Study Notes
General Organic Chemistry Content
- This document covers various aspects of general organic chemistry, including nomenclature, classifications of organic compounds, homologous series, and isomerism. The document also discusses various functional groups and reactions.
Nomenclature of Organic Compounds
- Nomenclature involves assigning names to organic compounds systematically.
- IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) rules are used for systematic naming.
- Names generally consist of a prefix, word root, primary suffix and secondary suffix.
Classification of Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds are broadly classified as acyclic (open-chain) and cyclic (closed-chain) compounds.
- Acyclic or aliphatic compounds have open chains, which could be either branched or unbranched..
- Cyclic or carbocyclic compounds have closed chains of carbon atoms, with alicyclic compounds resembling acyclic compounds in properties, and aromatic compounds having alternate single and double bonds. (e.g. benzene)
- Heterocyclic compounds have atoms other than just carbon in the ring.
Homologous Series
- Homologous series are a series of organic compounds with a gradual gradation in physical and chemical properties.
- Successive members differ by CH₂ and by a mass of 14 units.
- Example: Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic acids.
- Each homologous series commonly shares a formula.
Isomerism
- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.
- Structural isomerism involves differences in the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.
- Chain/Nuclear isomers have different carbon atom arrangements.
- Positional isomers have the same carbon arrangement, but a functional group at a different position.
- Functional isomers have the same atoms, but different functional groups.
- Stereoisomers have the same structural formula but different spatial arrangements of atoms or groups in space.
- Geometrical isomerism is caused by the restricted rotation around a double bond.
- Optical isomerism refers to non-superimposable mirror images.
- Conformational isomers result from rotation around a single bond.
Other Topics
- The document also covers topics like:
- Haloalkanes
- Alkanols
- Alkanediols
- Alkoxyalkanes (Ethers)
- Alkanals (Aldehydes)
- Alkanones (Ketones)
- Alkanoic Acids
- Alkanedioic Acids
- Alkanamides
- Alkyl Cyanides
- Alkyl nitriles
- Alkanoyl chlorides (Acid Chlorides)
- Alkylakanoates (Esters)
- Nitroalkanes
