““Organic” ChemistryOrganic” Chemistry• Historically, organic compounds are defined
as compounds extracted or isolated from plants and animals.– VITALISM: Scientists believed that
organic compounds contained a vital force that was only found in living systems
• Disproved by Friederich Wohler in 1828 by synthesizing urea using inorganic materials (silver cyanate and ammonium chloride)
AgOCN + NH4Cl CNH2 NH2

Organic ChemistryOrganic Chemistry• Study of carbon compounds
– Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and the halogens
• More than 95% of known compounds are organic compounds (Carbon-containing)
• Recall– Carbons can have 4 bonds– Nitrogen can have 3 bonds– Oxygen can have 2 bonds– Hydrogen can have 1 bond
The Secret to Organic The Secret to Organic Compounds: the unique Compounds: the unique
carbon atomcarbon atom• CATENATION
– Ability of C-atoms to bond to each other so strongly, they can form long chains. Eg. Thousands of C-atoms bonded.
– Each carbon can have four bonds, maximum
Common organic compound Common organic compound families families
• HYDROCARBONS: Only C and H– Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes,
aromatic compounds• OXYGEN-CONTAINING
– Alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, acid anhydrides
• NITROGEN-CONTAINING– Amines, Amides

stratosphere and react with the ozone layer
• "...I was sitting writing on my textbook, but the work did not progress; my thoughts were elsewhere. I turned my chair to the fire and dozed. Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformation; long rows sometimes more closely fitted together all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke; and this time also I spent the rest of the night in working out the consequences of the hypothesis."
• "I fell into a reverie, and lo, the atoms were gamboling before my eyes! Whenever, hitherto, these diminutive beings had appeared to me, they had always been in motion; but up to that time, I had never been able to discern the nature of their motion. Now, however, I saw how, frequently, two smaller atoms united to form a pair; how a larger one embraced the two smaller ones; how still larger ones kept hold of three or even four of the smaller; whilst the whole kept whirling in a giddy dance. I saw how the larger ones formed a chain, dragging the smaller ones after them, but only at the ends of the chain. . . The cry of the conductor: “Clapham Road,” awakened me from my dreaming; but I spent part of the night in putting on paper at least sketches of these dream forms. This was the origin of the Structural Theory."
Functional GroupsFunctional Groups• Determines the properties of the
organic compound– Compounds with the same
functional group will react similarly• Alkenes: –C=C– bond• Alkynes: –C≡C– bond• Aromatic hydrocarbons: cyclic
structure with alternating –C–C– and –C=C– bonds
AlcoholsAlcohols• has the general structure R–OH
– derived from hydrocarbons and contain -OH groups
• Polar molecules and are soluble in water (Why?)
Some Common AlcoholsSome Common Alcohols• CH3OH (methanol)
– Used as an industrial solvent– Possible replacement for gasoline in
automobiles• CH3CH2OH (ethanol)
– Made from fermentation of grain or other sugar materials
– Made by reaction of ethylene with water (denatured alcohol)
– Used for beverages and fuels
Some Common AlcoholsSome Common Alcohols• Isopropyl Alcohol
– Also known as rubbing alcohol– Used as a disinfectant
• Ethylene glycol– Also known as antifreeze– Has multiple –OH groups
