When drawing organic structures, keep in mind the hybridization of the carbons
• Alkanes have sp3 hybridized carbons– Geometry?
• Carbonyl carbons have sp2 hybridized carbons– Geometry?

Amino Acids• The building blocks
of proteins are amino acids
• Amino Acids have an amino group and a carboxylic acid on them
• When the ribosome forms a protein from amino acids, it does so in a condensation reaction that forms an amide
![Page 13: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Organic Chemistry 2: Important Reactions
In the biological world, organisms are capable of synthesizing or degrading nearly any molecule
For the remainder of this class, we are going to look at the chemistry of basic biological molecules and the reaction mechanisms these molecules are involved in
![Page 14: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reaction TypesWe are going to focus on 3 basic reaction types: 1. Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: An electron rich atom
(nucleophile) attacks a electron deficient atom2. Acid-Base Catalysis: Certain amino acid side chains of
enzymes can accept or donate protons, making them act like acids (donate protons) or bases (accept protons)
3. Condensation Reactions: The involve the combining of two molecules to form a larger molecule and a smaller one
• The reverse reaction is called a Hydrolytic Reaction. We’ll look at those as well.
![Page 15: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
Terminology:• Nucleophile: An electron rich atom. May be
negatively charged or have an available lone pair• Electrophile: An electron poor atom. May or may
not have a positive charge
![Page 16: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
• Two types of Sn Reactions Exist• They are classified and named based upon the slowest (rate limiting)
step: Sn1 and Sn2• The General form of these reactions is:
R:X + :Z --> R:Z + X
:Z is the nucleophileX is the leaving group
• In a condensation reaction for the formation of a lipid from a glycerol and a fatty acid, a glycerol hydroxyl is the nucleophile attacking the carbonyl carbon of the carboxylic acid
• Remember: The nucleophile attacks atoms of partial positive charge
![Page 17: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
• Sn1: The rate is dependent on the leaving group leaving– Stands for: Substitution Nucleophilic
Unimolecular
Note: The first step is the dissociation of the chlorine
![Page 18: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Types of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
• Sn2: The rate is dependent on the nucleophile and the substrate forming a bond at the SAME TIME the leaving group dissociates– Stands for: Substitution Nucleophilic
Bimolecular•Steric hindrances may prevent Sn2 reactions
•The concentration of both reactants affects the rate
![Page 19: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
• Actually, many reactions are mixtures of Sn1 and Sn2 mechanisms
• Many factors affect whether a reaction proceeds via the Sn1 or Sn2 route, including:– Nucleophilicity– Bond polarizability– Leaving group stability– Solvent composition
• Think about these factors, you will see them again in Organic Chemistry
![Page 20: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
General Acid-Base Catalysis• In these reactions, groups accept or donate protons,
thereby acting as acids or bases
• In proteins, acid-base catalysis is mediated by side chains containing:– Imidazole, hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfhydryl, amino and phenol
groups
• For an enzyme catalyzed reaction in which the enzyme abstracts a proton from a substrate, the protein is acting like a base
R-H+ + R-O- --> R + R-OH
![Page 21: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
General Acid-Base Catalysis• For an enzyme catalyzed reaction in which the enzyme donates
a proton to a substrate, the protein is acting like an acid
R-H+ + R-O- --> R + R-OHWe would call this General Acid Catalysis
• For an enzyme catalyzed reaction in which the enzyme abstracts a proton from a substrate, the protein is acting like a base
R-H+ + R-OH --> R + R-O-
We would call this General Base Catalysis
![Page 22: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
General Acid-Base Catalysis: An Example
• Keto-Enol Tautomerization
Adapted from Voet, Voet and Pratt. Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed. 2008.
General acid catalysis: Partial proton transfer from an acid lowers the free energy of the high-free energy carbanionlike transition state of the keto-enol tautomerization
General base catalysis: The rate can be increased by partial proton abstraction by a base.
Uncatalyzed
Concerted acid-base catalyzed reactions involve both processes occurring simultaneously.

Condensation Reactions
• Two molecules combine with the generation of a smaller molecule
![Page 25: Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061519/56815de7550346895dcc0ef2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Looking at the Reaction Mechanism
1. The carbonyl carbon is:• Electron deficient• In a trigonal planar geometry
• 120º between substituents
2. The carbonyl oxygen is pulling electrons towards it
• Resonance stabilization3. The Lone Pair of the alcohol oxygen can react
with the carbonyl carbon to set the whole thing in motion
4. Remember your VSEPR Geometry

Hydrolysis: The Opposite of Condensation
•In a hydrolytic reaction, we add the elements of water (H+ and OH-) across a bond
•Many enzymes use this kind of reaction to degrade polymers
•Lipases: Hydrolyze lipid esters
•Glycosidases: Hydrolyze carbohydrate polymers
•Peptidases: Hydrolyze peptide bonds
•Compound Name + ase : Usually indicates a hydrolase (but not always!)
•If it isn’t a compound name and ase, then it usually does something else:
•Lyase
•Reductase
•Kinase
•Transferase
