Functional Groups Alcohols Halides

-Organic compounds can contain elements other than C and H
     -These are known as functional groups
-Carbon chains without functional groups are written as -R

Alcohols
-An alcohol is a hydrocarbon with a -OH bonded to it
-Same naming rules apply but the parent chain ends with and -ol
-If a compound has more than one -OH group number add -diol,triol, etc endings
EXAMPLE


Halides
-Group 7 elements (F,Cl,Br,I) can bond to a hydrocarbon chain
-Naming follows standard rules with halides using floro chloro bromo and iodo

More Functional Groups

Carboxylic Acids


- Carboxylic acids are formed by the function group (The "R" means it's a chain)

- Use standard rules but change the parent changing ending to -oic acid
- The simplest carboxylic acid is methanoic acid



Eg.

3 Chloro, 3 methyl, butanoic acid

                     Cl      O                  
                       |       | |                  
                      / \     /  \                
                    /     \ /      \
                                  OH

Ethers

- An Ether contains an oxyegen group connected to two alkyl (carbon) chains
- Name the small alkyl group first, then the second alkyl group followed by the Ether.

Ketones & Aldehydes

Ketones

-A ketone is a hydrocarbon chain with a double bonded that is NOT on either end.
-Follow standard rules and add - one to the parent chain

Example

      O
      ll       propanone           \ /  \ /          4 methyl 2 propanone
     /   \                                  l   ll
                                                O

Aldehydes


- An aldehyde is a compound that has a double bonded oxygen a the END of a chain
- The simplest aldehyde is methanal (also called formaldehyde)
-Follow the standard rules and change the parent chain ending to -al
-BE careful when naming aldehydes and alcohols

Example

      H      H     H         O
       l        l       l        //                                        
H-  C  -  C  -  C  -  C      Butanal             
       I        I       I       \
      H      H     H       H

Alicyclics and Aromatics

-Carbon chains can form two types of closed loops
-Alicyclics are loops usually made with single bonds
-If the parent chain is a loop standard naming rules apply with one addition: 'cyclo' is added in front of the parent chain

Cyclopentane

-Numbering can start anywhere and go CW or CCW on the loop but side chain numbers must be the lowest possible
-Loops can also be a side chain
-Same rules apply but the side chain is given a cyclo-prefix

Aromatics

-Benzene (C6H6) is a cyclic hydrocarbon with unique bonds between the carbon atoms
-Structurally if can be drawn with alternating double bonds
-Careful analysis shows that all 6-C-C bonds are identical and really represent a 1.5 bond
-This is due to e- resonance
-e- are free to move all around the ring

Aromatic Nomenclature

-A Benzene molecule is given a special diagram to show it's unique bond structure
-Benzene can be a parent chain or a side chain
-As a side chain it is given the name phenyl

Alkenes and Alkynes (Double and Triple Bonds)

- Carbon can form double and triple bonds with Carbon atoms
- When multiple bonds form fewer hydrogen are attached to the Carbon atom
- The naming rules are almost the same as the Alkanes
     - The position of the double/triple bonds always has the lowest number and its put in front of the parent chain.

Eg.  4 Butene
       1 Octene

- Double bonds (Alkenes) end in -ene
- Triple bonds (Alkynes) end in -yne

"Trans" and "Cis" Butene

- If two adjacent carbons are bonded by a double bond and have side chains on them two possible compounds are possible.


Eg.


H3C                                          CH3
         \                                     /
               C          =            C
             /                          \
         H                                H

Cis 2 Butene



H                           CH3
    \                         /
         C     =    C
       /                  \
  H3C                 H


Trans 2 Butene


Multiple Double Bonds

-More than one double bond can exist in a molecule
- Use the same multiplier inside the parent chain




               H              H
      H  -  C  =  C  -  C  =  C  -  H
                                         H

Organic Chemistry

Nomenclature:

-Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon Compounds
-Carbon forms multiple bonds
-Carbon compounds can form chains, rings or branches
-There are less than 100,000 non-organic compounds
-Organic compounds number more than 17,000,000
-The simplest organic compounds are made of carbon and hydrogen

        H
         I
H  -  C  -  H             CH4
         I
        H


-Saturated Compounds have no double and triple bonds
- Compounds with only single bonds are called Alkanes and always end in "ane"

Nomenclature


-There are 3 strategies of organic compounds
1. straight chains
2. cyclic chains
3. aromatics

Straight Chains

-Rulers for naming straight chain compounds

1. Circle the longest continuous chain and name this as the base chain
2. Number the base chain so side chains have the lowest possible numbers
3. Name each side chain using the "yl" ending
4. Give each side chain the appropriate number
-If there are more than one identical side chain numbers/ labels are slightly different
5. List side chains alphabetically

Intermolecular Bonds

Types of Bonds
-Intramolecular bonds exist within a molecular bond
     -Ionic, Covalent
-Intermolecular bonds exist between molecules
     -The stronger the intermolecular bonds the higher the BP or MP
     -The two types of intermolecular bonds are Van der Waals bonds and Hydrogen bonds

Vander Waals Bonds
-Based on electron distribution
-Two categories
Dipole-Dipole bonds
-If a molecule is polar the positive end of one molecule will be attracted to the negative end of another molecule

Hydrogen Bonds
-If hydrogen is bonded to certain elements (F, O, or N) the bond is highly polar
-This forms a very strong intermolecular bond

London Dispersion Forces
-LDF is present in all molecules
-Creates weakest bonds
-If a substance is non polar Dipole-Dipole forces don't exist
-Electrons are free to move around and will randomly be grouped on one side of the molecule
-This creates a temporary dipole and can cause a weak bond to form
