This document provides an overview of acids and bases in organic chemistry. It discusses Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, where acids are proton donors and bases are proton acceptors. Examples of reactions are given. Lewis acids and bases are then introduced, where Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors and Lewis bases are electron pair donors. Common Lewis acids like BF3 and AlCl3 are noted. Lewis acid-base reactions involve the donation of an electron pair from a Lewis base to a Lewis acid. Learning outcomes focus on identifying electrophiles and nucleophiles and using acid/base concepts to illustrate organic reaction mechanisms.

Learning Outcomes At the end of this lecture, students should be able to: • Identify electrophiles and nucleophiles in organic chemistry reactions
• Use concept of acid and base reaction
mechanism to illustrate reaction mechanism for organic chemistry reactions 5.3.1 BrØnsted-Lowry Acids and Bases (Chemistry I ) • A BrØnsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor. • A BrØnsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. • H+ = proton Examples 5.3.2 Reactions of BrØnsted-Lowry Acids and Bases • A BrØnsted-Lowry acid base reaction results in the transfer of a proton from an acid to a base. • In an acid-base reaction, one bond is broken, and another one is formed. • The electron pair of the base B: forms a new bond to the proton of the acid. • The acid H—A loses a proton, leaving the electron pair in the H—A bond on A. 5.3.2 Reactions of BrØnsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
• The movement of electrons in reactions can be
illustrated using curved arrow notation. Because two electron pairs are involved in this reaction, two curved arrows are needed.
• Loss of a proton from an acid forms its conjugate base.
• Gain of a proton by a base forms its conjugate acid. • A double reaction arrow is used between starting materials and products to indicate that the reaction can proceed in the forward and reverse directions. These are equilibrium arrows. 5.3.2 Reactions of BrØnsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
Examples: 5.3.3 Lewis Acids and Bases
• The Lewis definition of acids and bases is more
general than the BrØnsted-Lowry definition.
• A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
• A Lewis base is an electron pair donor.
5.3.3 Lewis Acids and Bases • Lewis bases are structurally the same as BrØnsted- Lowry bases. Both have an available electron pair—a lone pair or an electron pair in a bond. • A BrØnsted -Lowry base always donates this electron pair to a proton, but a Lewis base donates this electron pair to anything that is electron deficient. 5.3.3 Lewis Acids and Bases • Common examples of Lewis acids (which are not BrØnsted-Lowry acids) include BF3 and AlCl3. These compounds contain elements in group 3A of the periodic table that cannot accept an electron pair because they do not have filled valence shells of electrons. 5.3.4 Reactions of Lewis Acids and Bases
• A Lewis acid must be able to accept an electron
pair, but there are many ways for this to occur.
• All BrØnsted-Lowry acids are also Lewis acids,
but the reverse is not necessarily true. − Any species that is electron deficient and capable of accepting an electron pair is also a Lewis acid. 5.3.4 Reactions of Lewis Acids and Bases
• Any reaction in which one species donates an
electron pair to another species is a Lewis acid- base reaction. • In a Lewis acid-base reaction, a Lewis base donates an electron pair to a Lewis acid. • Lewis acid-base reactions illustrate a general pattern in organic chemistry. Electron-rich species react with electron-poor species. 5.3.4 Reactions of Lewis Acids and Bases • In the simplest Lewis acid-base reaction one bond is formed and no bonds are broken. This is illustrated in the reaction of BF3 with H2O. H2O donates an electron pair to BF3 to form a new bond. The End
