Study Notes
Heterocyclic Compounds
- Imidazole is a heterocyclic compound and an important component of the drug cimetidine, used for treating stomach ulcers.
- Porphyrin ring, found in hemoglobin and chlorophyll, is a heterocyclic compound.
- Metronidazole is a heterocyclic compound commonly used to combat anaerobic bacterial and parasitic infections.
Alkenes
- The defining characteristic of alkenes is the presence of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
Cyclic Alkanes
- Cyclohexane is an example of a cyclic alkane.
Incomplete Combustion
- When alkanes undergo incomplete combustion, they produce soot, carbon monoxide, and water vapor.
- Incomplete combustion in car engines is a concern because it can lead to the formation of air pollutants and reduce engine efficiency.
Aromatic Compounds
- Electrophilic substitution reactions involve the exchange of the hydrogen attached to carbon with other groups or atoms in aromatic compounds.
