Hydrocarbon Derivatives: Halocarbons, Alcohols, & Ethers
Hydrocarbons • Contain only carbon & hydrogen • But carbon can form strong covalent bonds to other elements, incl. O, N, F, Cl, Br, I, S, & P
Functional Group • One or more H’s in a hydrocarbon can be replaced by an atom or group of atoms. • An atom or group of atoms in an organic molecule that always behaves in the same way is called a functional group. • Adding a functional group changes the chemical & physical properties in specific ways, depending on the functional group.
Intermolecular Forces • Determine Boiling Point & Solubility • Van der Waals or dispersion – nonpolar – weakest. • Dipole-dipole – intermediate. Molecule must have atoms with different electronegativities & not arranged symmetrically. • Hydrogen bonding – strongest. Molecules must contain H bonded to F, O, or N. Memory Jogger

Functional Group #1 Halocarbons
Organic Halides • One or more of the hydrogen atoms in an alkane is replaced with a halogen (F, Cl, Br, or I). • Not hydrocarbons! Often called halocarbons or alkyl halides.
Naming Halides • Figure out the base name. • Use prefixes to specify substituent: fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo • If more than one, use di, tri, etc. to specify # of substituents. • If necessary, give locations of halogens by numbering C-atoms in backbone.

Naming Halides CH3CCl2CHClCH3 H Cl H H H – C – C – C – C– H H Cl Cl H 2,2,3-trichlorobutane C4H7Cl3
Ranking Halogens • If more than 1 kind of halogen atom, list them alphabetically. • Chain is numbered to give lowest number to halogen that comes first in alphabet.
Different Halogens 4 3 2 1 Chlorine is 1st alphabetically, so it determines numbering. 2-chloro-4-fluoro-3-iodobutane
Name: Br CH3CH2CHCHCH3 I 3-bromo 2-iodo pentane F Cl HCCH F Cl 1,1-dichloro-2,2-difluoroethane
Properties of Halocarbons • For an alkane & an alkyl halide of similar size & shape, the alkyl halide has the higher boiling point & higher density. Why? • CH4: bp = -162C & density = 0.423 g/ml • CH3Cl: bp = -24C & density = 0.911 g/ml Stronger intermolecular forces. What intermolecular forces for CCl4?

Uses of Alkyl Halides • Cleaners & solvents • Teflon & PVC’s are alkyl halides. • Refrigerants. (used to be chlorofluorocarbons. Now hydrofluorocarbons.) • Starting materials in many reactions.
Halogen Derivatives • CH3Cl = local anesthetic • CHCl3 = solvent, general anesthetic • CHI3 = antiseptic • CCl4 = dry cleaning solvent • CF2Cl2 = refrigerant • Fluorocarbons = teflon, lubricants, synthetic blood • Chlorofluorocarbons = aerosol propellants, refrigerants
Table R • General Formula for halocarbons: R-X • R represents the entire hydrocarbon part of the molecule. (The alkyl part.) • X represents the halogen (F, Cl, Br, or I).
Functional Group #2 Alcohols
Alcohols • An –OH group replaces a H in a hydrocarbon. • The –OH group is called the hydroxyl group. -OH H HCOH H H HCH H
Alcohols are nonelectrolytes! • The hydroxyl group resembles the hydroxide ion of inorganic bases, but it does not form ions in water! • The hydroxyl group is polar. So alcohols are soluble in water.
Naming AlcohOLs • Based on alkane name. • Name the parent chain. • Drop the –e and add –OL. • If the parent chain has 3 or more C atoms, number the C’s & give the location of the –OH group.
Naming H H H H HCCCCH OH H H H H H H H HCCCCH H OH H H 1-Butanol bp = 100C 2-Butanol Bp = 115C Note: Never more than 1 –OH group per C
More than 1 hydroxyl group • Prefixes di-, tri-, tetra- used before the –ol ending to tell the # of hydroxyl groups. • So don’t drop the -e from the alkane name. • These hydroxyls are on different C atoms!
Classifying Alcohols • By # of hydroxyl groups • Monohydroxy: 1 hydroxyl group • Dihydroxy: 2 “ “ • Trihydroxy: 3 “ “ • By position of each hydroxyl group on main carbon chain.
Monohydroxy Alcohols • Primary: hydroxyl group attached to end C of chain or branch. • Secondary: hydroxyl group attached to C in a chain – C is bonded to 2 other C’s. • Tertiary: hydroxyl group attached to C at a branch point – C is bonded to 3 other C’s.

Properties of Alcohols • Contain a H bonded to an O atom. • Therefore Hydrogen Bonding occurs. • Alcohols have a higher boiling point than the corresponding alkane. • Like dissolves Like. Alcohols tend to be very soluble in water.

Which compound has the highest boiling point? • CH4 • C2H6 • C3H8 • C3H7OH Correct response = D.
Table R • General Formula for Alcohols: ROH. • R represents the entire hydrocarbon part of the molecule. • OH is the hydroxyl group.
Functional Group #3 Ethers
Ethers • General formula is ROR where R may or may not be the same as R. • R and R are hydrocarbon branches. • O is an oxygen bridge. • Ethers are not linear. They are bent, like water.
Properties of Ethers • In a pure ether, no hydrogen bonding – no H bonded to O. Do have weak dipole-dipole interactions – bent, like H2O. • Dipole-dipole interactions are between dispersion forces & hydrogen bonding. • Ethyl ether once used as anesthesia
Properties of Ethers • Compared to alkanes: • Higher boiling pts than similar alkanes. • More soluble in water than alkanes. • Compared to alcohols: • Lower boiling pts than similar alcohols. • Much less soluble in water than alcohols.
Naming Ethers • If the 2 hydrocarbon branches are identical, name the branch (once) & add the word ether. • If the 2 branches are different, list them in alphabetical order followed by the word ether.
