5) Carboxylic Acids General Formula:O ll R – C – OH (carboxyl group)
Properties & Uses • Weak acids • Found in edible substances i.e. Citric acid, aspirin; builds up in muscles: lactic acid
Naming Rules • -oic acid ending on parent chain • Functional grp gets lowest # in parent chain • Substituents named as always
Examples i.e. 5 – ehtylheptanoic acid Draw: Name:
Note: If this functional grp is drawn on the far left carbon, the OH is turned around and written as HO to show that the bond is between the C – O
6) Esters General Formula: O ll R – C – O – R'
Properties & Uses • Pleasant smells • Aromas in fruits
Naming Rules O ll R – C – O – R' • oate ending, named last -yl ending, named 1st • ***There is a space btn the names***
Examples Draw butyl propanoate Name the following: O ll CH3 – C – O – CH3
7) Amines General Formula: R – N – H l H • *Hs can be C chains • 3 types: 1o, 2o, 3o
Properties & Uses • Bad odours (fishy), weak bases • P69 for examples
Naming Rules • Amino prefixes the parent chain name • # in front of amino to indicate the location of the N on the parent chain • If there are C chains on the N, the letter N is placed in front of the substituent name (see examples below)
Examples Draw the following: • 2 – aminobutane • N – methyl – 3 – pentane • N – ethyl – N,3 – dimethyl-2-aminobutane
8) Amides • General Formula: O ll R – C – N – H l H *Hs can be replaced by C chains
Properties & Uses • Backbone for larger organic molecules like DNA and proteins
Naming Rules • Parent chain gets amide ending • C-chains on N are named the same as in amines
Examples Draw N- methylpentanamide Name: O ll CH3 – CH2 – C – N – CH3 l CH2 – CH3
