Draw a Carboxylic Ester (Ester)
Carboxylic ester (ester): A derivative of a carboxylic acid in which H of the carboxyl group is replaced by a carbon
Suffix: -oate
Draw a Carboxylic Acid
Carboxylic acid: A compound containing a carboxyl group -COOH
Suffix: -oic acid
Identify the common name:
Draw an aldehyde
Aldehyde: a compound containing a -CH=O group
Suffix: -al
Draw an alcohol
Alcohol: A compound containing an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom
Suffix: -ol
Identify
Acetic acid
Draw a secondary amine
Amine: a compound containing a nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three carbon atoms by single bonds.
Secondary amine: An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to two carbons and one hydrogens
Suffix: -amine
Identify
Norbornane
Draw a primary amine
Amine: a compound containing a nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three carbon atoms by single bonds.
Primary amine: An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to one carbon and two hydrogens
Suffix: -amine
A reference note about functional groups
- HX is a hydrogen halide (F, Cl, Br, I) and RX is an alkyl halide.
- HOH is water. Replace one H to get ROH, the alcohols, replace both H’s to get ROR’ the ethers (the R’s may or may not be the same).
- NH3 is ammonia. Replace one H; RNH2 is a primary amine. Replace two H’s; RNHR’ is a secondary amine. Replace all three H’s; RN(R’)R” is a tertiary amine. Note R’s can be the same or different.
Draw a ketone
Ketone: A compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbons
Suffix: -one
Draw a tertiary amine
Amine: a compound containing a nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three carbon atoms by single bonds.
Tertiary amine: An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to three carbons and no hydrogens
Suffix: -amine
