Functional groups Flashcards
functional groups of carboxylic acids
C=O
C-OH
functional groups of aldehydes
C=O
-has hydrogen attached to C=O as well as an alkyl group on the other side of the functional group.
R-(C=O)-H
functional groups of acid chlorides
C=O
C-Cl
functional groups of esters
C=O
C-O
functional groups of ketones
C=O
-has hydrocarbons (e.g. alkyl groups) attached to either side of the C=O.
R-(C=O)-R
functional groups of amines
C-NH2
functional groups of amides
C=O
C-NH2
How are esters made
Reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohols
how are aldehydes made
Oxidation reaction of primary alcohols. Made as an intermediary with further oxidation leading form carboxylic acids
how are ketones made
Oxidation reaction of secondary alcohols
how are acid chlorides made
OH group from carboxylic acid is substituted with Cl
how are amides made
OH group from carboxylic acid is substituted with NH2
what is a carbonyl group
C=O
