This document provides an overview of various carbon-based reaction intermediates including carbocations, carbanions, carbenes, free radicals, nitrenes, and nitrenium ions. It discusses their generation, structure, stability, reactions, and detection methods. Key points include that carbocations are positively charged carbon species that react as electrophiles, while carbanions are negatively charged carbon species that react as nucleophiles. Carbenes contain a carbon with six valence electrons in a triplet or singlet state. Free radicals contain one or more unpaired electrons. Nitrenes and nitrenium ions involve a reactive nitrogen species. Detection methods include NMR, EPR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and trapping reactions.
An organic species which has a carbon atom bearing only six electrons in its outermost shell and has a positive charge is called carbocation.
The positively charged carbon of carbocation is sp2 hybridized.
The unhybridized p-orbital remains vacant.
They are highly reactive and act as reaction intermediate.
They are also called carbonium ion.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Methane, ethane, and propane, treated with superacid, also
yield tert-butyl cation as the main product.
: The electron-donating effect of alkyl groups
increases the electron density at the charge-bearing carbon,
reducing the net charge on the carbon, and in effect spreading
the charge over the α carbons.

Cyclopropenyl cation is stable due to aromatization
19. Allyl cation and benzyl cation are more stable than most
othercarbocations.
Molecules which can form allyl or benzyl carbocations are
especially reactive. Stable allylic cations have been obtained by
the reaction between alkylhalides,alcohols, or alkenes (by
hydride extraction) and SbF5 in SO2 or SO2ClF.
20. Formation of carbocation can be
detected by NMR spectroscopy as the cation formation shifts
the proton signals appreciably downfield due to deshielding of
protons. For example;

21. A carbanion is an anion in which carbon has an unshared
pair of electrons and bears a negative charge usually with
three substituents for a total of eight valence electrons.
Formally a carbanion is the conjugate base of a carbon acid.
Stable carbanions do however exist although in most cases they
are reactive.
Olmstead(1984):
22. A group attached to a carbon leaves without its electron pair.
A negative ion adds to a carbon-carbon double or triple bond.
23. Strongly reduced metals like Na or Li or Mg can convert alkyl
halide to alkyl sodium or alkyl lithium or Grignard reagent.
Carboanions often act as a nucleophiles to react with
electrophones species.

25. The stability of the carbanion is directly related to the strength
of the conjugate acid.
The weaker is the acid, the greater is the base strength and the
lower is the stability of the carbanion.
Stabilization by sulfur or phosphorus.
26. Ylides are more stable than the corresponding simple
carbanions.
Carbanions are stabilized by a field effect if there is any
heteroatom (O, N or S) connected to the carbanionic carbon,
provided that the hetero atom bears a positive charge in at least
one important canonical form

28. The inductive effect: Electronegative atoms adjacent to the
charge will stabilize the charge;
Hybridization of the charge-bearing atom. The greater the
of the charge-bearing atom, the more stable the
anion;
The extent of conjugation of the anion. Resonance effects can
stabilize the anion. This is especially true when the anion is
stabilized as a result of aromaticity
29. Carboanions are type of CH3
-
, where the negative charge is not
delocalized, due to conjugation can be distinguished from their
1H NMR spectra.
Formation of carbanions can be detected by the UV and Visible
spectra of the different from the starting compounds.
Trapping of carboanions with an electrophile may also show
their formation of reaction.
30. A carbene is a highly reactive species containing a carbon atom
with six valence electrons and having the general formula
RR′C:, practically all having lifetimes considerably under 1
sec.
Structure and bonding
the total spin=0
Bond angle=102º
For single
Methylene
the total spin=1
Paramagnetic ,may be observed by
electron spin resonance spectroscopy
31. Triplet carbenes are generally stable in the gaseous state, while
singlet carbenes occur more often in aqueous media.
The C-atom in singlet carbene is sp2 - hybridized in which the
spin –paired electrons occupy an sp2 orbital.
Shape of carbenes is planar.
32. Disintegration of diazoalkanes and their analogs, via
photolytic,thermal, or transition metal (Rh, Cu)-catalyzed
routes.
34. Carbenes being the electrons-deficient species may take part in
electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. For eg; in Riemer
–Tiemann reaction.
35. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy(EPRS) can be
used to detect the formation of the triplet carbenes.
Rotational fine structure of the UV and Visible spectra can
detect the formation of the singlet (bent form) or triplet (linear
form) carbenes.
π- Insertion reaction also can detect and distinguish the
formation of singlet and triplet.
36. A free radical may be defined as a species that contains one or
more unpaired electrons.
Radicals play an important role in combustion, atmospheric
chemistry, polymerization, plasma chemistry, biochemistry, and
many other chemical processes, including human physiology.
The first organic free radical identified was triphenylmethyl
radical, by Moses Gomberg (the founder of radical chemistry)
in 1900.
37. A carbon -based free radical is a trivalent C-species having
single p-electron in the valence shell.
It has tetrahedral geometry where the C-atom is sp3
hybridized.
38. Thermolysis or photolysis of organic peroxides and azo
compounds generates free radicals.
Alkyl peroxide Alkoxy radical
Azo Alkyl nitrile
39. Bimolecular redox reactions also generate free radicals. For
eg;
Resonance effect due to conjugation stabilizes the free radicals.

trigger the propagation of a chain reaction. For eg;
Suitably substituted free radical may isomerize.for eg;

CH3 CH3+ CH3 CH3
DISPROPORTIONATION
RADICAL COUPLING
44. DETECTION OF FREE RADICALS
By using electron spin resonance (ESR)
Highly stabilized free radicals may be detected UV and visible
spectroscopy.
NMR spectroscopy can detect free radicals (by studying the
overhauser effect ).
The unpaired electron in a free radical is accommodated in a
single occupied molecular orbital(SOMO).
If the SOMO is a high-energy orbital, the free radical shows a
tendency to loose an electron.
If the SOMO is a low-energy orbital ,it shows a tendency to
accept an electron.

45. NITRENES
These are neutral reaction intermediates where the central
nitrogen atom is electron-deficient and has a sextet of
electrons.
Sp2 hybridized and planar in shape.
46. GENERATIONS OF NITRENES

51. Nitrenium ion
A nitrenium ion (also called: aminylium ion)
on nitrogen with both an electron lone pair and a positive
charge and with two substituents (R2N+).
Sp3 hybridized and non linear or bent structure.
52. Stability
Type of ligand attached; example; if aromatic ring is attached
to the nitrogen they are called arylnitrenium ions and similarly
halo and alkyl nitrenium ions if halo and alkyl groups are
attached to the nitrogen.
Arylnitrenium ions are characterised by delocalization of the
positive charge on nitrogen into the aromatic ring making the
ring susceptible to nucleophilic attack.
53. Nitrogen is doubly bonded to one atom hence they are called
vinylidene nitrenium ions.
54. Generation and Fate of Reactions
N-alkyl anthranilium on photolysis produced primary
nitrenium ion by protonation of the nitrogen followed by
heterolysis of N-O bond.
55. Photolysis of azides to form nitrene followed by protonation in
presence of weakly acidic solution gave nitrenium ions.
Electrochemical oxidation of amines yields nitrenium ions. But
principle disadvantage of this method is formation of polymers.
56. N-aminopyridinium ions when subjected to heat in a
nonpolar medium formed nitrenium ions in a nonpolar
media.
