Chapter 11- Compounds Flashcards
Functional groups
A set of atoms bonded together in a specific way
Carbonyl group
General formula: C=O
Polar compound
Derivatives of NH3
Formula: NR3
Only 2 of the R group may be hydrogen
All have a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen
Amines
Formula: ROH
OH group is highly polar & forms hydrogen bonds w/ other polar molecules
Due to polar structure, dissolve many other polar molecules
Alcohols
Similar to alcohol: ROH
R is aryl group (benzene)
Simple ones are polar due to hydroxyl group
Complex ones are not water soluble (propofol)
Phenols
Formula: ROR’
Inert; do not react with oxidizing or reducing agents
Highly inflammable
Ether
Formula: C=O
Polar compound
Carbonyl
Formula: RCHO
Aldehydes
Formula: RCOR’
Ketones
Formula: RCOOH
Carboxylic acid
Formula: RCOOR
Esters
RCONH2, RCONHR, or RCONR2
Amides
What is the beta lactamase enzyme?
Resistance formed by bacteria to beta lactam ring
What does beta lactam ring in penicillin G do?
Normally causes damage to cell wall of bacteria
What is a beta lactamase inhibitor?
Clavulanic acid
Makes beta lactamase enzyme ineffective so can kill bacteria
