ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Key words: Substituince, chain, ring, benzene, phenyl, aromatic, alcohol, acid, ester, ethyl, methyl, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclopropal, halogens, hydrogenated hydrocarbons, butane

Questions: - How do you know when it’s methly, etyl, etc.

*Get either an alcohol, an ester or an acid (no combination)

• Benzene is an aromatic

Aromatic means: that it has cyclic and has alternating double bonds, giving it unique stability and reactivity compared to aliphatic compounds.

Benzene is a 3 carbon ring with 3 alternating with single bonds, which allows for resonance structures that contribute to its overall stability.

Bonds can be single, double or tripple

Phenyl: A functional group derived from benzene by removing one hydrogen atom, allowing it to bond with other atoms or groups, and is represented as (C6H5-).

Substuine: is when it’s not in the root

Cyclopropyl : A cyclic alkane with three carbon atoms, characterized by its unique ring structure, which impacts its reactivity and stability in various organic reactions, it’s a triangle thats attached to the hexagon.

Methyl = lower

Ethyl = higher

Propyl =

butyl =

Example on page 12 of the slides

1- ethyl -3 - methylbenzene

1,2 - dimethylbenzene

6 - cyclopropyl - 5 - phenyloct-3-ene

Halogenated hydrocardons are organic compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms (such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) replacing hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon structure.

chlorine = chloro

fluorine = fluoro

iodine = iodo

bromine = bromo

*Organized in alphebetical order

*Lowest number on the double bond, always

*pick the path that gives the lowest number overall

Single bonds = ane

Double bonds = ene

Triple bonds = yne

1 - bromo - 2 - chloro benzene

6 - chloro - 8 - cyclopropal - 5 - ethyl - 4 - phenylnon - 3 - en - 1 - yne
