
sample as soluble or insoluble.
Generation of bubbles and solubility indicates a carboxylic acid. Solubility without generation of

Conduct classification
tests to determine which functional group is present.
If no bubbles were observed, put 1 drop of liquid sample or about 25 mg of solid sample in a dry
test tube. Using a fume hood, add about 0.5 mL of ether. Then immediately add 0.5 mL of 5%
NaHCO3.
Observe whether or not bubbles are generated at the ether-water interface. Generation of bubbles
indicate a carboxylic acid.
b. For Water-Insoluble Compounds
Put 1 drop of liquid sample or about 25 mg of solid sample in a dry test tube. Add 0.5 mL of 5%
sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). Do not stir. Watch for bubbles at the interface of the phases. Then tap
the tube with your finger to mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod. Record the sample as soluble
or insoluble.
Generation of bubbles or solubility indicates a carboxylic acid.
If the compound is not soluble in NaHCO3 but is soluble in NaOH, it is likely a phenol. Confirm
the presence of phenol with a phenol classification test.
4.Performing the 5% Hydrochloric Acid Solubility Test
CAUTION—Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is toxic and corrosive.
For compounds insoluble in water and insoluble in 5%
NaOH, add 1 drop of a liquid sample or
about 25 mg of a solid sample to 0.5 mL of 5% HCl in a test tube. Tap the tube with your finger to
mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod. Record the sample as soluble or insoluble.
If the compound is soluble in 5% HCl, it is most likely an amine.
5. Performing Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Solubility Test
If the compound is insoluble in 5% HCl and 5% NaOH, add 1 drop of a liquid sample or about 25 mg
of a solid sample to 0.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in a dry test tube. Tap the tube with your finger
to mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod. Do not use a metal spatula.
Record the sample as soluble or insoluble. Interpret a color change or a precipitate as soluble.

If thecompound is soluble in H2SO4, the sample is an alkene, an alcohol, an
aldehyde, or a ketone.
Conduct classification tests for each compound type.
If the compound is insoluble in H2SO4, the sample is an alkane or an alkyl halide. Conduct
classification tests for alkyl halides.
If alkyl halide tests are negative, the compound is an alkane.
Based upon the positive and negative results from the above experiments you should now be
able to narrow the possibilities for the functional group(s) present in your unknown sample. You
should now carefully decide which experiments are needed during Part B (Week 2) to distinguish
those possibilities.

PART B (WEEK 2) - CLASSIFICATION TESTS
Solubility tests (Week 1) alone can indicate whether an unknown compound in this experiment is a
carboxylic acid, a phenol, or an amine. The other functional groups must be identified or verified
by classification tests.
Classification tests are based on the chemical reactivity characteristic of particular functional
groups. The results are intended to be visual and obvious, such as a color change, formation of a
precipitate, or evolution of bubbles. Sometimes the results are difficult to interpret or are
borderline between positive and negative.
There are two inviolable rules when performing classification tests. First, perform the test exactly
as described. If the procedure says add 3 drops, do not add 4 or 5. Second, always perform tests in
duplicate. Perform the test on a known compound that will result in a positive test (known positive);
perform the test on a known compound that will result in a negative test (known negative); and
perform the test on the unknown compound. This direct visual comparison of the results of testing
the unknown against a known positive test and a known negative test confirms that the reagents
are good and you are performing the test properly.
No classification test is always accurate in every case. A compound may produce a false positive if
the test is positive even though the compound giving the test is not of the expected type. For
example, some phenols give a positive test for aldehydes. A false negative occurs if the test is
negative even though the compound undergoing the test is the expected type. For example, less
reactive aldehydes or very insoluble aldehydes may fail to give a positive test for aldehydes.
The following classification tests are performed in this experiment and are among those tests
commonly performed in qualitative organic analysis.
Bromine in Cyclohexane
Alkenes react with bromine (Br2) in cyclohexane, an orange solution, to produce colorless vicinal
dibromides, as shown in Equation 5. This test is commonly used for water-insoluble compounds.
Alkenes with strong electron-withdrawing groups may fail to react. Phenols, phenyl ethers, and
some aldehydes and ketones also react to decolorize bromine in cyclohexane.

Potassium Permanganate
Alkenesare oxidized to diols by dilute potassium permanganate (KMnO4), as shown in Equation 6.
The purple color of KMnO4 disappears and is replaced by the brown color of manganese dioxide (MnO2).
Because KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent, aldehydes, some primary and secondary alcohols, phenols, and
aromatic amines can also react.
Silver Nitrate in Ethanol
Alkyl halides react with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in ethanol by the SN1 mechanism. Tertiary, allylic, and benzylic
halides give an immediate precipitate at room temperature, as shown in Equation 7. Secondary
halides require several minutes to give a precipitate, primary halides require hours.
Sodium Iodine in Acetone
A saturated solution of sodium iodide (NaI) in acetone reacts rapidly with primary, allylic, and
benzylic chlorides or bromides by the SN2 mechanism. Secondary halides react slowly, while
tertiary halides are unreactive. The corresponding alkyl iodides and a precipitate of sodium
chloride or sodium bromide result, as shown in Equation 8.
TCICA Test
In acid solution, 1,3,5-trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCICA) slowly releases chlorine, which is an
oxidizing agent. The reaction is rapid in the presence of an oxidizable compound such as a primary
of secondary alcohol, as shown in Equation 9. The produce is isocyanuric acid, which is very soluble
in water but precipitates from the solvent acetonitrile. The time it takes for isocyanuric acid
precipitate to appear is characteristic of the type of alcohol. Secondary alcohols react fastest,
within 15-30 seconds; primary alcohols produce a precipitate usually within 3-7 minutes, although

some cantake up to 20 minutes; tertiary alcohols are not oxidizable at
room temperature and
produce no precipitate within an hour.
Iron(III) Chloride
Many phenols react with iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) solution to give brightly colored complexes.
Many of these complexes are short-lived; the color may fade soon after it forms. Some phenols
may not react at all, so a negative iron(III) chloride test is inconclusive. Aldehydes or ketones with
significant enolic character can also give colored complexes with FeCl3.
Bromine in Water
Phenols are activated toward electrophilic aromatic substitution and react with Br2 in the absence of catalyst,
as shown in Equation 10. The disappearance of the bromine color, and often the appearance of a
precipitate of the brominated phenol, constitute a positive test. Other activated aromatic
compounds, such as phenyl ethers and anilines, can also react with Br2.
2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine
Aldehydes and ketones rapidly form yellow, orange, or red precipitates with 2,4-
dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNP) reagent, as shown in Equation 11.

Schiff Test
Ina complex series of reactions that is not completely understood, Schiff reagent reacts only with
aldehydes to produce a purple fuchia solution. A faint pink color results from the initial reaction
and does not constitute a positive test. The Schiff test is the most sensitive rest for aldehydes.
However, the Schiff test is subject to giving false positives and false negatives.

tube until the unknown is dissolved. Cool the solution to room temperature. Add up to 20 drops of
2,4-DNP solution. Tap the tube with your finger to mix or stir gently with a glass stirring rod.
Note and record whether or not a precipitate forms.
An immediate, brightly colored precipitate indicates an aldehyde or ketone.

Cleaning Up And Getting the Spectra
Once you believe you have identified the functional groups present in your unknown, check with
your TA to see if you have determined them correctly.
After your TA has confirmed your assignment, you should clean-up your work area and rinse any
remaining unknown compound into the organic waste using acetone. DO NOT PUT YOUR
UNKNOWN INTO THE WASTE UNTIL YOU HAVE CLEARED IT WITH YOUR TA. If you have
misassigned your functional groups and disposed of your unknown, you will be penialized to
obtain an additional sample. Thoroughly rise the vials you unknowns came in, and them present
them to your TA for inspection. Once your TA is satisfied that you have cleaned-up properly, they
will give you the spectra so you can complete Part 3 of the lab.
Wash your hands with soap or detergent before leaving the laboratory.
Part C. Using Spectra To Identify Your Unknown Compound.
In Parts A and B, you used solubility and chemical reactivity test to identify the functional group(s)
contained within your unknown compound. Using these results in conjunction with molecular
formula and the spectra data that you have received, please fully identify the unknown compound.
Assign the 1H and 13C NMR spectra completely.
In your lab report, please state the identity of each of your unknown compounds along with the
unknown number. Discuss the relevance of the solubility and chemical tests to this structural
assignment.

Pre-Laboratory Assignment
1. What risks do you run by not performing the qualitative tests in duplicate?
2. (a) Why is it important to have clean test tubes before running a test?
(b) Before which tests should acetone not be used to clean the test tubes?
3. Why is water solubility the first test to run?
4. Why run solubility tests before running the functional group classification tests?
5. Determine the functional group present in these unknown:
(a) Unknown A is soluble in water and gives bubbles with5% NaHCO3.
(b) Unknown B is insoluble in water, insoluble in 5% NaOH, but soluble in 5% HCl.

(c) UnknownC is insoluble in water, insoluble in 5% NaOH, insoluble in
5% HCl, soluble with a
color change in conc. H2SO4, and decolorizes both KMnO4 (aq) and
bromine in cyclohexane.
(d) Unknown D is soluble in water, does not produce bubbles with 5% NaHCO3, gives a
precipitate with 2,4-DNP, and gives a fuchsia color with the Schiff test.
6. In each of the following cases, describe the next test you would perform.
(a) Unknown X is insoluble in water, 5% NaOH, 5% HCl, and conc. H2SO4.
(b) Unknown Y is insoluble in water, soluble in 5% NaOH, and insoluble in
5% NaHCO3.
(c)Unknown Z is insoluble in water, insoluble in 5% NaOH, insoluble in 5% HCl, and soluble
in conc. H2SO4.
7. If your unknown is soluble in water and does not produce bubbles with 5% NaHCO3, what
steps
would you follow to determine if your unknown is an amine?
Post-Laboratory Questions
8.Record the solubility results for each unknown that you tested. Describe your observations
and briefly explain your conclusions.
9.Record the results of the classification tests that you conducted for each unknown you
tested. Describe your observations and briefly explain your conclusions.
10.For each of your unknowns, list the functional group to which it belongs next to its
identification
code.
4.You suspect that your unknown contains halogen, so you perform the silver nitrate in ethanol
test and the sodium iodide in acetone test, both of which are negative. Do these results prove that
your compound does not contain a halogen? Briefly explain.
