Tahukah kamu?

Did you know that nitriles are often involved in the production of plastics and synthetic fibers like nylon? Some nitriles are also present in essential medications such as lidocaine, which is used as a local anesthetic. Conversely, isonitriles have important uses in organic synthesis as intermediates in complex chemical reactions.

Kontekstualisasi

To kick off the lesson on the Nomenclature of Nitriles and Isonitriles, explain that we're discussing organic compounds with specific functional groups. Nitriles are those compounds containing the -C≡N functional group, whereas isonitriles have the -N≡C functional group. These are commonly used in various industries and pharmaceuticals, playing a vital role in the creation of materials and medications.

Durasi: (50 - 60 minutes)

This stage's goal is to furnish an in-depth understanding of nitriles and isonitriles, including their structures, nomenclature, and properties. By elaborating on each topic and providing practical examples, students will effectively differentiate these compounds and apply this knowledge in both academic and practical settings. Answering the questions will help students reinforce their learning and practice nomenclature rules, as well as recognizing structures.

Topik Relevan

1. Definition and Structure of Nitriles: Explain that nitriles are organic compounds featuring the -C≡N functional group. Elaborate on the structure of this group and its connection to the molecule. Provide straightforward examples of nitriles, such as acetonitrile (CH3CN).

2. Nomenclature of Nitriles according to IUPAC: Outline the IUPAC rules for naming nitriles. Clarify that the name is derived from the respective alkane by altering the ending 'o' to 'nitrile'. For instance, ethane becomes ethanonitrile. Share additional examples and encourage students to jot down notes.

3. Physical and Chemical Properties of Nitriles: Discuss the physical properties (like boiling and melting points) and chemical properties of nitriles, including their polarity and solubility. Give relatable examples of how these properties affect their use in industries and pharmaceuticals.

4. Definition and Structure of Isonitriles: Describe how isonitriles consist of the -N≡C functional group. Explain the configuration of this group and how it varies from nitriles. Present simple examples of isonitriles, such as methylisonitrile (CH3N≡C).

5. Nomenclature of Isonitriles according to IUPAC: Explain the IUPAC rules for naming isonitriles, noting that the name combines the prefix of the alkyl group followed by the term 'isonitrile'. For example, methyl becomes methylisonitrile. Give more examples and ask students to write down notes.

6. Physical and Chemical Properties of Isonitriles: Talk about the physical and chemical properties of isonitriles, such as their unique odor and reactivity. Elaborate on the usage of isonitriles in organic synthesis and specific reactions.

7. Differences between Nitriles and Isonitriles: Show comparisons between nitriles and isonitriles, stressing the differences in their structures, nomenclature, and properties, using examples to make these distinctions clear.

Umpan Balik

Durasi: (20 - 25 minutes)

This stage aims to help students consolidate the knowledge they've gained during the lesson, allowing them to reflect on their answers and expand their understanding of the discussed concepts. Through engaging discussions, students can strengthen their skills in nomenclature and distinguish between nitriles and isonitriles while fostering a greater appreciation for the practical applications of these compounds.

Diskusi Konsep

1. 1. Name the following compounds according to IUPAC nomenclature: a. CH3CH2CN → Propanonitrile b. CH3CH2NC → Ethylisonitrile Explain that compound (a) is a nitrile, with the -C≡N functional group attached to a three-carbon chain, whereas compound (b) is an isonitrile, where the -N≡C functional group is linked to a two-carbon chain. 2. 2. Explain the primary structural difference between a nitrile and an isonitrile. Why does this difference matter? The key structural difference lies in that nitriles have the functional group -C≡N, while isonitriles have -N≡C. This difference is paramount as it affects the compounds' reactivity and physical properties. Generally, nitriles are more polar and possess higher boiling points than isonitriles. 3. 3. Identify three physical properties of nitriles and compare them with those of isonitriles. Nitriles tend to have higher boiling points, are generally more polar, and more water-soluble compared to isonitriles. Isonitriles may have a strong, unpleasant odor and are less polar.

Melibatkan Siswa

1.Questions and Reflections to Engage Students2. 1. How does the polarity of nitriles enhance their importance in the pharmaceutical realm? 3. 2. In what ways can the presence of the functional group -N≡C in isonitriles influence their applications in organic synthesis? 4. 3. In groups, discuss how organic compound nomenclature aids in scientific communication and the innovation of new materials.
