This guide explores key functional groups in organic compounds, focusing on alcohols and ethers. Functional groups are specific atom groups that impart distinct properties to organic molecules. Alcohols, classified by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups, have general formulas (e.g., R-OH) and specific naming conventions, such as adding "-ol" to the parent name. Ethers consist of two hydrocarbon chains linked by an oxygen atom (R-O-R'). Learn how to name and classify these compounds effectively, with examples and structural illustrations for clarity.
E N D
Other Organic Compounds(p. 36) • Functional Group • Atom or group of atoms that give specific properties to an organic compound. • Same functional group • Similar properties • Classified together
Alcohols • Organic compound that contains one or more hydroxyl group (-OH); the oxygen is bonded to a hydrogen and a carbon. • General formula: R-OH
Naming Alcohols: • If no number is present in front of the parent name, presume the –OH is on carbon number 1. • If 1 –OH group • Drop the “e” on the parent name and add “ol”. Example: C-C-C-C-OH 1-butanol
Example C-C-C-C-C-C-C OH 3-heptanol
Name: C C-C-C-C-C OH 2-methyl-2-pentanol
Naming alcohols continued • If two or more –OH groups • 2= -diol • 3=-triol • 4=tetraol • Keep the –ane, add the appropriate ending listed above.
Example: C-OH C-OH C-OH 1,2,3-propanetriol
Classification of Alcohols Ignore this section. Go on to p. 38
Ethers • Organic compounds with 2 hydrocarbons bonded to the same oxygen • General formula: R-O-R’ • Where R and R’ can be the same size or different.
Naming Ethers: • Arrange the R and R’ groups on alphabetical order. • Use –yl endings like branches; if R and R’ are the same, use “di”. • End the name with the word ether.
Name: C-C-O-C-C-C-C Butyl ethyl ether
Name: C-C-C-O-C-C-C dipropyl ether
Name: C-C-C-O-C methyl propyl ether
Draw: Dicyclohexyl ether
Draw: Butyl pentyl ether
Draw: methyl phenyl ether
