“Organic chemistry is enough to
drive one mad. It gives the
impression of a primeval tropical
forest of the most remarkable things,
a monstrous and boundless thicket
with no way of escape, into which
one may well dread to enter”
Frederich Wöhler (1835)

Why Is Carbon Unique?
1.
2.
Forms four covalent bonds
Bonds covalently to: H, O, N, P, S, and
all other nonmetals (except noble gases)
3.
Carbon atoms join to form:
 Chains and Rings
H2
C
CH2
CH3CH2CH2CH3 H2C
H2C CH2
8
Why Is Carbon Unique?
4.
Carbon can form multiple bonds to
itself, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Example:
C-C (single bond)
C=C (double bond)
C=C (triple bond)

Why Is Carbon Unique?
5.



Many carbon compounds exist in the form
of isomers.
Isomers are compounds with the same
molecular formula but different
structures.
An isomer example: A, B, and C all are
C4H10 but have different structures.
Example:
10
CH3CH2CH CH2 A
CH3CH CH CH3 B
CH2 CH2
C
CH2 CH2
11
Families of Compounds: Hydrocarbons



Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen.
They are nonpolar molecules and consequently are
not soluble in water but are soluble in typical
nonpolar organic solvents like toluene or pentane.
Hydrocarbons are constructed of chains or rings of
carbon atoms with sufficient hydrogens to fulfill
carbons need for four bonds.

Classification
Hydrocarbons
Aliphatic
-nonbenzenoid rings
-Example:
Alkanes, alkenes,
alkynes & their
derivative
Aromatic
Benzene ring

General Formulae
Homologous series:
series of compounds with similar chemical
properties, each member differs from the previous
one by the addition of a –CH2- group.
The general characteristics of a homologous series are:
1) same functional group and similar chemical
properties.
2) differs from the next in the series by a –CH2- group.
3) may be prepared by similar methods.
4) The physical properties- show a progressive change
with increasing relative molecular mass.
5) contain the same elements and can be represented
by the same general formula.

General Formulae
The general formula for an organic compound
can also be written by using the symbol R to
represent the alkyl group, CnH2n+1 or the phenyl
group, C6H5.
(R’ and R’’ represent two alkyl groups. The alkyl
groups can be the same or different.)
The phenyl group (- C6H5) has the structural
formula of:

Systematic Naming
1)
2)
3)
The IUPAC (International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry) is responsible for
chemistry names.
In the IUPAC system, the chemical name of
an organic compounds has three parts:
prefix, parent and suffix
The prefix of the chemical name gives
information about the substituent present,
the parent gives the number of carbon atoms
present in the molecule
the suffix gives the name of the homologous
series.
23
Systematic Naming
Example:
IUPAC name for BrCH2CH2COOH is
3–bromopropanoic acid
Prefix: bromo
Parent: propan
Suffix: oic
24
Saturated and Unsaturated
Compounds
Saturated compounds (alkanes) have the
maximum number of hydrogen atoms
attached to each carbon atom
Unsaturated compounds have fewer
hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon
chain than alkanes
Unsaturated compounds contain double or
triple bonds
25
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons







Molecules contain one or more carbon-carbon
double (C=C) or triple (C≡C) bonds
􀂆
There are three classes of unsaturated
hydrocarbons:
1. alkenes and cycloalkenes, CnH2n
2. alkynes and cycloalkynes, CnH2n-2
3. aromatic hydrocarbons
26
Alkanes, CnH2n+2


Contain C and H only
Contain single bonds C-C
Have 4 bonds to every carbon (C) atom
Are nonpolar

27
Alkanes, CnH2n+2

The bonding around each carbon atom is
tetrahedral, so all bond angles are 109.5°.

As a result, the carbon atoms in higher alkanes are
arranged in zig-zag rather than linear patterns.

Alkane- IUPAC Names

Before learning the IUPAC rules for
naming alkanes, the names and structures
of eight alkyl groups must be learned.

These alkyl groups are historical names
accepted by the IUPAC and integrated
into modern nomenclature.

An alkyl group is an alkane with one
hydrogen atom removed. It is named by
replacing the ane of the alkane name with
-yl.
Methane becomes a methyl group.
31

All six hydrogens on ethane are
equivalent. Removing one H generates
the ethyl group.
