Aromatic Compounds
R-O-H
Alcohols
Ar-O-H
Phenols
has a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to
an sp3 hybridized C in aliphatic group
alcohols
has a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to
an sp2 hybridized C in aromatic group
Phenols
a fuel additive, an industrial solvent, and a beverage
Ethanol
a general disinfectant, commonly called carbolic acid
Phenol
Properties of alcohols and phenols
- derivatives of water in which one hydrogen is replaced by organic components
- same geometry as water
- higher boiling points than alkanes
- both weakly basic and acidic
reversibly protonated by strong acids to yield oxonium ions
as weak Lewis bases
Protonate water in dilute aqueous solutions to yield H3O and alkoxide ion and phenoxide ion
as weak acids
compounds containing an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms
ethers
the familiar “ether” of medical use; frequently used as a reaction solvent; was once popular as an inhaled anesthetic
Diethyl ether
R-O-R’
Ethers
have lower boiling points than alcohols and phenols
Ethers
alkoxyalkanes
Ethers
cyclic ethers with a 3-membered ring
Epoxides
sulfur analog of alcohols
Thiols
Sulfhydryl/mercapto/thiol (-SH) group bonded to a hydrocarbon chain
Thiols
due 3-methylbutane-1-thiol and but-2-ene-1-thiol
skunce scent
part of proteins and enzymes
cysteine residues
Sulfur analog of ethers
Thioethers/sulfides
Derivatives of ammonia (NH3) in which one or more hydrogens are replaced by alkyr or aryl groups
Amines
starting materials for preparation
of insecticides and pharmaceuticals
Amines
Characteristic odors of amines
Trimethylamine and Diamines
Fish-like aroma
Trimethylamine
putrid
Diamines
contribute to the flavors and aromas of many foods and assisting in the biological
functions of many enzymes
Aldehydes and Ketones are
a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a H atom (terminal carbonyl group)
Aldehydes
a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to 2 C atoms (nonterminal carbonyl
group)
Ketones
an aldehyde; is a coenzyme involved in a large number of metabolic reactions (e.., transamination)
Pyridoxal Phosphate (PLP)
A steroid hormone w/ ketone group; secreted by adrenal glands to regulate fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism
Cortisol (Hydrocortisone)
produced for use in building insulation materials and in the adhesive resins that bind particle board and plywood
Formaldehyde (H2C=O)
Widely used as an industrial solvent
Acetone [(CH3)2C=O}
suffix of aliphatic aldehydes
-al
suffix for alicyclic aldehydes
