Carbon ChemistryBonding

Strong covalent bonding to itself and to other non-metal elements

Capable of forming extremely long carbon-carbon chains

Multiple arrangements of

identical molecular formulas

lead to numerous isomers.

Hydrocarbons Alkanes are defined as saturated

compounds. All singles bond to carbon Cannot add more hydrogen atoms

Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated compounds. Alkenes have double bonds and H atoms

can be added to the double bond to create a saturated compound.

Alkynes have triple bonds and H atoms can be added to create a saturated compound.

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Hydrocarbon NomenclatureRules for naming alkanes

Established by IUPAC

1. Name ends in “-ane”2. Complete name uses that of parent compound with constituent groups added.

3. Parent is longest continuous carbon chain.

4. Name of longest chain based on the number of carbons.

5. Carbon atoms are numbered starting at the end that gives the lowest number for the

first branch.20

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Straight Chained Alkanes

21

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alkyl GroupsAlkane type groups added to parent chain are known as alkyl groups. Consist of alkane, minus one H atom. Name always ends in –yl

Example

CH4 : now remove one H which yields –CH3

Naming of –CH3

Start with parent name, which is methane

Drop –ane and add –yl So methane becomes methyl group

22

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alkyl Groups CH3CH2CH3 yields –CH2CH2CH3 when one H

atom is removed from the end carbon. The name of the aryl group is propyl. Note, you can have another isomer of propyl.

The other isomer’s aryl group is 1-methylethyl, or isopropyl, and is created when the H atom is removed from the non-terminal carbon.

23

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Nomenclature6. Aryl groups names are prefixed to parent name.

7. Multiple aryl groups on a parent are numbered and named alphabetically.

8. When there are multiple identical groups add di, tri, tetra to the aryl name.

9. If multiple, identical aryl groups are attached to the same carbon repeat the carbon number.

24

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

shown?

1. The longest carbon chain (parent) is four. Parent name is butane.

2. Start numbering from the left to get the smallest number for the attached group.

26

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Examples The parent chain contains five carbons. Thus, the parent name is pentane. Number from the left to obtain the smallest

The alkyl groups are at the 2 and 3 positions. The 2 and 3 positions each contain a methyl

group.27

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Non-polar compounds are not water soluble

Examples:

34

Ethene or ethylene Ethyne or acetylene

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alkenes and Alkynes Nomenclature

The parent chain must contain the multiple bond even if it is a smaller chain length than one without a multiple bond

Number from end that gives the lowest number to the first carbon of the multiple bond

The number is given as -x- and placed just before the –ene or –yne of the parent name.

35

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alkene Examples

Start numbering from the left to get the lowest number for the first carbon with the double bond

36

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alkene Example

CH2CH2 + H2 CH3CH3 hydrogenation

CH2CH2 + HCl → CH3CH2Cl

CH2CH2 + H2O → CH3CH2OH

45

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Aromatic Hydrocarbons The most common aromatic compound is

benzene and its derivatives Representation of bonding

Delocalized π bonds create unique stability, called resonance stabilization. The circle in the ring represents delocalization.

46

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

resonance structure. Addition reactions, like those of alkenes,

destroy resonance structure

47

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Organic Compounds Containing OxygenImportant functional groups:

51

Alcohol Ether Aldehyde

Ketone Carboxylic acid Ester

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alcohols and Ethers Common alcohols: names end in –ol

CH3OH methanol

CH3CH2OH ethanol

CH3CH2CH2OH propan-1-ol If the –OH group was attached to the central

carbon then the alcohol would be propan-2-ol

Alcohols form hydrogen bonds, causing their boiling points to be higher than predicted.

52

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alcohols and Ethers Primary alcohols:

Secondary alcohols:

Tertiary alcohols:

53

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Alcohols and Ethers Common ethers:

CH3OCH3 dimethyl ether

CH3CH2OCH2CH3 diethyl ether

CH3OCH2CH3 methyl ethyl ether

No hydrogen bonding occurs, thus, boiling points are lower than corresponding alcohols

Like alkanes, ethers are not very reactive

54

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Reactions of Alcohols Alcohols can undergo oxidation to form a

variety of products. Oxidation removes an H atom from the alcoholic carbon as well as the H on the –OH group.

Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes and carboxylic acids

55

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Reactions of Alcohols Aldehydes are more readily oxidized than

alcohols

Secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones

56

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Reactions of Alcohols Ketones are not further oxidized Tertiary alcohols have no H atom on the

alcoholic carbon and thus, do not undergo oxidation

Alcohols undergo elimination reactions in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 forming water and alkenes

–OH group readily accepts a proton from sulfuric acid

57

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Elimination Reaction Dehydration of an alcohol

During the reaction a very unstable carbocation is formed. This ion eliminates a proton to form the alkene.

58

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Substitution Reactions of Alcohols Using heat and concentrated HBr, HI, or

HCl, a halogen will replace the –OH group

A proton adds to the –OH forming –OH2+

Water leaves and the halogen ion attaches to the carbon site where the –OH was attached

Jespersen/Brady/Hyslop Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, 6E

Aldehydes and Ketones

60

aldehyde?

62

4-ethylhexanal

shown

below?

PolypeptidesCombining two amino acids forms a dipeptide

Often the amino acids are abbreviated Glycine – Gly Alanine – Ala

A dipeptide of these would then be shown as: Gly-Ala

A few amino acids can be arranged in a very large number of orders leading to many different proteins Gly-Ala-Arg Gly-Arg-Ala Ala-Gly-Arg Plus three more

Polypeptides and Proteins How many ways can you arrange n

different objects? n ! Therefore 3 amino acids have 6

arrangements

You can also use the same amino acid more than once in a polypeptide

Proteins Consist of polypeptides and usually small

organic molecules They may also incorporate metal ions into

their structure

Basic Nucleic Acid Structure

Where G is a placeholder for a unique nucleic acid side chain

The sugars are ribose for RNA and deoxyribose for DNA

The groups, G, are: adenine (A), thymine (T), uracil (U), guanine

(G), and cytosine(C)

DNA - Double Helix Structure A unique arrangement of amino acids

maximized hydrogen bonding resulting in a pairing of strands to form a double helix Base Pairing A only with T

C only with G

Polypetide Synthesis Controlled formation of peptide bonds to make

a polypeptide Repeated many times to form polypeptides and

proteins Genetic information is transcribed from DNA in

the nucleus onto RNA (m RNA) This messenger RNA moves outside the

nucleus and through a complex process, using other RNA types, synthesizes a specific protein

The order of amino acid synthesis is coded so that the correct amino acids are made available in the proper sequence
