Organic Compounds CH 11 Flashcards
Organic compounds are compounds that contain
Carbon
What is the backbone of organic compounds
Carbon backbone and one or more functional groups
Hydrocarbon functional groups consist of
Carbon and Hydrogen
What functional groups fall under Hydrocarbons
Alkanes, Alkyl, Alkene, Alkyne, Arenes (Aromatics)
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain
Carbon single bonds
Alkyl are hydrocarbons that contain
Alkanes minus one hydrogen atom
Alkyls are considered
Stick on groups that are appended to larger organic molecules
Alkene are hydrocarbons that contain
Carbon-carbon double bond
Alkyne are hydrocarbons that contain
Carbon-carbon triple bonds
Aromatics are hydrocarbons that contain
Benzene ring
Can also have a stick on “R” that makes it a phenyl
Alcohol can attach as OH and it is called a phenol
What functional groups are derived from water
Alcohols and ethers
Alcohol contains
A hydroxyl (OH) group represented as R-OH
Ethers contain
Oxygen bonded to two alkyl groups.
Represented as R-O-R’
Alkyl Halide are organohalogens that contain
Halogen (F, Cl, Br, or I) represented as X and an alkyl halide represented as R-X
Many inhaled anesthetics reagents are
Alkyl halides that often contain ether functional groups
Amines are derived from
Ammonia
Amines contain
One or more hydrogens on ammonia have been replaced by alkyl groups
RNH2, R2NH, R3N (any combo)
Carbonyl group contains
carbon double bonded to an oxygen
Carbonyl group includes
Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides
Aldehydes contain
Hydrogen atom bonded to a carbonyl group
R-C=O-H
Ketones contain
Two alkyl groups bonded to a carbonyl group
R2-C=O
Carboxylic acids contain
Hydroxyl group bonded to a carbonyl group
R(C=O)OH
Sometimes written as RCO2H or RCOOH
Esters contain
An alkoxy (OR) group bonded to a carbonyl group
R(C=O)OR’
Sometimes written as RCO2R’ or RCOOR’
Amides contain
Nitrogen atom bonded to a carbonyl group
R(C=O)NR2
R group on Nitrogen may be either an alkyl group or hydrogens
