CHAPTER 8INTRODUCTION TO
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
BASIC CHEMISTRY
CHM 138
• Organic chemistry: -The branch of chemistry that deals with carbons compounds.
• ‘Organic’ – derived from living organisms
• Study of compounds extracted from living organisms and their natural products.
• Examples: sugar, starch, urea, waxes, carbohydrates, fats and etc
• Human are composed of organic molecules – proteins in skin, lipid in cell membranes, glycogen in livers and the DNA in the nuclei of cells.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Chemistry of carbon:
- Two stable isotops (13C and 12C)
- electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2
- four valence electrons
- can form more compounds than any other element
- able to form single, double and triple carbon-carbon bonds, and to link up with each other in chains and ring structures
HOMOLOGUE SERIES AND FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
Functional group: A group of atoms that is largely responsible for the chemical behavior of the parent molecule.
Functional groups: - hydrocarbons - alcohols - aldehydes - ketones - carboxylic acids - alkyl halides
HYDROCARBONS
• Made up of only hydrogen and carbon
ALKANES
General formula:
CnH2n+2, where n = 1, 2, ….
Only single covalent bonds are present
Known as saturated hydrocarbons because contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms that can bond with the number of carbon atoms present.
Can be assumed to be sp3-hydridized
Structures of the first four alkanes
The melting and boiling points of the straight-chain isomers of the first 10 alkanes
Homologous Series
1. Definition: A series of compounds in which each member differs from the next by a specific number and kind of atoms.
2. Alkanes: Differ only at number of (CH2)
3. Series of compounds that has the same functional group.

• The general formula of an alkyl group is CnH2n+1.
• Alkyl groups are used to name organic compounds.
NAMING ALKANES
R= CnH2n+1 (any alkyl group)
R = CH3 — methyl group
R = CH3CH2 — ethyl group
• The letter “R” is often used in formulas to represent any of the possible alkyl groups.
IUPAC RULES International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
Consider all alkyl groups attached to it as branch chains or substituents that have replaced hydrogen atoms of the parent hydrocarbon. If two chains of equal length are found, use the chain that has the larger number of substituents attached to it.
The alkane’s name consists of the parent compound’s name prefixed by the names of the alkyl groups attached to it.
RULE 1. Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms as the parent compound.
This structure has 2 chains.

IUPAC RULES
If the first subsitutent from each end is on the same-numbered carbon, go to the next substituent to determine which end of the the chain to start numbering.
RULE 2. Number the carbon atoms in the parent carbon chain starting from the end closest to the first carbon atom that has an alkyl group substituted for a hydrogen atom.
If the chain is numbered left to right, the isopropyl group is on carbon 5.
isopropyl group
1 2 53 7 864
If the chain is numbered right to left, the isopropyl group is on carbon 4.
isopropyl group
8 7 46 2 135
Use right to left numbering so that the isopropyl group is on the lowest numbered carbon.
4-isopropyloctane
IUPAC RULES
RULE 3. Name each alkyl group and designate its position on the parent carbon chain by a number (e.g., 2-methyl means group attached to C-2).
5 4 2 13
2-isopropyl pentane
2,3-dimethylpentane
5 4 2 13
The methyl group appears twice
RULE 4. When the same alkyl-group branch chain appears more than once, indicate this repetition by a prefix (di-, tri-, tetra- and so forth) written in front of the alkyl group name (e.g. dimethyl indicates two methyl groups).
–The numbers indicating the alkyl-group positions are separated by a command and followed by a hyphen and are placed in front of thename (e.g., 2,3-dimethyl).
RULE 5. When several different alkyl groups are attached to the parent compound, list them in alphabetical order (e.g. ethyl before methyl in 3-ethyl-4-methyloctane). Prefixes are not included in alphabetical ordering (ethyl comes before dimethyl).

Basic concepts of nylon production
• The first approach: - combining molecules with an acid (COOH) group on each end are reacted with two chemicals that contain amine (NH2) groups on each end.- Form nylon 6,6, made of hexamethylene diamine with six carbon atoms and acidipic acid, as well as six carbon atoms.
• The second approach: - a compound has an acid at one end and an amine at the other and is polymerized to form a chain with repeating units of (-NH-[CH2]n-CO-)x.- Form nylon 6, made from a single six-carbon substance called caprolactam.
