Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides The carbonyl group >C=O is one of the most biologically important chemical entities in Organic Chemistry Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids and Amides O H Aldehydes C R O Four families of compounds contain the carbonyl group: R C Ketones R O R Carboxylic Acids C OH O R Amides C HN R O H Aldehydes C R •We replace the –e ending of compounds with –al for aldehydes •We know that aldehyde has to be at the end of the molecule. •Why? O H Methanol or Formaldehyde C H O H3C Ethanol or Acetaldehyde C H Aldehydes are found in many oils and natural extrcts O R C Ketones R We replace the –e ending with -one O H3C C Propanone CH3 The simplest Ketone. Why? Carboxylic Acid O O R R C C + H+ O- OH •Weak Acids •They have an acidic proton because of the electron withdrawing effect of the carbonyl oxygen and resonance stabilization of the resultant carboxylate anion O Formaldehyde H H O Formic Acid H OH Carboxylic Acids Named by replacing the –e with –oic acid OH Benzoic Acid O O H3C H Acetaldehyde H3C OH Acetic Acid From Alcohols to Acids O H3C OH C H2 H C O H3C CH3 C OH Progressively Oxidizing (adding Oxygen) the alcohol allows us to go from an alcohol to a carboxylic acid Amides An Amide is a compound containing an amine bound to a carboxyl group R O C An Amide N R H A peptide bond is an example of an amide Note: 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? Esters O • The fatty acids in our bodies are examples of esters • Esters are formed from the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol HO O H2C OH HC OH H2C OH HO O HO Amines H CH3 CH3 CH3 N N N N H H Amine H H H CH3 H3C CH3 Methylamine Dimethylamine Trimethylamine 1° Amine 2° Amine 3° Amine •Amines are compounds derived from ammonia •Amines tend to be associated with strong, often unpleasant odors Putrescine NH2(CH2)4NH2 Cadaverine NH2(CH2)5NH2 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 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 Reaction Types We are going to focus on 3 basic reaction types: 1. Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: An electron rich atom (nucleophile) attacks a electron deficient atom 2. 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. 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 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 nucleophile X 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 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 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 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 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 + - 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-OH We 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-OWe would call this General Base Catalysis General Acid-Base Catalysis: An Example • Keto-Enol Tautomerization Uncatalyzed 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. Concerted acid-base catalyzed reactions involve both processes occurring simultaneously. Adapted from Voet, Voet and Pratt. Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed. 2008. General Acid-Base Catalysis: An Example Enzymatic Degradation of 4-Nitrophenylacetate proceeds via a General Acid-Base mechanism •Imidazole nitrogen extracts proton from water initiating the reaction Condensation Reactions • Two molecules combine with the generation of a smaller molecule Condensation Reactions • Reaction of Acetic Acid and Ethanol 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 stabilization 3. 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 Condensation Reactions: Making Lipids from Sugars and Fatty Acids • Your cells can synthesize lipids from glycerol and fatty acids in a condensation reaction Condensation Reactions: Polymerizing Carbohydrate Monomers Condensation Reactions: Forming a Peptide Bond 1. 2. What are the amino acids in the figure? What function group is formed? Its not really this simple, but it illustrates a point! 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 Hydrolysis of Sugar Polymers • We add water across the Glycosidic Bond of Maltose to break it and generate 2 monomers • Catalyzed by a glycosidase (Maltase perhaps?) Hydrolysis of Peptides • • Dipeptide (What are the amino acids) is hydrolyzed to ??? Catalyzed by a peptidase or a protease
