Study Notes

Organic Chemistry - Simple Mono-Functional Groups

  • The lecture is for second-year students
  • The professor is Dr. Syed Abdelkader Ahmed, a Professor of Organic Chemistry
  • Dr. Ali Hassan Mohamed is also mentioned as part of the lecture team
  • The lecture covers simple mono-functional groups
  • The course aims to introduce students to the basic properties and reactions of simple mono-functional groups.

Course Structure

  • The course covers the introduction to mono-functional groups followed by nomenclature and reaction preparations for various categories.
  • The course content follows a structured order covering alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives including amines.
  • The study also covers the assessment system, including mid-term, practical, and final exams.
  • Midterms, practical examinations, and final exams weigh the assessments.

Topics and Content

  • Week 1: Introduction to mono-functional groups
  • Weeks 2-3: Nomenclature and reactions of alcohols
  • Week 4: Nomenclature and reactions of ethers
  • Weeks 5-6: Nomenclature and reactions of aldehydes
  • Weeks 7-8: Midterm
  • Weeks 8-9: Nomenclature and reactions of ketones
  • Weeks 10-11: Nomenclature and reactions of carboxylic acids
  • Week 12: Nomenclature and reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives
  • Week 13: Nomenclature and reactions of amines
  • Week 14: Oral exam
  • Week 15: Revision

General Principles:

  • Organic molecules often contain heteroatoms (atoms other than carbon and hydrogen), such as oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens.
  • Most organic reactions involve the interaction of electron-rich areas with electron-poor areas in molecules.
  • C-C and C-H bonds are mostly unreactive.
  • Bonds between carbon and heteroatoms are often polar, which creates areas of varying electron density and can lead to reactions.
  • Carbon atoms can form a maximum of 4 bonds. Rotation around single bonds causes multiple arrangements of the carbon skeleton.
  • Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single carbon-carbon bonds and are saturated.
  • The general formula for an alkane is CnH2n+2, where n is an integer.
  • Alkane compounds form a homologous series characterized by a constant increment in each successive molecule (-CH2- group).

Naming Organic Compounds

  • Organic compound names comprise three parts: prefix, root, and suffix.
  • The root name depends on the number of carbon atoms making the longest continuous carbon chain.
  • The suffix indicates which category of organic compound it is; e.g., -ane for alkanes and -ene for alkenes.
  • The prefix denotes any substituent groups attached to the main carbon chain.

Diversity and Reactivity of Organic Molecules

  • Many organic compounds consist of heteroatoms (atoms besides C and H).
  • Most reactions involve electron-rich areas in one molecule interacting with electron-poor areas in another.

Hydrocarbons

  • Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen.
  • Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single carbon-carbon bonds.
  • Alkenes contain at least one double carbon-carbon bond.
  • Alkynes contain at least one triple carbon-carbon bond.

Assessment Details

  • Midterm exam: 30%
  • Practical exams: 60%
  • Final exam: 210%
  • Total: 300%
  • Weight of assessments is given to different assessments
