ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Flashcards
types of hydrocarbons
- saturated
- unsaturated
saturated hydrocarbon
alkane
unsaturated hydrocarbon
- alkene
- alkyne
iupac nomenclature
prefix+word root+primary suffix+scondary suffix
word root+primary suffix is must
word root
longest continous chain of carbon atoms
1. meth
1. eth
1. prop
1. but
1. pent
1. hex
primary suffix
if single bond b/w carbon atoms
* -ane
if double bond b/w carbon atoms
* -ene
if triple bond b/w carbon atoms
* -yne
secondary suffix=
functional group
functional group for alcohol
-OH (hydroxyl)
* suffix = ol
functional group for carboxylic acid
(double bond O attatched to C)
-C-OH [carboxyl]
* suffix = oic acid
functional group for ester
(double bond O atached to C)
-C-O- [ester]
* suffix = oate
prefix
- fluoro (-F)
- chloro (-Cl)
- bromo (-Br)
- iodo (-I)
- nitro (-NO2)
- alkyl group (-R)
successive members of homologous series differ by __ group
CH2
alkane genral rule
CnH2n+2
alkyl group
alkane-1 hydrogen
CH2n+1
alkyne general rule
CnH2n-2
when is prefix not attatched
when all carbon atoms are present in the longest chain
reacts - alkanes
- combustion
- substitution
condition needed for alkanes to react
UV light/sunlight/heat
- unreactive in normal conditions
known as photochemical reaction
3 substitution reactions to be studied
- chlorination
- bromination
- iodination
what happens in substitution reaction
H gets substituted for Cl/Br/I
ex. CH4+Cl2→CH3Cl+HCl
CH3Cl = chloromethane
alkene general rule
CnH2n
how alkene named
word root - position of double bond - ene
types of addition reaction in alkene
- hydrogenation (addition of H2)
- hydration (addition of H2O)
hydrogenation
alkene+H2→alkane
unsaturated oil + H2→saturated oil
Ni as catalyst, @ 150 degrees C
