Hydrocarbon derivatives are organic molecules that contain one or more elements in addition to carbon and hydrogen.
A functional group is an atom or group of atoms in hydrocarbon derivatives that contain elements in addition to carbon and hydrogen.
In developing a general formula for types of organic compounds, the symbol R is used.
A second R group is called R and a third R group is called R.
In the case of alcohols, the hydroxyl group, OH1 is a substituent on a hydrocarbon.
Alcohols are named by replacing the e on the end of the parent hydrocarbon with ol.
Numbering may be necessary. The hydroxyl group is to be on the lowest number carbon.
Example:CH3OHis methanol because the R group comes from methane.
ethanol CH3CH2OH
1-propanol CH3CH2CH2OH
2-propanol CH3CHCH3 OH
CH3CH3CCH2CH2CH2CH2Br OH 6-bromo-2-methyl-2-hexanol
An ether is an organic compound in which two hydrocarbon groups are joined to an oxygen.
methoxymethane CH3OCH3
ethoxyethane CH3CH2OCH2CH3
Ethoxyethane (commonly called diethyl ether) was once the ether most widely used as an anesthetic in surgery.
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing the carbonyl group bonded to at least one hydrogen.
Aldehydes are named with the suffix al instead of the usual hydrocarbon ending.
The aldehyde carbon is always assigned as number one for referencing substituent positions in the name. Therefore, numbering is not necessary.
The name of the parent chain includes the carbon in the aldehyde.
ethanal CH3CHO
butanal CH3CH2CH2CHO
A ketone is an organic compound containing the carbonyl group.
Ketones are named with the final e being replaced by one and a number indicates the position of the carbonyl group where necessary.
The name of the parent chain includes the carbon in the ketone.
propanone CH3COCH3
2-pentanone CH3COCH2CH2CH3
A carboxylic acid is an organic compound containing the carboxyl group.
Carboxylic acids are named by changing the suffix of the parent hydrocarbon to oic acid.
The carbons are numbered so the carbon in the carboxyl group is the number one carbon.
