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
