Some Uses Of Organic Compounds Flashcards
The simplest keen, it is the compound responsible for ripening of fruits.
Ethene or ethylene
Use us a precursor for industrial preparation of bigger molecules
Propene or propylene
Simple place alkyne, use in welding. It is used in weldong, including the ripening of fruits . With this, carbide, it’s only that releases acetylene when exposed to moisture, can be used to hasten ripening.
Ethyne or acetylene
And exposed to moisture, can be used ripening.
Acetylene
Liquid aromatic compounds. Due to their lower activity in many condition, they are used as solvent for organic compounds that are nonpolar..
Benzene and toluene
Solid compound used in moth balls, which are used at home to insects that thrive in clothes.
Naphthalene
An alcohol that is found in alcoholic beverages. It is also used as a disinfectant and adjective to gasoline and other fuels.
Ethanol
Can be found in coal tar, a black, gooey material. It is used in making antiseptic and adhesive.
Phenol
Another example of phenol. It is a liquid that makes the oil of wintergreen minty. Oil of winter green is added in ball and liniment to remedy itch and body pain
Methyl salicylate
Considered non-reactive compound under mild conditions, making them suitable a solvent for organic compound.
Ethers
Used as an anesthesia in performing surgical operations, but was later on replace with other compounds due to its flammability.
Diethyl Ether
Simplest aldehyde. And aqueous solution of formaldehyde, called formalin. Use in preserving specimens for animals.
Methanal or formaldehyde
Use in preserving specimens for animals.
Formalin
Simplest ketone. It can be used as solving for dissolving some organic compounds.
Acetone or propanone
Acid compounds. Is the active ingredient of vinegar that gives sour taste.
Carboxylic Acid
Derived from animal fat are called fatty acids.
Carboxylic Acid
Also know as soap
Sodium (potassium carboxylate)
Compound found obtained from fats and oils of animals and plants.
Triglycerol (TAG)
Compound consisting of three ester groups
Triester
Aromatic amine. It is used in preparation of some dyes
Anline
Local anesthetic
lidocaine (amides)
Are abudant in proteins, which are made up of its building blocks called, amino acids.
Amides
Used as organic solvents such as acetonitrile.
Nitriles
Can be prepared in order to introduce other functional groups with increase in the number of carbons.
Nitriles
A toxic compound found in uncooked cassava
Lotaustralin
Examples if alkyl halides. They are used as organic solvents due to their low reactivity.
Dicholoromethane
Examples of aryl halides. They are important in preparation of more complex aromatic compounds— those with more than one functional group.
Bromobenzene
Example of acyl halide. They are important starting materials for preparing other acyl compound such as esters amides.
Acetyl chloride
Compounds the contain this compound have characteristic of nauseous, smell such as rotten egg, garlic, or onion
Sulfur – containing compounds
Volatile substance that is exhaled by people experience halitosis or bad breath
Dimethyl sulfide
A molecule that consist of a disulfide group which links two units of the amino acid________.
Cystine
Active ingredients of detergent
Sulfonic acid(sulfonate salts) and alkylsulfates
Found in molecules, such as acetyl coenzyme.
Thioester
Found in deoxyribonucleic acid. This molecules are made up of the building block called nucleotides which link through a phosphodiester group.
Phosphate esters
They phosphates and triphosphate, respectively, that are involved in energy – producing biochemical process.
Adenosine diphosphate
Can be used as an ad to detect LPG licks due to noxious smell
Thiol
Sulfate – containing functional group found in acetyl coenzyme
Thioester
Link two nucleotides
Phosphodiester
Links two amino acid residues
Amide
Methanal, a compound using preserving animal specimen, is its simplest example.
Aldehyde
It’s sodium or potassium salt is also known as soap
Carboxylic Acid
Artificially prepared compounds used in making ester and amides
Acyl halide
Present in lotaustrallin, a toxic compound found in uncooked cassava.
Nitrile
Present in lotaustrallin, a toxic computer found in uncooked cassava.
Nitrile
