    Study Notes

    Drawing Structural Formulas

    • Determine the number of carbon atoms based on the prefix in the compound name.
    • Draw the carbon chain accordingly.
    • Check the name's suffix; if it ends in –ane, insert single bonds between carbon atoms.
    • For suffix –ene or –yne, identify the number indicating after which carbon to place the double or triple bond.
    • Add hydrogen atoms to each carbon, ensuring each has four bonds.

    Examples of Structural Formulas

    • 2-butene:

      • Contains 4 carbons (but-)
      • Double bond after the 2nd carbon
      • Remaining bonds are single; fill with hydrogens.

    • 2-hexyne:

      • Contains 6 carbons (hex-)
      • Triple bond after the 3rd carbon.

    • Nonane:

      • Contains 9 carbons (non-)
      • All bonds are single.

    Naming Branched-Chain Hydrocarbons

    • Hydrocarbon chains can have smaller carbon chains as branches.
    • Attached groups are called "alkyl" groups; their names end in –yl.
    • Common alkyl groups:
      • Methyl (CH3), Ethyl (C2H5), Propyl (C3H7).
    • Number carbons to ensure the branch has the lowest possible number when naming.

    Examples of Named Branched Chains

    • 2-methyl-butane: Methyl group on the 2nd carbon of a butane chain.
    • 3-ethyl-heptane: Ethyl group on the 3rd carbon of a heptane chain.
    • 2,4-dimethyl-hexene: Methyl groups on the 2nd and 4th carbons of a hexene chain.

    Ethers

    • General formula features an oxygen bridge between two carbon chains.
    • Common examples include methyl propyl ether and propyl ethyl ether.

    Organic Acids

    • Naming examples include pentanoic acid and butanoic acid, indicating the presence of the carboxylic (-COOH) functional group.

    Esters

    • General formula also includes an oxygen bridge between carbon chains.
    • Formed from the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols.

    Amines

    • Derivatives of ammonia.
    • Examples include 1-butanamine and 2-propanamine.

    Amides

    • Formed when amines react with carboxylic acids.

    Amino Acids

    • Contain both the carboxylic group and an amine group attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
    • Glycine is a common example.

    Hydrocarbons Overview

    • Composed of only carbon and hydrogen.
    • Include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.

    Types of Hydrocarbons

    • Alkanes: Single bonds only; saturated hydrocarbons.
    • Alkenes: Contains at least one double bond; unsaturated hydrocarbons.
    • Alkynes: Contains at least one triple bond; unsaturated hydrocarbons.

    Reactions in Organic Chemistry

    • Esterification: Formation of esters from organic acids and alcohols, releasing water.
    • Saponification: Reaction of fat with a base, forming glycerol and soap.
    • Polymerization: Process of forming large molecules (polymers) from small units (monomers), can be addition or condensation reactions.
