  1. Functional Groups By Dr. Christophy

  2. Functional Groups • “Arrangements of atoms in an organic compound that is capable of characteristic chemical reactions.” • Functional groups contain at least one atom that is not C or H, usually O or N or a halogen. • R is used to represent a carbon/hydrogen chain. R’ is used to represent a chain that may be different on the same molecule.

  3. Alkyl Halides • Hydrocarbon in which a halogen is attached to a carbon chain. • The halogen is named as a substituent group, just like ethyl or methyl. • The halogen names are fluoro-, chloro-, bromo- and iodo-

  4. Naming Examples – Alkyl Halides Name this structure: Name this structure: Click here to see the answer Click here to see the answer

  5. Alcohols • An alcohol contains an “OH” group attached to a hydrocarbon.

  6. Alcohols (cont.) • Alcohols all have the ending “-ol”. • A number indicates to which carbon the functional group is attached. The alcohol gets the lowest number possible. • Example: 2-propanol

  7. Naming Examples - Alcohols Name this alcohol Name this alcohol: Click here to see the answer Click here to see the answer

  8. Types of Alcohols • If the alcohol is attached to a carbon that is also attached to two hydrogens and one other carbon, that is a primary alcohol. • If the alcohol is attached to a carbon that is also attached to one hydrogen and two other carbons, that is a secondary alcohol. • If the alcohol is attached to a carbon that is also attached to no hydrogens just three other carbons, that is a tertiary alcohol.

  9. Types of Alcohols (cont.) Identify the following as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols: Click for the answer

  10. Ethers • When the hydrogen in an alcohol is instead replaced by a hydrocarbon group, the result is an ether: The R groups may be the same or different

  11. Naming Ethers • Ethers are named by naming the hydrocarbon on either side of the oxygen. • The R-group names are placed in alphabetical order. • If the R-groups are the same, the prefix “di” is used. • The last word in the name is “Ether”

  13. Ketones • A ketone, like an alcohol, has a carbon attached to an oxygen. This time, however, the C and the O are connected by a double-bond. • The C=O group is called a “carbonyl” group

  14. Naming Ketones • The suffix for a ketone is “-one” • Ketones are named the same way as any other hydrocarbon, except the longest chain must contain the C=O group, and the final “e” on the end of the name is replaced by “-one” • Number the carbon that contains the double-bonded “O” with the lowest number possible.

  16. Aldehydes • Aldehydes are ketones at the end of a chain. • The ending for an aldehyde is “-al” • Since the carbonyl group is always at the end, there is no need for a number.

  18. Carboxylic Acids • Carboxylic Acids are kind of a combination of an aldehyde and an alcohol.

  19. Naming Carboxylic Acids • The ending is always “-oic acid” • Again, no number is needed because the group is always at the end.

  21. Esters • Esters are a combination of a ketone and an ether • The general formula is:

  22. Naming An Ester • Esters are just a little tricky to name. • The name of the group AFTER the “O” is first. • The second word in the name is the part that includes the carboxyl group and ends with “oate”

  24. Amines • Amines contain a nitrogen attached to a carbon and one or more hydrogens • Like alcohols, amines can be primary, secondary or tertiary. Any of these R groups could be a hydrogen

  25. Amides • An amide is attached to a carbon that has a carbonyl group.
