Presentation Transcript

  1. Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

  2. Alkanes and Cycloalkanes Hydrocarbons(contain only carbon and hydrogen) • Saturated: (Contain only single bonds) Alkanes (CnH2N + 2 ) Cycloalkanes (CnH2N ) b)Unsaturated: contain Alkenes: double bonds (,,,CnH2N) Alkynes: triple bonds ((CnH2N - 2) Aromatic: benzene like compounds

  3. Sources of alkanes • Petroleum and natural gas are the two most important natural sources of alkanes. Where do we use alkanes in everyday life? • Propane in grills/stoves, butane in lighters, gasoline in autos, and oil in auto engines

  4. The structure of alkanes

  5. Alkyl groups Groups attached to the main chain are called substituents. Saturated substituents that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called alkyl groups. An alkyl group is named by taking the name of the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms and changing the - ane ending to -yl

  6. Nomenclature of substituted alkanes • Choose the largest continuous chain • Start numbering (lowest possible numbering) • List substituentsalphabitically. • Use di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca for identical groups • If two or more different types of substituents are present, they are listed alphabetically, except that prefixes such as di - and tri - are not considered when alphabetizing. Examples

  7. If there are two equally long continuous chains, choose the one with most branches

  8. Physical properties of alkanes 1) Water insoluble 2) low boiling point, which increases upon increasing the number of carbons in the alkane 3) branched alkanes have lower boiling points than the corresponding long chain alkanes

  9. Conformations of Alkanes: • Conformers: Stereoisomers that are interconvertible by bond rotation

  10. Cycloalkanes:

  11. Conformations of Cyclohexane

  12. 1. Oxidation and Combustion; Alkanes as Fuels • Combustion of hydrocarbons is an oxidation in which C-H bonds are replaced by C-O bonds • Exothermic reactions produce heat. Reactions of Alkanes:

  13. 2. Halogenation of Alkanes

  14. Draw the monochloro and dichloro products expected from chlorination of propane
