Page 2: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Functional GroupsMost organic chemistry involves

substituents–often contain O, N, S, or P–also called “functional groups”- they

are the chemically functional part of the molecule, and are the non-hydrocarbon part

Page 3: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Functional Groups Functional group - a specific

arrangement of atoms in an organic compound, that is capable of characteristic chemical reactions.–What is the best way to classify

organic compounds? By their functional groups.

Page 4: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Functional GroupsThe symbol “R” is used to

represent any carbon chains or rings

- alkyl groups

Page 5: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Halogen Substituents

Halocarbons - class of organic compounds containing covalently bonded fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine

– General formula: R-X (X = halogen) Naming? Name parent as normal, add the

halogen as a substituent (or prefix) -

Page 6: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Halogen Substituents

The more highly halogenated the compound is, the higher the b.p.

Few halocarbons found in nature

–but, readily prepared and used

–halothane and also the hydrofluorocarbons

Page 7: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Substitution Reactions

Organic reactions often much slowerslower than inorganic reactions– must break strong covalent bond– trying to find new catalysts to use

Substitution - an atom (or group of atoms) replaces another atom or group of atoms

Page 8: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Substitution Reactions

A halogen (shown as “X”) can replace a hydrogen to make a halocarbon:

R-H + X2 R-X + HX Sunlight is often a sufficient catalyst:

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HClUV light

Page 9: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Substitution ReactionsTreating benzene with a halogen?

Halogens on carbon chains are readily displaced by hydroxide ions (OH1-) to make an alcohol + a salt:

R-X + OH1- R-OH + X1-

CH3-Cl + NaOH CH3-OH + NaCl

Methanol + sodium chloride

Page 10: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Substitution Reactions

CH3-I + KOH CH3-OH + KI

CH3CH2Br + NaOH CH3CH2OH + NaBr

Iodomethane Methanol

Bromoethane Ethanol

Page 11: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Alcohols and Ethers

Page 12: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Alcohols Alcohols - a class of organic compounds with

an -OH group– The -OH functional group in alcohols is

called a “hydroxyl” group; thus R-OH is the formula

How is this different from the hydroxide ion? (covalent bonding with the carbon- not ionic with a metal like bases)

Page 13: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Alcohols Aliphatic alcohols classified into

categories according to the number of R groups attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl–1 R group: primary alcohol–2 R groups: secondary alcohol–3 R groups: tertiary alcohol

Page 14: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Alcohols Both IUPAC and common names For IUPAC:

–drop the -e ending of the parent alkane name; add ending of -ol, number the position of -OH

–parent is the longest chain that contains the carbon with the hydroxyl attached.

Page 15: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

AlcoholsThe hydroxyl is given the

lowest position numberAlcohols containing 2, 3, and 4

of the -OH substituents are named diols, triols, and tetrols respectively

Page 16: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

AlcoholsCommon names:

–similar to halocarbons, meaning name the alkyl group, then followed by the word alcohol

–One carbon alcohol = methyl alcohol

Page 17: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Alcohols More than one -OH substituents

are called glycols (ethylene glycol?) Phenols - compounds in which a

hydroxyl group is attached directly to an aromatic ring. Cresol is the common name of o, m, and p isomers of methylphenol

Page 18: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Properties of Alcohols

Much like water, alcohols are capable of hydrogen bonding between molecules

–this means they will boil at a higher temp. than alkanes and halocarbons with a comparable number of atoms

Page 19: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Properties of Alcohols Alcohols are derivates of water; the

-OH comes from water, and thus are somewhat soluble

Alcohols of up to 4 carbons are soluble in water in all proportions; more than 4 carbons are usually less soluble, because the longer carbon chain is more nonpolar

Page 20: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Properties of Alcohols Many aliphatic alcohols used in

laboratories, clinics, and industry

–Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) is rubbing alcohol; used as antiseptic, and a base for perfume, creams, lotions, and other cosmetics

Ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol) - commonly sold as “antifreeze”

Page 21: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Properties of AlcoholsGlycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) -

used as a moistening agent in cosmetics, foods, and drugs; also a component of fats and oils

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) used in the intoxicating beverages; also an important industrial solvent

Page 22: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Properties of AlcoholsDenatured alcohol- means it

has been made poisonous by the addition of other chemicals, often methyl alcohol (methanol, or wood alcohol).

As little as 10 mL of methanol has been known to cause permanent blindness, and 30 ml has resulted in death!

Page 23: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Addition Reactions The carbon-carbon single bond is

not easy to break In double bonded alkenes, it is

easier to break a bond Addition reaction- substance is

added at the double or triple bond location, after it is broken

Page 24: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Addition Reactions Addition of water to an alkene is a

hydration reaction - usually occurs with heat and an acid (such as HCl or H2SO4 acting as a catalyst)

Note the formation of ethanol from ethene + water

Page 25: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Addition Reactions If a halogen is added in an addition

reaction, the result is a halocarbon that is disubstituted –

The addition of bromine is often used as a test for saturation - Addition of a hydrogen halide? -called monosubstituted halocarbon

Page 26: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Addition Reactions Addition of hydrogen to produce an

alkane is a hydrogenation reaction, which usually involves a catalyst such as Pt or Pd

–common application is the manufacture of margarine from unsaturated vegetable oils (making them solid from a liquid)

Page 27: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Addition Reactions

The hydrogenation of a double bond is a reduction reaction, which in one sense is defined as

the “gain of H” ethene is “reduced” to ethane;

cyclohexene is “reduced” to cyclohexane

Page 28: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Ethers A class of organic compounds in

which oxygen is bonded to 2 carbon groups: R-O-R is formula

Naming? The two R groups are alphabetized, and followed by ether

Two R groups the same? Use the prefix di-

Page 29: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Ethers Diethyl ether is the one commonly

called just “ether”

–was the first reliable general anesthetic

–dangerous- highly flammable, also causes nausea

ethers are fairly soluble in water Alcohol used for fuel in the future?

Page 30: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Carbonyl Compounds

Page 31: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and KetonesReview:

–alcohol has an oxygen bonded to a carbon group and a hydrogen

–ether has an oxygen bonded to two carbon groups

An oxygen can also be bonded to a single carbon by a double bond

Page 32: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and Ketones The C=O group is called the

“carbonyl group”

–it is the functional group in both aldehydes and ketones

Aldehydes - carbonyl group always joined to at least one hydrogen (meaning it is always on the end!)

Page 33: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and KetonesKetones - the carbon of the

carbonyl group is joined to two other carbons (meaning it is never on the end)

Page 34: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and Ketones Naming?

–Aldehydes: identify longest chain containing the carbonyl group, then the -e ending replaced by -al, such as methanal, ethanal, etc.

–Ketones: longest chain w/carbonyl, then new ending of -one; number it?

propanone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone

Page 35: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and Ketones

Neither can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, thus a much lower b.p. than corresponding alcohols

wide variety have been isolated from plants and animals; possible fragrant odor or taste; many common names

Page 36: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and KetonesBenzaldehydeCinnamaldehydeVanillinMethanal (the common name is:

formaldehyde)–40% in water is formalin, a

preservative

Page 37: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Aldehydes and KetonesPropanone (common: acetone)

is a good solvent; miscible with water in all proportions

why is it a good substance used in nail-polish removers? (a powerful solvent-able to dissolve both polar & nonpolar)

Page 38: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

The Carboxylic Acids… Also have a carbonyl group (C=O),

but is also attached to a hydroxyl group (-OH) = “carboxyl” group

general formula: R-COOH

–weak acids (ionize slightly) Named by replacing -e with -oic

and followed by the word acid methanoic acid; ethanoic acid

Page 39: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Carboxylic Acids Abundant and widely distributed in

nature, many having a Greek or Latin word describing their origin

–acetic acid (ethanoic acid) from acetum, meaning vinegar

–many that were isolated from fats are called fatty acids

Page 40: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

The Esters… General formula: RCOOR Derivatives of the carboxylic acids,

in which the -OH from the carboxyl group is replaced by an -OR from an alcohol:

carboxylic acid + alcohol ester + water many esters have pleasant, fruity

odors- banana, pineapple, perfumes

Page 41: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

EstersAlthough polar, they do not form

hydrogen bonds (reason: there is no hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom!)

–thus, much lower b.p. than the hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acids they came from

Page 42: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

EstersCan be prepared from a

carboxylic acid and an alcohol; usually a trace of mineral acid added as catalyst (because acids are dehydrating agents)

Page 43: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

EstersNaming? It has 2 words:

–1st: alkyl attached to single bonded oxygen from alcohol

–2nd: take the acid name, remove the -ic acid, add -ate

Page 44: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions All of the previous classes of

organic compounds are related by oxidation and reduction reactions

What is oxidation-reduction?

–Oxidation: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen, or loss of e-1

–Reduction: the loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen, or gain of e-1

Page 45: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction ReactionsOxidation and reduction

reactions (sometimes called redox) are coupled- one does not occur without the other

The number of Oxygen and Hydrogen attached to Carbon indicates the degree of oxidation

Page 46: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions

The fewer the # of H on a C-C bond, the more oxidized the bond–Thus, a triple bond is more

oxidized than a double bond and a single bond

An alkane is oxidized (loss of H) to an alkene, and then to an alkyne

Page 47: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions

Loss of hydrogen is called a dehydrogenation reaction

–may require strong heating and a catalyst

Page 48: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions Methane can be oxidized in steps

to carbon dioxidemethane methanol methanal methanoic acid CO2

the more reduced (more H) a carbon compound, the more energy it can release upon oxidation

Page 49: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Oxidation- Reduction ReactionsAlcohols can also be oxidized

into other products “Dr. Al K. Hall Mr. Al D. Hyde”Preparing aldehydes from a

primary alcohol is a problem, because they are then easily oxidized to carboxylic acids

Page 50: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

coating on bearings and bushings used in chemical reactors

Page 58: “Functional Groups”. Functional Groups l Most organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”- they

Condensation PolymersCondensation polymers are

formed by the head-to-tail joining of monomer units

–usually accompanied by the loss of water from the reacting monomers, and forming water as a product
