Func)onal Group
• Func%onal group -‐ collec)on of atoms at a site that have a characteris)c behavior in all molecules where it occurs
• The group reacts in a typical way, generally independent of the rest of the molecule
• For example, the double bonds in simple and complex alkenes react with bromine in the same way
Family and Func)onali)es in Organic Molecules
Hydrocarbon Family
• Alkane • Alkene • Alkyne • Arene
Heteroatom-‐ Subs)tuted
Hydrocarbon Family
• Haloalkane or alkyl halide
• Alcohol • Ether • Amine • Nitrile • Nitro • Sulfide • Sulfoxide • Sulfone • Thiol
Carbonyl Family
• Aldehyde • Ketone • Carboxylic Acid • Acid chloride • Anhydride • Ester • Lactone • Amide • Lactame
Alkanes, R-‐H
• Alkanes: Compounds with C-‐C single bonds and C-‐H bonds only (no func)onal groups), non-‐polar molecule
• Easy to rotate around C-‐C single bonds • Connec)ng carbons can lead to large or small molecules
• The formula for an alkane with no rings in it must be CnH2n+2 where the number of C’s is n
• Alkanes are saturated with hydrogen (no more can be added
• They are also called alipha%c compounds
Alkanes
C4H10 can be arranged in two ways:
C5H12 can be arranged in three ways:
These are cons)tu)onal isomers: the same molecular formula but the atoms are linked differently.
Alkanes
C6H14 can be arranged in five ways:
Cons)tu)onal Isomers (Structural Isomers)
Chain
• Different carbon chains
• Hexane and 2-‐Methylpentane
Posi)onal
• Different posi)ons • 2-‐Methylpentane 3-‐Methylpentane
• 1-‐Butanol and 2-‐Butanol
Func)onal Group
• Different Func)onality
• Ethanol and dimethyl ether
Alkanes, R-‐H
• Alkanes with C’s connected to no more than 2 other C’s are straight-‐chain or normal alkanes
• Alkanes with one or more C’s connected to 3 or 4 C’s are branched-‐chain alkanes
• Butane and pentane are straight-‐chain alkanes • Isobutane, isopentane, and 2,2-‐dimethylpropane are branched-‐chain alkanes
Classifica)on of Carbons in a Molecule
A primary carbon is bonded to one carbon.
A secondary carbon is bonded to two carbons.
A ter)ary carbon is bonded to three carbons.
Primary hydrogens are a^ached to primary carbons.
Secondary hydrogens are a^ached to secondary carbons.
Ter)ary hydrogens are a^ached to ter)ary carbons.
• We can represent an alkane in a brief form or in many types of extended form
• A condensed structure does not show bonds but lists atoms, such as – CH3CH2CH2CH3 (butane) – CH3(CH2)2CH3 (butane)

Condensed and Line Structures

Cycloalkanes, CnH2n
Bond Angles in Planar Cyclic Alkanes
• Also called an olefin but alkene is be^er • Hydrocarbon that contains a C-‐C double bond, CnH2n formula
• Unsaturated hydrocarbon, non-‐polar molecule
• No rota)on around C-‐C double bond, planar molecule • Includes many naturally occurring materials
– Flavors, fragrances, vitamins
Alkenes -‐ Hydrocarbon With Carbon-‐Carbon Double Bond
Classifica)on of Alkenes
• Ethene is the simplest alkene
• Subs)tu)ng one of the hydrogen from ethene by an alkyl group leads to monosubs)tuted alkene
• Disubs)tuted alkenes can be classified as

Cycloheptene Cyclooctene 1,4,5-Triethylcyclohex-1-ene
Molecules with More than one Double Bond
• If molecule has two double bonds, called diene
• If molecule has three double bonds, called triene
• Four double bonds called tetraene, and so on
Types of Dienes
• Diene can be classified as conjugated
• If they are separated by only one single bond they are conjugated and their orbitals interact
• The conjugated diene 1,3-‐butadiene has proper)es that are very different from those of the nonconjugated diene (isolated diene), 1,4-‐pentadiene.
