Study Notes
Functional Groups
- Hydroxyl group, carbonyl group, carboxyl group are functional groups
- Hydroxyl group includes alcohols and ethers
- Carbonyl group includes aldehydes and ketones
- Carboxyl group includes carboxylic acids, esters, and amines
Hydroxyl Group
- Includes alcohols and ethers
- Alcohols: An organic compound acting as reagent, solvent, or fuel; colorless and transparent; OH group attached to a single bond alkyl group/alkane
- Examples of alcohols: Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Isopropanol
- Ethers: Ether structure includes two alkyl groups joined by one oxygen; act much like alkanes. Burn/split apart when boiled in concentrated acids; mostly used as solvents.
- Examples of ethers: Dimethyl ether, Ethylmethyl ether, Methylpropyl ether
Carbonyl Group
- Includes aldehydes and ketones
- Aldehydes: General structure of an aldehyde consists of a carbonyl group with its carbon atom attached to both a hydrocarbon atom and a hydrogen atom; commonly found in essential oils(e.g., cilantro, vanilla)
- Examples of aldehydes: Acetaldehyde, 3-methyl 1-butanal
- Ketones: Characterized by a carbonyl group (O=C) linked to two other carbon atoms; commonly used in perfumes and paints to stabilize other ingredients to prevent quick degradation.
- Examples of ketones: Acetone, 2-butanone
Carboxyl Group
- Includes carboxylic acids, esters, and amines
- Carboxylic acids: Characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group (-COOH); used in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and food additives
- Esters: Characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group, in which the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkyl group; When a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol, it forms esters; commonly used as artificial flavorings and fragrances
- Amines: Organic compounds containing a functional group of a basic nitrogen atom; derivatives of ammonia (NH3); when one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by an R group, the attached alkane chain is named utilizing the suffix "-amine"
