Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Alkynes
Chapter three delves into the world of alkynes, focusing on their structure, hybridization, bonding, nomenclature, physical properties, preparation, and reactions. Alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one triple bond, forming a homologous series with the molecular formula CnH2n-2. The sp hybridization of alkynes involves the linear arrangement of two sp-hybrid orbitals with a 180-degree bond angle. Ethyne (acetylene) serves as the simplest alkyne with a molecular formula of C2H2. Orbital overlap in ethyne results in the formation of sigma and pi bonds, leading to a linear molecular geometry.

Alkynes Learning Objectives Chapter three discusses the following topics which have to be understood and memorized : The structure, hybridization and Bonding in alkynes Common and IUPAC naming of alkynes Physical properties of alkynes Preparation of alkynes Reactions of alkynes: addition reactions and acidity
Alkynes Alkynes: Molecular And Structural Formulae The alkynes comprise a series of carbon- and hydrogen- based compounds that contain at least one triple bond. This group of compounds is a homologous series with the general molecular formula of CnH2n 2 The alkyne triple bond is composed of one and two 2 covalent bonds, the triple bond can be terminal or internal. The simplest alkyne, ethyne (also known as acetylene), has two carbon atoms and the molecular formula of C2H2. The structural formula for ethyne is: H C CH 3
Alkynes sp Hybridization Of Alkynes This involves the mixing of one s- and one p-orbital forming two sp- hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy. The two sp-hybrid orbitals are oriented in a linear arrangement and bond angle is 180 to minimize the repulsion between them. The remaining two p orbitals (py and Pz) are unaltered 4
Alkynes Orbital Overlap IN Ethyne H C CH Molecular formula of ethyne is C2H2. In ethyne, each carbon atom is sp-hybridized. In this way, four sp-orbital are generated. One sp- orbital of each carbon atom by overlapping forms a sigma bond between carbon atoms. Remaining one sp-orbital of each carbon atom overlap with 1s- orbital of a hydrogen atom to produce two sigma bonds. Py-orbital and Pz-orbitals of each carbon by parallel overlapping form two pi-bonds between the two carbon atoms. Geometry (shape) of ethyne molecule is linear in which bond angles are 180o and C=C bond length is 1.20 5

Alkynes Summary sp hybridization occurs when a C has 2 sigma bonds only sp hybridized orbital has 50% s and 50% p character The 2 sp hybrids point in opposite directions at 180o to each other Each sphybrid is involved in a( )sigma bond The remaining p orbitals form the 2pi bonds The triple bond is one ( )bond and two pi ( ) bonds. 8
Alkynes Common Nomenclature Of Alkynes The simplest alkyne its common name is acetylene Therefore the common names of alkynes are derived from acetylene ( e.g. Methyl acetylene) Examples: HC CH CH3 CH3 CH3 CH CH2 C C CH CH3 CH3 C CH Common : Isobutyisopropylacetylene Common : Methyl acetylene H3C C C Common: Isopropylmethylacetylene 9
Alkynes IUPAC Nomenclature of Alkynes Find the longest chain containing both atoms of the triple bond; this gives the root name. Add the ending yne to the root name. Number the chain, starting at the end closest to the triple bond. Give branches or other substituents names and numbers to locate their positions. Indicate the number of identical groups by prefixes di, tri, tetra, etc. Place the position numbers and names of the substituent groups in alphabetical order, before the root name. In alphabetizing ignore prefixes like tert., di, tri, etc. but include iso and cyclo.

Alkynes Physical Properties Nonpolar, insoluble in water. Soluble in most organic solvents ( hexane, benzene ). The boiling points and melting points of alkynes increase with molecular weight. Branching reduces the boiling point of alkynes Acidity of alkynes Terminal alkynes, R-C C-H, are more acidic than other hydrocarbons. For example, compounds b & d are more acidic than a & c. b) C CH a) H2 C c) Terminal alkynes H2 C C C(CH3)3 - C C HC Terminal alkynes d) 12
