  1. In this chapter, we will explore basic organic concepts including nomenclature, structure, and functional groups. Chapter 16Organic Chemistry

  2. What Is an Organic Compound? • Organic vs Inorganic • Vital Force • Synthesis of urea • Carbon chemistry • Most naturally occurring or synthesized compounds.

  3. What Is an Organic Compound? • Carbon chemistry • C-C covalent bonds • C bonds with other nonmetals • Strong • Multiple bonds

  4. The Saturated Hydrocarbons or Alkanes • CxHy • If y = 2x+2, compound is a saturated hydrocarbon, also known as an alkane. • Tetravalent C

  5. The Saturated Hydrocarbons or Alkanes • Straight Chain • Branched Chain • Isomers • Constitutional • Others….later.

  6. Rotation Around C-C Bonds • Conformations • Eclipsed • Staggered

  7. The Nomenclature of Alkanes • Longest chain • Substituents • Number the chain. • Prefixes (di, tri, ...) • Alphabetical substituents

  8. The Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes • Hydrocarbons with C=C or C C are unsaturated. • Alkene for double bond, alkyne for triple bond. • Unsaturated because they do not contain the maximum possible H per C.

  9. The Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes • Nomenclature • -ane to -ene or -yne. • Number C atoms and indicate where multiple bond is located.

  10. Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives • Benzene, C6H6, prototypical. • Structure was a mystery for a long time. • Kekule’s solution. • Resonance structures.

  11. Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives • Monosubstituted benzenes • Toluene, phenol, etc. • Disubstituted benzenes • Ortho, Meta, Para

  12. The Chemistry of Petroleum Products • Natural gas (mostly methane) • Typically distributed by pipeline • Crude oil • Mixture of hydrocarbons • Thermal reforming, cracking • Catalytic reforming, cracking • Used to increase octane number.

  13. The Chemistry of Coal • Complex solid • C137H97O9NS • C240H90O4NS

  14. The Chemistry of Coal Figure 16.2

  15. The Chemistry of Coal • Large US supply • Prefer liquid fuels over solid fuels • Converted to synthetic gas • …on to methanol or other liquid fuels. • Fischer-Tropsh reaction • Liquid hydrocarbons from coal.

  16. Functional Groups • The presentation of organic reactions is organized around functional groups. • As an example, the double bond in an alkene is a functional group. • There are many others.

  17. Functional Groups Table 16.5 and Table 16.6

  18. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions • Already discussed these in Chapter 12. • Oxidation numbers discussed in Section 5.16 • Organic redox can be characterized by • Changes in oxidation numbers, or • Changes in number of H atoms present, or • Changes in number of O atoms present.

  19. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Table 16.7

  20. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions • For example, carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is an oxidation • …methanol to methane is a reduction.

  21. Alkyl Halides • Formed from alkane and halogen in the presence of UV light. • Chain-reaction mechanism

  22. Alkyl Halides • Chain reaction mechanism • Initiation • Propagation • Termination

  23. Alcohols and Ethers • Alcohol, ROH, is a functional group. • Names end in ol. • Also common names such as wood alcohol. • Classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. • Are Brønsted acids.

  24. Alcohols and Ethers • Conjugate base of alcohol is alkoxide. • Alcohol related to water by replacement of one H. • Replace both Hs in water and get ether.

  25. Alcohols and Ethers • Ethers, ROR’. • Alcohols H bond, ethers do not. • Affects bp. • Affects solubility in water. • Ethers are an example of aprotic solvents.

  26. Aldehydes and Ketones • Primary Alcohol that has be dehydrogenated • CH3CH2OH → CH3COH • If alcohol is secondary, ketone results. • RC(OH)HR’ → RCOR’

  27. Aldehydes and Ketones • Nomenclature • Aldehydes named from corresponding carboxylic acid • Ending with al.

  28. Aldehydes and Ketones • Nomenclature • Ketones named with two alkyl groups plus ketone. ethyl methyl ketone

  29. Reactions at the Carbonyl Group • RR’C=O has negative end (O) and positive end (C). • Electrophiles are attracted to O. • For example, H+. • Nucleophiles are attracted to C. • For example, alkoxide.

  30. Carboxylic Acids and Carboxylate Ions • OH attached to carbonyl C makes a carboxylic acid, -COOH. • Carboxylate ion, -COO-. • Resonance structures • Names end in -oic acid. • Common names

  31. Carboxylic Acids and Carboxylate Ions Table 16.8

  32. Esters • Carboxylic acid plus alcohol produces ester plus water. • Other more efficient methods to prepare esters. • Name also includes product of strong acid and alcohol • Carboxylic acid esters are RCO2R’.

  33. Amines, Alkaloids, and Amides • Ammonia with one or more H replaced with alkyl. • Like alcohols, have primary, secondary, and tertiary. • Name has -amine at end. • Amines are bases, just like ammonia.

  34. Amines, Alkaloids, and Amides • To improve water solubility, ammonium salts prepared. • Amides are a combination of carboxylic acids and amines. • Produced via acyl chloride and amine • RCOCl + 2R’NH2 → RCONHR’+ R’NH3Cl- • Alkaloids isolated from plants…

  35. Amines, Alkaloids, and Amides Figure 16.6

  36. Alkene Stereoisomers • Already discussed constitutional isomers in section 16.2 • Another type of isomer is called stereoisomer. • cis and trans are stereoisomers. • Not all alkenes have cis and trans isomers.

  37. Alkene Stereoisomers • cis and trans not always enough to describe alkene stereoisomer. • E and Z methods more versatile. • Substituent atoms prioritized by atomic number: E and Z used to describe position of the two highest priority atoms.

  38. Stereogenic Atoms • The two C atoms in C=C when cis and trans isomers are possible are stereogenic atoms. • Other possibilities for stereogenic atoms. • The C in CHFClBr is stereogenic.

  39. Stereogenic Atoms • Any tetrahedral C with 4 different atoms attached will be stereogenic.

  40. Stereogenic Atoms • Stereoisomers may be mirror images of each other: enantiomers. • If the mirror images are not superposable, the stereoisomers are chiral. Figure 16.12

  41. Stereogenic Atoms …or they may not be mirror images of each other: diastereomers. • cis and trans isomers are diastereomers.

  42. Optical Activity • Optically active compounds • Rotate the plane of polarized light. • Specific rotation is a measure of the ability of a compound to do this.

  43. Optical Activity • Need a method for distinguishing the left handed and right handed version of a chiral center in a molecule or ion. • As before, substituents are prioritized. • R and S used to designate the two possible orientations of substituents.
