Introduction ‘There will be at least one question in the exam on chirality and optical isomerism. You need to practise drawing 3-D representations of simple optically active molecules, showing both optical isomers (enantiomers) in the same drawing. You do not have to be artistically gifted to draw these 3-D molecules. Just follow some set rules and you can create diagrams that perfectly represent the enantiomers (optical isomers). For example, consider the molecule CHsCH(Br)Cl. This molecule has a chiral carbon because it is bonded to four different groups or atoms. if you draw the molecules in 3-D, you end up with the following representations: ‘The solid wedge represents a bond which is coming out of the paper. <_— The solid lines show 2 bonds “5 in the plane of the paper The line down the middle represents a ‘mirror The dashed wedge shows a bond Sing me the paper Note that the drawings are mirror images of each other, This worksheet will allow you to practise this skill, and will also give you the ‘opportunity to identify chiral carbons in organic molecules (© Oxtord University Press 2017 http:/hvww.oxdordeecondary,co.uk/acknowledgements This resource sheet may have beon changed from the oginat 1 Cz A Level Sciences 25.2 Optical isomerism AQA Chemistry Calculations Worked examples Question 1 a Explain why the amino acid alanine, CHsCH(NH,)COOH, has optical isomers. b_ Draw both enantiomers showing the 3-D tetrahedral arrangement around the central carbon.

Background The carbonyl functional group is C=O. When this group is on a terminal carbon atom, an aldehyde is formed. This can undergo oxidation to make another carbonyl- containing species known as a carboxylic acid. Aldehydes can also be reduced to make primary alcohols. When the carbonyl group is not on the terminal carbon atom, a ketone is formed. Ketones cannot be oxidised but can be reduced to form secondary alcohols, Carboxylic acids can be identified by observing effervescence with reactive metals or carbonates. They can also be identified by checking the pH with a pH probe or universal indicator. Ketones and aldehydes can be differentiated by using Tollens’ reagent, Fehling’s solution, or acidified potassium dichromate. These reagents are oxidisers, and therefore a change is observed only with the aldehyde, which is being oxidised to a carboxylic acid, Questions 1 Ketones and aldehydes contain carbonyl functional groups, They can be identified using simple laboratory tests. a State the observations of Tollens’ reagent when added to an aldehyde. smenmeninnen (2 marks) ‘© Onford University Press 2017 httos/www.oxfordsecondan..co.ul/adknowledgements This resource sheet may have boon changed fom the eiginal 1 26 Compounds containing the EERE 4 ove! sciences carbonyl group AQA Chemistry Application b Describe the observations of Fehling’s solution when it is added to an aldehyde and warmed.

This means that the carbon atom is susceptible to nucleophilic altack. The group is present in aldehydes and ketones. Aldehydes and ketones can be distinguished with Tollens’ reagent, Fehiing’s solution, or acidified potassium dichromate. With ketones there will be no reaction, but aldehydes will oxidise to a carboxylic acid and therefore produce a visual change. Carbonyls can be reduced with NaBH, via a nucleophilic addition reaction to produce an alcohol, When a carbonyl in an aldehyde is reduced, a primary alcohol is formed, where the -OH group is on a terminal carbon. When a carbonyl in a ketone is reduced, a secondary alcohol is formed, where the -OH group is attached to a carbon atom within the hydrocarbon chain. Carbonyl compounds can also react with the cyanide ion to make a hydroxynitrile compound. With the exception of methanal, this reaction produces enantiomer products with aldehydes, and with unsymmetrical ketones enantiomers are also produced. Learning outcomes After completing this worksheet you will be able to: © explain the difference between aldehydes and ketones + use arrow pushing mechanism and prose to explain the nucleophilic addition to an aldehyde or a ketone + predict ang justify enantiomers forming Background Reaction mechanisms are a model to help explain a chemical reaction and predict the product. Curly arrows are used to show the movement of electrons in reaction mechanisms. They should start from the electron(s) moving and point to where they are going. Each arrow head represents one electron, so a double-headed arrow shows two electrons moving. In reaction mechanisms, to simplify the diagrams often the structural formula of a molecule is used. But the area of the molecule that is involved in the reaction is drawn as a displayed section showing all the individual atoms, bonds, lone pairs of electrons, and dipoles. ‘© Oxford Universi Press 2017 hitpufimwy.enfordsecondary.co.uk/acknowledaements ‘This resource shoot may have been changed from the orignal 1 ; 26 Compounds containing the | oxford ELaNel Beleneps carbonyl group AQA Chemistry Stretch and challenge Task Read Topic 26.1 Introduction to aldehydes and ketones and 26.2 Reactions of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones from the Student book.
