    • Office number is Bio-326.
    • Email address is [email protected].
    • Course code is BMD1102.

    Hydrocarbons

    • Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
    • Aliphatic hydrocarbons are open-chain, saturated, or unsaturated.
    • Aromatic hydrocarbons are closed-chain or cyclic, saturated, or unsaturated.
    • Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds.
    • Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one double or triple bond.
    • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
    • Alkenes have one or more double bonds.
    • Alkynes have one or more triple bonds.

    Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

    • Alkanes are the simplest family of hydrocarbons.
    • They contain only carbon-hydrogen (C-H) and carbon-carbon (C-C) single bonds.
    • The general molecular formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
    • The first ten alkanes are methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane.
    • The molecular formulas and structural formulas for each are provided in the lecture notes.

    Shapes of Alkanes

    • Different representations (condensed, bond-line, ball-and-stick) are shown for propane, butane, and pentane.

    Nomenclature of Alkyl Groups

    • Alkyl groups are substituents derived from alkanes by removing one hydrogen.
    • They are named with a -yl ending.
    • Formulas and names for common alkyl groups are given (methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, etc.).

    IUPAC Nomenclature of Branched Alkanes

    • IUPAC is the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
    • IUPAC nomenclature is a standardized system for naming organic compounds.
    • A chemical name typically has four parts: prefix, parent, locant, and suffix.
    • The parent chain is the longest continuous carbon chain.
    • Substituents (branches) are numbered to give the lowest possible numbers.
    • If substituents are equally distant, the next substituent is used to determine the location.
    • Rules for naming branched alkanes are provided in detail.

    Rules for Naming Branched Alkanes (continued)

    • Alphabetical order is used for substituents.
    • Prefixes like "di," "tri," are disregarded.
    • Only "iso" is used in alphabetizing.
    • Substituents are written alphabetically.
    • Substituents on the same carbon atom are written using the number twice, e.g., 2,2-dimethyl...

    Rules for Naming Branched Alkanes (continued)

    • The numerical positions of substituents are listed in increasing order.
    • If more than one substituent is present, the substituents are listed alphabetically and followed by their positions.

    Solved Problems

    • Example structures are given of specific branched alkanes.
    • Solutions for these problems are shown.

    How to Name Cycloalkanes

    • Cycloalkanes are cyclic hydrocarbons where the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring.
    • The general molecular formula is CnH2n.
    • Cycloalkanes lacking substituents are named by counting carbons in the ring and adding "cyclo" to the beginning of the corresponding alkane name.

    How to Name Cycloalkanes (continued)

    • Cycloalkanes with one substituent are named by stating the substituent first, followed by the cycloalkane name.

    How to Name Cycloalkanes (continued)

    • In naming cycloalkenes, the carbon atoms of the double bond are numbered 1 and 2 in the direction that gives the substituent encountered first the smaller number.

    Physical Properties of Alkanes

    • Alkanes are nonpolar.
    • Boiling points increase with increasing number of carbons.
    • Boiling points decrease with chain branching.
    • The reasons given for these effects are the molecular size, compactness of the molecule, and surface area.

    Synthesis of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

    • Hydrogenation is one synthesis method for alkanes.
    • Adding H2 to alkenes with catalysts like Pt, Pd, or Ni yields alkanes.

    Reactions of Alkanes

    • Combustion is the oxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen to produce heat and CO2 and H2O.
    • Halogenation is the replacement of hydrogen by a halogen.
    • Temperature and catalysts are required for halogenation.

    Halogenation of Higher Alkanes

    • The reactivity of various hydrogen atoms being replaced is noted. Primary, secondary, tertiary hydrogen atoms react differently.

    Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes

    • Alkenes and alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one double or triple bond.
    • The lower members of alkenes form oily products when treated using chlorine or bromine.
    • The general molecular formula for alkenes is CnH2n.

    • Detailed explanation, diagrams of hybridization processes, and shapes are shown

    Naming Alkenes and Cycloalkenes

    • Naming rules for alkenes are presented, involving the longest chain containing the double bond.

    • Conditions for cis-trans isomerism are described.

    Synthesis of Alkenes via Elimination Reactions

    • Dehydrohalogenation is the elimination of HX from a haloalkane.
    • Dehydration of alcohols is the elimination of water.

    Oxidative Cleavage Reactions of Alkenes

    • Oxidative reactions like ozonolysis and reactions using KMnO4 have different outcomes depending on whether the reaction involves an alkane or alkene.
