Funtional Groups Flashcards
Alkanes
Hydrocarbons
- single bond
MethANE
Alkenes
Hydrocarbons with DOUBLE bond
-MUFA’s and PUFA’s
Alkynes
Hydrocarbons with TRIPLE bond
-tree frog poison
Aromatics
Benzine derivatives
Hydrocarbon closed rings with alternating double bonds
Alcohols
Tetrahedral carbon with at least one hydroxyl group (-OH) and nothing else
Aldehydes
Presence of formal group (CH=O)
Ketones
Carbonyl group (one carbon double bonded to an oxygen and two Carbon atoms)
Carboxylates/carboxylic acids
Characterized by a deprotonated carboxylic acid group (COOH)
Ether
Oxygen group
Oxygen bonded to two carbon atoms
O
/ \
Ether
Oxygen group
Common in scents and flavorings
Carbon double bonded to an oxygen, single bonded to another oxygen and that single bonded oxygen attaches to another carbon.
So two oxygens and three carbon molecules
Amine
Nitrogen group
nitrogen bound to one or more carbons
Nicotine
Amide
Nitrogen bound to carbonyl group
Thiol
Surfer group
Presence of -SH group
Main components of skunk smell
Additional silver groups
Disulfide and thioester
carbonyl group
a carbon double bonded with an oxygen and two other R groups
