    • Students will be able to identify different types of chemical bonds.
    • Students will be able to recognize different classes of organic compounds.
    • Students will be able to assess the structural features of organic compounds and their IUPAC names.
    • Students will be able to demonstrate alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides (nomenclature, physical and chemical properties, preparation, and chemical reactions).
    • Students will be able to classify different reaction mechanisms.
    • Students will be able to outline fundamental principles and applications of stereochemistry, stereo-dynamic, hydroxyl, and carbonyl compounds.

    Organic Compounds

    • Acyclic: Open chain aliphatic compounds
      • Alicyclic: Carbocyclic
        • Aromatic
      • Cyclic: Carbocyclic
        • Heterocyclic

    Organic Compound Types

    • Organic compounds: Compounds containing carbon in C-C bonds. Organic compounds come from organisms.
    • Carbocyclic compounds: Cyclic organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen.
    • Alicyclic compounds: Saturated cyclic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. They behave like alkanes (examples: cyclopropane, cyclohexane).
    • Aromatic compounds: Carbocyclic compounds containing a benzene ring or cyclic compounds with a low H/C ratio (examples: benzene, naphthalene).
    • Heterocyclic compounds: Cyclic organic compounds containing one or more heteroatoms (nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen). (examples: pyridine, furan, thiophen).

    Aliphatic Hydrocarbons

    • Saturated: Alkanes (general formula CnH2n+2)
    • Unsaturated: Alkenes (contain double bonds), Alkynes (contain triple bonds)

    Alkanes

    • General formula: CnH2n+2
    • Nomenclature:
      • Common names ("trivial names")
      • IUPAC system (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)
    • Naming rules include:
      • Longest continuous carbon chain
      • Substituent numbering for lowest numbers
      • Multiple substituents are listed in alphabetical order.

    Alkyl groups

    • Obtained by removing one hydrogen from an alkane.
    • Replace the "-ane" suffix with "-yl"
    • Examples: methyl from methane, ethyl from ethane, propyl from propane
    • "iso" and "neo" are prefixes associated with some branched alkyl groups.

    Alkane Preparations

    • From unsaturated hydrocarbons (catalytic reduction):
      • Reacting unsaturated hydrocarbons with hydrogen and a catalyst (eg. Ni or Pd).
    • From alkyl halides:
      • Reduction: alkyl halides react with substances such as Zn/HCl, Mg/Hg/EtOH, or LiAlH4 to form alkanes.
      • Wurtz reaction: alkyl halides react with sodium metal to yield alkanes.
    • From Grignard reagents: alkyl halides react with magnesium metal to form alkanes using specific conditions
    • From carbonyl compounds (e.g. Clemmenson, Wolf-Kischner reductions): reducing carbonyl compounds for alkanes using different catalysts.

    Alkane Reactions

    • Generally inert: Do not readily react.
    • Halogenation: Substitution reactions at high temperatures or with light. Chlorine reacts more readily, but is less selective. Iodine is less reactive and more selective.

    Cycloalkanes

    • Alkanes with cyclic carbon structures.
    • General formula: CnH2n
    • Nomenclature:
      • Prefix "cyclo-" is added to the alkane name to indicate the cyclic structure.
      • Following standard alkane naming rules.

    Cycloalkane Preparations

    • From other cyclic compounds: Certain cyclic compounds react to form cycloalkane.
    • By dehalogenation of dihalogen derivatives: Dihalogen derivatives react with reagents to yield cycloalkanes.

    Reactions of Cycloalkanes and Five/Six-membered Rings

    • Baeyer Strain theory: The difference between bond angle from tetrahedral angle will affect their stability and strain of the ring structure
    • Cycloalkanes with smaller ring sizes have higher strain.
    • Strained five/six membered rings may still undergo normal substitution reactions.
