  1. Christian Brothers High SchoolDepartment of Chemistry Organic Chemistry

  2. Definitions • Organic means “based on carbon” • Hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements are sometimes present • Inorganic means all those compounds without carbon • Exceptions: Diamond, graphite, carbon dioxide

  3. What’s So Special About Carbon? • It can form 4 covalent bonds • With other carbon atoms • With other elements • Forms long chains (straight or branched) • Rings and hoops

  4. Meth- 1 carbons Eth- 2 carbons Prop- 3 carbons But- 4 carbons Pent- 5 carbons Hex- 6 carbons Hept- 7 carbons Oct- 8 carbons Non- 9 carbons Dec- 10 carbons Eico- 11 carbons Dodec- 12 carbons Organic Nomenclature: Prefixes

  5. Organic NomenclatureSuffixes/Meanings I • -ane Alkane (saturated hydrocarbon) • -ene Alkene (one double bond) • -yne Alkyne (one triple bond) • -ine organic amine (amphetamine, caffeine, cocaine, morphine, heroin) • -one Ketone (acetone, nail polish remover)

  6. Organic NomenclatureSuffixes/Meanings II • -ase Enzymes ( proteincatalysts in biochemical reactions) • -ose Sugars (glucose, sucrose) • -ol Alcohols • -al Aldehydes (formaldehyde) • -ate Esters (many flavors and fragrances) • -ade Something to drink

  7. Hydrocarbons • Compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen • Obtained from petroleum distillation • Fuels, solvents, lubricants, waxes, paving materials • Starting materials for countless other products

  8. Hydrocarbons- Types • Aliphatic Long chains (can be branched) • Alicyclic Rings or hoops

  9. Aliphatic Hydrocarbons • 2 Types • Saturated (only single bonded carbons) • Unsaturated (can contain double or triple bonded carbons)

  10. Saturated Hydrocarbons(Alkanes) • All end in –ane • Only single bonds • Generic formula CnH(2n+2) • Known as a homologous series (add CH2 unit each time) • Methane CH4 (Natural Gas) • Propane C3H8 (common fuel gas) • Butane C4H10 (common fuel gas) • Gasoline (A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons from heptane C7H16 to Decane C10H22

  11. Saturated Hydrocarbons(Alkanes) • Kerosene (Mixture of C9-C17 Used as Jet fuel, home heater fuel) • Diesel ( Mixture of C9-C23 Used as motor fuel) • Lubricants (Range from C24 to C40 depending on viscosity needed) • Waxes C40-C70 (candle fuel) • Asphalt (Paving material) • Prop- + -ane = propane 3 carbon • Oct- + -ane = octane 8 carbons

  12. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons(Alkenes) • 1 Double Bond • Homologous Series remains the same, add CH2 each time • Generic formula CnH2n • Ethene (C2H4) common name ethylene • Butene (C4H8) • 2 double bonds are called Dienes • 3 double bonds are called Trienes

  13. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons(Alkynes) • Contains a triple bond • Names end in -yne • Generic formula CnH(2n-2) • Most Familiar example is ethyne • Common name acetylene C2H2 • Welding fuel kept dissolved in acetone

  14. Alicyclic Hydrocarbons • 2 types • Saturated rings • Cyclohexane C6H12 • Aromatic rings • Benzene C6H6
