In this tutorial, we will learn to
|
Slide Number 3
System Requirement |
Here I am using
Ubuntu Linux OS version. 12.04 GChemPaint version 0.12.10 |
Slide Number 4
Pre-requisites |
To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with,
GChemPaint chemical structure editor. If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website. |
Slide Number 5
Structures |
Here is slide for the structures of Propane, Butane and Heptane. |
Switch to GChemPaint application. | I have opened a new GChemPaint application with Propane and Butane structures as shown in the slide |
Point to Carbon atoms. | Let's replace the terminal Carbon atoms in Butane structure with Chlorine atoms. |
Point to Periodic table combo button. | For this I will use the Periodic table combo button. |
Click on Current element drop-down arrow button.
Hover the mouse over the Periodic table |
Click on Current element drop-down arrow button.
This button is known as Periodic table combo button. Observe the built-in Modern periodic table. |
Select Cl from the table.
Point to the Cl on toolbox |
Select Cl from the table.
Observe Cl in the tool box. |
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>>click to replace
Point to the structure |
Click on Add or modify an atom tool.
Click on terminal Carbon atoms to replace them with Cl atoms. The new structure obtained is 1,2-Dichloroethane. |
Let's write its name below the structure. | |
Click on Add or modify a text tool>>Click on Display area | Click on Add or modify a text tool.
Click on Display area below the structure. |
Point to the blinking cursor | Observe the blinking cursor enclosed in a green box.
Type 1,2-Dichloroethane in the box and click anywhere on the Display area. |
Next let's replace central Carbon atom in Propane structure with Oxygen atom. | |
Press Shift and O keys simultaneously>> A Sub-menu opens with O and Os | Place the cursor near the central atom of the Propane structure.
Press capital O. A Sub-menu with O and Os opens. |
Select O. | Select O.
Carbon and Hydrogen atoms will be replaced by Oxygen atom. The new structure obtained is Dimethylether. |
Let's write its name below the structure. | |
Click on Add or modify a text tool>>Click on Display area | Click on Add or modify a text tool.
Click on Display area below the structures. |
Point to the blinking cusor | Type Dimethylether in the box. |
Press CTRL+ S. | To save the file, Press CTRL+ S. |
Save as dialog box opens | Save as dialog box opens. |
Enter the file name as Chloroethane-ether >> click on Save button. | Enter the file name as Chloroethane-ether.
Click on Save button. |
Click on Close to close the window. | Click on Close to close the window. |
Slide Number 5
Assignment |
Draw 'Ethane and Pentane structures.
Replace one Carbon atom of Ethane with Br. Replace the terminal Carbon atoms of Pentane with I. Your assignment's output should look like this. |
Now I will explain about Alkyl groups. | |
Slide Number 6
Alkyl groups |
Alkyl group is a fragment of an Alkane.
For example: Methyl CH3 is a fragment of Methane CH4 Successive members of an Alkyl group differ by a CH2 group. Homologues of the Alkyl group series includes, Methyl is CH3 Ethyl is C2H5 Propyl is C3H7 Butyl is C4H9 and so on. |
Switch to GChemPaint application. | I have opened a new GChemPaint application with a Heptane structure as shown in the slide. |
Now I will demonstrate how to number the chain positions.
Numbering helps to identify the chain positions. | |
Click on Add or modify a text tool>> Click on Display area near the first chain position>>
Enter 1 in the green box. |
Click on Add or modify a text tool.
Click on Display area near the first chain position. Enter 1 in the green box. |
Click near the second chain position>> Enter 2 in the box. | Next, click near the second chain position.
Enter 2 in the box. |
Point to other chain positions. | Likewise I will number the other chain positions as 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. |
Now let's branch Heptane using Alkyl groups at various positions. | |
Point to the third position. | Let's add a Methyl group to the third position. |
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of existing one tool >> click on the position. | Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of existing one tool.
Click on the position. Observe the change in the atoms. <Pause> |
Click on Add a chain tool.
Click on the position. |
Let's add an Ethyl group on the fifth position.
Click on Add a chain tool. Click on the position. |
Next I will display atoms on all positions. | |
Right click on the position>> A Submenu opens>>Select Atom>> click on
Display symbol. |
Right-click on the position.
A Submenu opens Select Atom and then click on Display symbol. |
Let's see how many times we can branch at one position. | |
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of existing one tool.
Click on fourth position to branch the Carbon chain>> Click again. |
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of existing one tool.
Click on fourth position to branch the Carbon chain. Click again. Observe the branching in Carbon chain. |
Point to the position. | Let's try to click for the third time.
We do not see the branching. |
Note that branching is possible only twice at each position.
This is because it satisfies Carbon's tetra valency. | |
Press CTRL+ S. | To save the file, Press CTRL+ S. |
In the Save as dialog box>>
Enter the file name as Alkyl groups >> click on Save button. |
In the Save as dialog box,
Enter the file name as Alkyl groups. Click on Save button. <PAUSE> |
