    Study Notes

    Organic Chemistry- I Unit 1 Notes

    • Organic Compounds: Contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, as well as halogens, oxygen, and nitrogen.
    • Classification of Organic Compounds:
      • Acyclic/Open Chain Compounds: Carbon atoms are arranged in an open chain, with terminal atoms free.
        • Saturated: All bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds.
        • Unsaturated: Contain at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms.
      • Cyclic/Closed Chain Compounds: Carbon atoms form a closed ring structure.
        • Homocyclic: All ring atoms are carbon.
        • Heterocyclic: Contain at least one non-carbon atom in the ring.
    • IUPAC Nomenclature: International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry - a standard system for naming organic compounds.
      • Rules for IUPAC Naming:
        • Identify the longest carbon chain.
        • Number the chain starting from the end closest to the substituent.
        • Name the substituents.
        • List the substituents alphabetically.
        • Use prefixes like di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. to indicate multiple identical substituents.
        • For cyclic compounds, use the prefix "cyclo-" before the name of the chain.
      • Isomerism: Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
        • Structural Isomers: Differ in their bonding patterns.
        • Stereoisomers: Have the same bonding patterns but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.
    • Degree of Carbon: Refers to the number of carbon atoms directly attached to a specific carbon atom in a chain.
      • Primary Carbon: Has one carbon atom directly attached to it.
      • Secondary Carbon: Has two carbon atoms directly attached to it.
      • Tertiary Carbon: Has three carbon atoms directly attached to it.
      • Quaternary Carbon: Has four carbon atoms directly attached to it.
    • Naming Complex Substituents:
      • Number the carbon atoms in the substituent chain starting from the carbon atom directly attached to the main chain.
      • Use parentheses to enclose the name of the complex substituent when writing the name of the compound.
    • Naming Unsaturated Compounds:
      • Identify the longest chain containing the maximum number of double or triple bonds.
      • Number the chain so the positions of double or triple bonds have the lowest numbers.
      • Use suffixes "-ene" for double bonds and "-yne" for triple bonds.
      • Indicate the position of the double or triple bonds by the corresponding number before the suffix.
    • Naming Alcohols:
      • Use the suffix "-ol" to indicate the presence of an alcohol functional group.
      • Identify the longest carbon chain containing the alcohol functional group.
      • Number the chain so the position of the alcohol functional group has the lowest number.
      • Indicate the position of the functional group with the corresponding number before the suffix.
    • Naming Aldehydes:
      • Use the suffix "-al" to indicate the presence of an aldehyde functional group.
      • Identify the longest carbon chain containing the aldehyde functional group.
      • The aldehyde functional group will always be at the end of the chain, so it does not need a number in the name.
