Study Notes
Chemistry and Laboratory II - Organic Chemistry - Week 15
- Organic chemistry study is simplified by considering hydrocarbons as parent compounds and other compounds as derivatives.
- An organic molecule generally has a carbon skeleton with functional groups attached.
- Functional groups are special groups of atoms that are key points of chemical reactivity.
Functional Groups
- Hydrocarbons: Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds.
- Oxygen: Alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters.
- Nitrogen: Amines
- Halogen: Alkyl halides and acid halides (including those with oxygen).
IUPAC Nomenclature
- A standardized system used by organic chemists for naming organic compounds.
- Provides a common language for organic chemistry enabling clear communication.
Alkanes
- Alkanes are hydrocarbons consisting of only single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms, lacking other functional groups.
- Acyclic alkanes have a main chain with branches (alkyl groups) attached.
IUPAC Naming System for Alkanes
- Unbranched alkanes are named based on the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
- Alkanes with five or more carbons are named by adding "-ane" to the numerical multiplier for the number of carbons.
Alkyl Groups
- Alkyl groups are formed by removing one hydrogen atom from an alkane.
- They are named by replacing "-ane" with "-yl."
- Alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl. These are in alphabetical order.
Rules for Naming Alkanes
- 1. Identify the main chain: The longest continuous carbon chain is the main chain.
- 2. Number the main chain: Starting from one end, number the carbons in the main chain to give the substituents (branches) the lowest possible numbers.
- 3. Locate and number the branches: Numbering to locate branches for the lowest possible set of numbers, if numbering in either direction yields the same for branches, choose the one with the fewest branches.
- 4. Name and alphabetize the branches: Name the alkyl group and its location in the chain. Alkyl groups are alphabetized in the name.
- 5. Combine the names: Name the main chain and list the branches with numbers and prefixes. Prefixes include di, tri, tetra when applicable).
