Study Notes
Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
- Compounds containing carboxyl groups are termed carboxylic acids.
- Amines typically emit foul odors reminiscent of decaying matter or rotten fish.
- Esters and amides are derivatives of carboxylic acids formed by substituting the -OH group of the carboxyl group with different groups.
- An ester forms when the -OH of the carboxyl is replaced by an ether-like group (-O-R’).
- An amide is created when the -OH of the carboxyl is substituted with an amino group (-NH2).
Importance of Functional Groups
- Knowledge of functional groups is crucial in drug design due to their varied reactions in biological systems.
Ionic and Covalent Bonds
- Ionic bonds occur between metals (left of the periodic table) and nonmetals (right side), resulting in charged ions (cations and anions).
- Metals lose valence electrons to form cations; nonmetals accept electrons to form anions.
- Covalent bonds arise from the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms.
Properties of Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds include hydrocarbons and their derivatives, found in both living organisms and synthetically produced materials.
- Organic compounds are often soluble in water and typically do not conduct electricity in aqueous solutions.
- Combustion of organic compounds generally produces soot and carbon.
Key Properties of Carbon
- Carbon is tetravalent, able to form four strong covalent bonds, integral to the structure of organic compounds.
- Alkanes are a group of hydrocarbons known for their inertness, mainly sourced from natural gas and petroleum.
- Alkenes contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond and are prevalent in nature.
- Alkynes possess one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds.
Aromatic Compounds
- Benzene is a common aromatic compound with a unique ring structure allowing for electron delocalization, contributing to its distinct properties.
Examples and Applications
- Acetic acid provides the tart taste of vinegar; butyric acid gives the smell of rancid butter.
- Benzoic acid serves as an antimicrobial agent in pharmaceuticals.
- Ethyl acetate, a fruity-smelling ester, is utilized as an organic solvent and flavoring.
- The Sumerians utilized willow tree remedies for pain relief dating back 4000 years; this historical practice underscores the long-standing connection between plants and medicinal compounds.
Historical Development
- Salicylic acid, derived from the willow tree in 1829 by Henri Leroux, was the first step towards mass production of aspiring pain relievers.
- The Heyden Chemical Company was the pioneering body in the commercial production of salicylic acid in the 1800s.
