Page III-20-1 / hapter Twenty Lecture Notes arbon: Not Just Another Element hapter 20: The rganic hemistry chapter! hemistry 222 Professor Michael Russell rganic hemistry Vast majority of over 20 million known compounds are based on : organic compounds. Generally contain, + other elements Great variety of compounds Two Major oncepts NMENLATURE - Naming the molecules correctly and knowing the general classes of organic compounds REATIVITY - Studying patterns of reactivity within classes of compounds We will focus primarily on nomenclature but also show examples of reactivity Nomenclature Need to know Alkyl Groups - methyl = 3 ethyl = 3 2 propyl = 3 2 2 butyl = 3 2 2 2 Also pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, etc. R is "generic" alkyl group Alkyl groups may be combined with other elements or alkyl groups to give classes of compounds See the rganic hemistry Nomenclature Guide ALKANES Generic Alkane Representation: R- Generic Alkane Formula: n 2n+2 -yl +ane ALKANES Generic Alkane Representation: R- Generic Alkane Formula: n 2n+2 -yl +ane Ex: methane = 4 (methyl group + ) 3 - Ex: ethane = 3 3 (ethyl group + ) 3 2 - Page III-20-1 / hapter Twenty Lecture Notes

Name using "longest chain" alkane preceded by numbered alkyl groups 2,2-dimethylpropane 3-methylbutane would be incorrect - use smallest number possible Isomers of exane ow to Name a ompound Number of isomers grows as number of carbons increases Page III-20-2 / hapter Twenty Lecture Notes 1. Find the longest chain in the molecule. 2. Number the chain from the end nearest the first substituent encountered. 3. List the substituents as a prefix along with the number(s) of the carbon(s) to which they are attached.
Page III-20-3 / hapter Twenty Lecture Notes ow to Name a ompound If there is more than one type of substituent in the molecule, list them alphabetically.

Differing reactivity in cis and trans isomers ALKENES - cis and trans is - trans isomerism occurs because the electronic structure of the carbon carbon double bond makes rotation energetically unfavorable.
