    Study Notes

    Organic Compounds

    • Organic compounds contain carbon and consist of a carbon backbone and one or more functional groups.
    • Carbon backbones can be arranged in chains (aliphatic compounds) or rings (aromatic compounds).

    Carbon

    • Carbon has a central role in all living organisms.
    • It has 4 valence electrons and can make 4 covalent bonds.
    • Carbon can form covalent bonds three different ways.

    Hydrocarbons

    • Hydrocarbons are organic compounds only containing carbon and hydrogen.
    • They include:
      • Alkanes (single bonded)
      • Alkenes (double bonded)
      • Alkynes (triple bonded)
      • Aromatics (rings)

    Alkanes

    • Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain all single bonds.
    • The first 4 are named as shown, and from 5 carbon (pentane) on, they are named after the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
    • Alkanes have the general formula: CnH2n+2

    Alkenes

    • Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
    • They have the general formula: CnH2n
    • Can be straight or non-linear

    Alkynes

    • Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
    • The general formula is: CnH(2n+2)-4x, where x is the number of triple bonds.

    Aromatic Compounds

    • Aromatic compounds contain at least one carbon ring.
    • They are called "aromatic" due to their strong, characteristic odors.
    • Ring consists of alternating single and double bonds.

    Functional Groups

    • Alkyl groups (R) are alkanes minus one hydrogen atom.
    • Alkyl groups are functional groups that attach to larger molecules.
    • Examples of functional groups:
      • Alcohols (ROH)
      • Ethers (ROR)
      • Alkyl Halides (RX)

    Amines

    • Amines are organic compounds formed by replacing one or more of the hydrogen atoms in the ammonia molecule (NH3) by an Alkyl group.
    • They have the structure R-NH2.
    • Examples: methylamine (CH3NH2)

    Carbonyl Groups

    • Carbonyl groups are carbon double bonded to an oxygen.
    • Examples: Ketone, Aldehyde, Carboxylic Acid
    • Hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a carbonyl.

    Local Anesthetics

    • Chemical Structure of Local Anesthetics:
      • Amino Esters (metabolized in the blood)
      • Amino Amides (metabolized in the liver)
    • Examples: Lidocaine, Mepivacaine, Bupivacaine, Etidocaine
