Study Notes
Organic Chemistry
- Study of carbon compounds
Functional Groups
- Determine the identity of a compound
- Show predictable physical and chemical behaviors
Alcohol
- Contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol classification depends on the number of carbons bonded to the carbon containing the hydroxyl group
Aldehyde
- Contains a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydrogen atom
- Has a -CHO group
Amide
- A functional derivative of a carboxylic acid
- The amino group replaces the –OH of the carboxyl group
Amine
- Organic compound where one, two, or three hydrogens of ammonia are replaced by carbon groups
- RNH2, R2NH, or R3N
- Classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary depending on the number of carbon groups bonded to the nitrogen atom of the amino group
Amino Group
- Nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three R groups, RNH2, R2NH, or R3N
- R represents a carbon group
Carbonyl Group
- C=O group
Carboxyl
- Contains carbonyl and hydroxyl group
- has a –COOH group
Carboxylic Acid
- Contains a –COOH group
Carboxylic Ester
- A derivative of a carboxylic acid
- A carbon group replaces the hydrogen of the carboxyl group
- -COOR or -CO₂R
Condensed Structural Formula
- Shortened method for writing organic structures
- Groups hydrogens with the atom they are attached to
Ketone
- Contains a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon groups
