Functional Groups – Page 3 • Functional group - a specific arrangement of atoms in an organic compound, that is capable of characteristic chemical reactions. • Most organic chemistry involves substituents • often contain O, N, S, or P
Same Functional Group • Will have the same non-hydrocarbon group • Will have similar chemical properties
Alcohols – Page 3 • Alcohols - Organic compounds with an -OH group • The -OH functional group in alcohols is called a “hydroxyl” group; thus R-OH is the formula • How is this different from the hydroxide ion? (covalent bonding with the carbon- not ionic with a metal like bases)
Alcohols • For IUPAC: • Drop the -e ending of the parent alkane name; • add ending of -ol, • number the position of -OH
Alcohols • The hydroxyl is given the lowest position number • Alcohols containing 2, 3, and 4 of the -OH substituents are named diols, triols, and tetrols respectively
Ethers – Page 5 • Organic compounds in which oxygen is bonded to 2 carbon groups: R-O-R is formula • R and R’ could be two different alkyl chains.
Naming Ethers • Name the two alkyl chains on each side of the Oxygen. • Add –yl ending. • Name the longest chain first and shorter chain second. • Combine the two names and add ether.
Aldehydes (p. 9) • Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to the beginning (1st Carbon) or end (last Carbon) of a parent carbon chain. • General form: O O R-C-H H-C-R • Naming: • Drop the “e” from the alkane name and add “al”
Example O C-C-H Ethane ( - e ) add al Ethanal
Name: O C O C-C-C-C 2-methyl-1,4-butanedial (you are supposed to keep the “e”)
Ketones (p. 10) • Organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is attached to carbons within the parent carbon chain (not at the beginning or end). • General form: O R-C-R’ • Naming: • Drop the “e” from the alkane name and add “one”. • “one” is pronouced “own” • Give the position # for the carbonyl.
Example: O C-C-C 2-propanone
Example: CO O C-C-C-C-C-C 5-methyl-2,3-hexanedione
Carboxylic Acids (p. 11) • Carboxyl group: O or O -C-OH HO-C- • Organic compounds that contain a carboxyl functional group. • Can only be on the ends.
Carboxylic Acids (p. 11) O • General formula: R-C-OH • Naming: • If one carboxyl group • Drop the “e” from the alkane name and add “-oic acid”. (No number needed for the carboxyl group)
Example: O C-C-C-C-C-C-OH hexanoic acid
Example: CO C-C-C-C-C-C-OH 5-methyl hexanoic acid
If more that one carboxyl group. • One on each end of the parent chain. • -dioic acid.
Example: OO HO-C-C-C-C-OH 1,4-butanedioic acid
