2 Organic Compounds Chemists in the early 19th century knew living things produced a variety of carbon compounds, called organic compounds. They were not able to synthesize them in the lab and labeled them as mysterious. Wöhlerwas the first to produce an organic compound in the lab. Organic Compounds (cont.) Organic compound is applied to all carboncontaining compounds with the primary exceptions of carbon oxides, carbides, and carbonates, which are considered inorganic. In organic compounds, carbon nearly always shares its electrons and forms four covalent bonds. Organic Compounds (cont.) Carbon atoms are bonded to hydrogen atoms or other elements near carbon on the periodic table. Carbon atoms also bond to other carbon atoms and form long chains. Hydrocarbons The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons, which consist of only the elements carbon and hydrogen. There are thousands of hydrocarbons. 2

3 Hydrocarbons (cont.) Carbon atoms bond to each other by single, double, and triple bonds. Saturated hydrocarbonscontain only single bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbonscontain at least one double or triple bond. Refining Hydrocarbons Many hydrocarbons are obtained from the fossil fuel petroleum. Petroleum, crude oil, is a complex mixture containing more than a thousand different compounds. In its raw form it is not very useful to humans, it is more useful when separated into simpler components or fractions. Refining Hydrocarbons (cont.) Fractional distillationinvolves boiling petroleum and collecting each group of components as they condense at different temperatures. Refining Hydrocarbons (cont.) Fractional distillation towers do not yield fractions in proportion to demand. Heavier fractions are converted to gasoline or other lighter fractions by a process called cracking. cracking is done in the absence of oxygen and in the presence of a catalyst. In addition to converting heavier fractions to gasoline, cracking also produces starting materials for the synthesis of many different products including plastics, films and synthetic fibers. 3

Gasoline is modified by adjusting its composition to improve performance, resulting in the octane rating system. Petroleum is separated into usable parts by boiling and condensing each component in a process called. A. cracking B. fractional distillation C. saturation D. bonding 21.1 Section Check What is a hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds called? A. unsaturated B. organic C. saturated D. fully bonded Name alkanes by examining their structures. Drawthe structure of an alkane when given its name. Describe the properties of alkanes. IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry):an international group that aids communication between chemists by setting rules and standards in areas such as chemical nomenclature, terminology, and standardized methods 4

5 alkane homologous series parent chain substituent group cyclic hydrocarbon cycloalkane Straight-Chain Alkanes Alkanesare hydrocarbons that have only single bonds between atoms. Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds. Straight-Chain Alkanes (cont.) The names of alkanes end in ane. Prefixes are derived from Greek numbers. A series of compounds that differ from one another by a repeating unit is called a homologous series. For alkanes, the relationship between the numbers of carbon and hydrogen atoms can be expressed as: C n H 2n + 2 5

6 Branched-Chain Alkanes Carbon atoms can bond to one, two, three, or four other carbon atoms making a variety of chains possible. Branched-Chain Alkanes (cont.) Straight chains and branched chains can have the same molecular formula. Order and arrangement of atoms in organic compounds determine their identities. When naming branched chain alkanes, the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms is called the parent chain. All the side branches are known as substituent groups. Branched-Chain Alkanes (cont.) Naming branched-chain alkanes Count the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain. Number each carbon in the parent chain, starting with the carbon closest to the substituent group. This gives all the substituent groups the lowest position numbers possible. Name each alkyl group substituent. If the same alkyl group appears more than once as a branch on the parent structure, use a prefix to indicate how many times it appears. 6

7 Branched-Chain Alkanes (cont.) Naming branched-chain alkanes When different alkyl groups are attached to the same parent chain, place their names in alphabetical order. Write the entire name, using hyphens to separate numbers from words and commas to separate numbers. Cycloalkanes An organic compound that contains a hydrocarbon ring is called a cyclic hydrocarbon. Cyclic hydrocarbons with only single bonds are called cycloalkanes. The relationship between numbers of carbon and hydrogen atoms in cycloalkanes can be expressed as: C n H 2n Cycloalkanes (cont.) Naming substituted cycloalkanes is the same as straight-chains but with a few exceptions. The ring is always considered the parent chain. Numbering starts on the carbon that is bonded to the substituent. When more than one carbon has a substituent, number in the direction that gives the lowest possible numbers for the substituents. Properties of Alkanes Structure affects molecular properties. Alkanes are not polar and are good solvents for other nonpolar molecules. 7

8 Properties of Alkanes (cont.) Physical properties of alkanes Compared to water, methane boils and melts at lower temperatures. Methane molecules have little intermolecular attraction compared to water. (Methane molecules are nonpolar and do not form hydrogen bonds). Properties of Alkanes (cont.) Chemical properties of alkanes Alkanes have low reactivity because they are nonpolar and have no charge, and because they have strong single bonds between carbon atoms Section Check What is a cyclic alkane with no substituents groups and 6 carbon atoms? A. heptane B. cycloheptane C. cyclohexane D. cyclobutane 21.2 Section Check Alkanes contain how many double bonds? A. greater than 2 B. 2 C. 1 D. 0 8

9 21.3 Alkenes and Alkynes 21.3 Alkenes and Alkynes Comparethe properties of alkenes and alkynes with those of alkanes. Describethe molecular structures of alkenes and alkynes. Namean alkene or alkyne by examining its structure. Drawthe structure of an alkene or alkyne by analyzing its name. hormone:chemical produced in one part of an organism and transported to another part, where it causes a physiological change alkene alkyne Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one double bond, and alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one triple bond Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes Unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one or more double covalent bonds between carbon atoms are called alkenes Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes (cont.) Alkenes are named in much the same way as alkanes. Alkenes end in ene. When four or more carbon atoms are present, specify the location of the double bond. Note: Structure 3 is not 3-Butene because it is identical to structure 1. 9

10 21.3 Alkenes and Alkynes 21.3 Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes (cont.) When naming branched-chain alkenes, follow the same rules as for alkanes, with two exceptions. The parent chain is always the longest chain that contains double bond, whether it is the longest chain or not. The position of the double bond, not the branches, determine the numbering. Use a prefix to designate the number of double bonds. Alkenes (cont.) Alkenes are nonpolar and have low solubility in water. Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes because the double bond increases electron density between the two carbon atoms, providing a good site for chemical reactivity Alkenes and Alkynes Alkynes Unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain one or more triple bonds between carbon atoms are called alkynes Alkenes and Alkynes Alkynes (cont.) Straight-chain and branched-chain alkynes are named in the same way as alkenes, except the ending is yne. 10

11 21.3 Alkenes and Alkynes 21.3 Section Check Alkynes (cont.) Alkynes have physical and chemical properties similar to alkenes but are generally more reactive because the triple bonds cause even larger electron densities than double bonds. Which of the following is generally the most reactive? A. cycloalkanes B. alkanes C. alkenes D. alkynes 21.3 Section Check What is the name of a straight-chain hydrocarbon with six carbon atoms and a triple bond between the second and third carbon atoms? A. 2-hexene B. 3-hexene C. 2-hexyne D. 3-hexyne Distinguish between the two main categories of isomers structural isomers and stereoisomers. Differentiatebetween geometric isomers with cis-and transprefixes. Describethe structural variation in molecules that results in optical isomers. electromagnetic radiation:transverse waves that carry energy through empty space 11

12 isomer structural isomer stereoisomer geometric isomer chirality asymmetric carbon optical isomer optical rotation Structural Isomers Isomersare two or more compounds that have the same molecular formula but different molecular structures. Structural isomershave the same chemical formula but their atoms are bonded in different arrangements. Some hydrocarbons have the same molecular formula but have different molecular structures. Structural Isomers (cont.) There are two main classes of isomers: structural isomers and stereoisomers. Structural isomers have different physical and chemical properties. The structure of a substance determines properties. Stereoisomers Stereoisomersare isomers in which all atoms are bonded in the same order but are arranged differently in space. 12

13 Stereoisomers (cont.) Stereoisomers (cont.) Geometric isomersresult from different arrangements of groups around a double bond. Cismeans on the same side, and transmeans across from. Geometric isomers have different physical and chemical properties. Chirality Louis Pasteur discovered two forms of crystallized tartaric acid. The forms were mirror images of each other called right and left-handed forms. The property in which a molecule exists in right and left-handed forms is called chirality. Optical Isomers Chirality occurs whenever a compound contains an asymmetric carbon. Asymmetric carbonis a carbon atom that has four different atoms or groups attached to it. The four groups can be arranged in two different ways. 13

14 Optical Isomers (cont.) Isomers that result from different arrangements of four different groups around a carbon atom represent the other class of stereoisomers, called optical isomers. Optical isomers have the same physical and chemical properties except in chemical reactions where chirality is important. Optical Isomers (cont.) When polarized light passes through a solution containing an optical isomer, the plane of polarization is rotated to the right by the d- isomer and to the left by the l-isomer, producing and effect called optical rotation. Optical Isomers (cont.) 21.4 Section Check What are two molecules with the same formula but different structures called? A. isotopes B. chiral C. isomers D. asymmetric 14

Explainwhat a carcinogen is, and list some examples. hybrid orbitals: equivalent atomic orbitals that form during bonding by the rearrangement of valence electrons aromatic compound aliphatic compound Aromatic hydrocarbons are unusually stable compounds with ring structures in which electrons are shared by many atoms Aromatic Hydrocarbons 21.5 Aromatic Hydrocarbons The Structure of Benzene Even by the middle of the 19th century, hydrocarbon ring structures remained unknown. Michael Faraday first isolated benzene in Chemists knew the formula was C 6 H 6 and proposed several possible models which would have all be very reactive, but benzene is unusually stable. The Structure of Benzene (cont.) German chemist FriederichKekuléclaimed to have had a dream in which he realized the flat, hexagonal shape ring structure for benzene. Kekulé sstructure explained some of benzene's properties, but not its lack of reactivity. 15

16 21.5 Aromatic Hydrocarbons 21.5 Aromatic Hydrocarbons The Structure of Benzene (cont.) Linus Pauling s hybrid orbital theory explained benzene s lack of reactivity. The double bonds in benzene are not fixed, but rather the electrons are delocalized and shared among all six carbon atoms. Aromatic Compounds Organic compounds that contain benzene rings as part of their structure are called aromatic compounds. Aromatic was originally used because many benzene related compounds were found in pleasant smelling oils that came from plants and plant parts Aromatic Hydrocarbons 21.5 Aromatic Hydrocarbons Aromatic Compounds (cont.) Aliphatic compoundsare the alkane, alkene, and alkyne hydrocarbons, coming from the Greek word for fatbecause they were obtained by heating animal fat. Aromatic Compounds (cont.) Substituted benzene compounds are named in the same way as cyclic alkanes. 16
