    Study Notes

    Organic Compounds Naming Overview

    • Naming organic compounds involves identifying the structure based on functional groups and molecular frameworks.
    • Compounds can include special descriptors (e.g., bromo, chloro, ethyl) that denote the presence of halogens or alkyl groups.

    Important Organic Compounds

    • 1-Bromo-2-Methyl-Cyclohexane: A cycloalkane with a bromine atom and a methyl group.
    • 2-Pentene: An alkene with a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms.
    • Methanal: The simplest aldehyde, commonly known as formaldehyde.
    • 4-Ethyl-2-Heynyne: An alkyne with an ethyl group on the fourth carbon and a triple bond starting at the second carbon.
    • 1,3-Dichlorocyclopentane: A cyclopentane derivative with chlorine substitutions at the first and third positions.

    Functional Groups and Specific Compounds

    • Benzaldehyde: An aromatic aldehyde, distinct for its benzene ring with an aldehyde group.
    • Cyclohexene: A cyclic alkene with a double bond in a six-carbon ring.
    • Chloroethene: Also known as vinyl chloride, an important precursor in the production of PVC.
    • 2-Methyl-1,5-Hexadiene: A diene with a methyl side chain and two double bonds.
    • 1-Chloro-4-Ethylbenzene: A chlorinated aromatic compound with an ethyl group on the benzene ring.

    Halogenated Compounds

    • 1-Bromo-3-Chloro-4-Ethylbenzene: Contains both bromine and chlorine substituents on an ethylbenzene framework.
    • 2-Bromo-3-Chloro-Heptane: A seven-carbon chain with bromine and chlorine substituents.
    • 1,1-Dichloropropene: An alkene with two chlorine atoms on the first carbon.

    Alcohols and Acids

    • 3-Hexanone: A ketone with a six-carbon chain and a carbonyl group on the third carbon.
    • 3-Pentanol: An alcohol with a hydroxyl group on the third carbon of a five-carbon chain.
    • 2-Propanol: Commonly known as isopropanol, a secondary alcohol.
    • Ethanoic Acid: Also known as acetic acid, recognized for its sour taste and use in vinegar.
    • Benzoic Acid: A simple aromatic carboxylic acid with a benzene ring attached to a carboxylic group.

    Esters and Ethers

    • Methyl-Ethanoate: An ester formed from methanol and acetic acid.
    • Ethyl Ethanoate: Commonly known as ethyl acetate, used as a solvent.
    • Ethyl butanoate: An ester contributing to the flavor of various fruits.
    • Diethyl ether: A widely-used solvent known for its volatility and flammability.

    Amines

    • Triethylamine: A tertiary amine, often used as a base in organic reactions.
    • Methyl Amine: A primary amine derived from ammonia with a methyl group.

    Long-Chain Fatty Acids

    • Cis-9-Octadecenoic Acid: Also known as oleic acid, an important monounsaturated fat.
    • Hexadecanoic Acid: Also known as palmitic acid, a common saturated fatty acid found in animals and plants.
    • Octadecanoic Acid: Known as stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid prominent in animal fat and vegetable oils.

    Miscellaneous

    • Cyclopentadiene: A cyclic diene important in various chemical syntheses.
    • 2,7,7-Trimethyl-2-octanol: A branched-chain alcohol with multiple methyl groups.
    • Cyclohexanone: A cyclic ketone used as a solvent and chemical intermediate.
