Organic Nomenclature. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: ALCOHOL School Logo An alcohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, we often represent alcohols by the general formula ROH, where R is an alkyl group. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: ETHER School Logo Ethers are a class of compounds that contain an ether group- an oxygen atom bonded to two organyl groups (alkyl or aryl). They have the general formula R-O-R’ . Hydrocarbon Derivatives: ALDEHYDE School Logo Aldehydes are also known as formyl or methanoyl group. It derived their name from the dehydration of alcohols and contain the carbonyl group bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: KETONE School Logo Ketone is any of a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group in which the carbon atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen atom. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: CARBOXYLIC ACID School Logo A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that contains the carboxyl functional group. The general formula for a carboxylic acid is R-COOH. The carbon atom of the carboxyl group may be attached to a hydrogen atom or to a carbon chain. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: Ester School Logo Esters are organic compounds that are derived from carboxylic acids. The carboxyl group –COOH is contained in a carboxylic acid. The hydrogen in this group is being replaced by a hydrocarbon group in esters. These hydrocarbon groups could be a methyl, ethyl, or phenyl group. Hydrocarbon Derivatives: Amine School Logo An amine is a derivative of ammonia in which one, two, or all three hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydrocarbon groups. The amine functional group is as follows: primary, secondary, or tertiary by the number of hydrocarbon groups attached to the nitrogen atom.Hydrocarbon Derivatives: Amine School Logo An amine is a derivative of ammonia in which one, two, or all three hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydrocarbon groups.

Organic Nomenclature. What are aliphatic compounds or aliphatic hydrocarbons? An aliphatic compound or aliphatic hydrocarbon is an organic compound containing hydrogen and carbon atoms that are usually linked together in chains that are straight. The term Aliphatic has been derived from the Greek word “Aleiphar” which translates to “fat”. It is used to describe hydrocarbons that are obtained by the chemical degradation of oils or fats. What are aliphatic compounds or aliphatic hydrocarbons? The simplest organic compounds are those composed of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen. These compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are separated into two types: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons based on chains of C atoms. There are three types of aliphatic hydrocarbons: Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons with only single covalent bonds. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one C–C double bond, and alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain a C–C triple bond. Occasionally, we find an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a ring of C atoms; these hydrocarbons are called cycloalkanes (or cycloalkenes or cycloalkynes). The simplest alkanes have their C atoms bonded in a straight chain; these are called normal alkanes. They are named according to the number of C atoms in the chain. The smallest alkane is methane: molecule is three dimensional, with the H atoms in the positions of the four corners of a tetrahedron. The diagrams representing alkanes are called structural formulas because they show the structure of the molecule. As molecules get larger, structural formulas become more and more complex. One way around this is to use a condensed structural formula, which lists the formula of each C atom in the backbone of the Molecule. The condensed formulas show hydrogen atoms right next to the carbon atoms to which they are attached, as illustrated for butane: The ultimate condensed formula is a line-angle formula (or line drawing) , in which carbon atoms are implied at the corners and ends of lines, and each carbon atom is understood to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon atom four bonds. For example, we can represent pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) and isopentane [(CH3)2CHCH2CH3] as follows: Unsaturated Hydocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes Organic compounds that contain one or more double or triple bonds between carbon atoms are described as unsaturated. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have less than the maximum number of H atoms possible. Unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules that contain one or more double bonds are called alkenes. Carbon atoms linked by a double bond are bound together by two bonds, one σ bond and one π bond. Double and triple bonds give rise to a different geometry around the carbon atom that participates in them, leading to important differences in molecular shape and properties. The differing geometries are responsible for the different properties of unsaturated versus saturated fats. Naming Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes and alkynes are named in a similar fashion. The biggest difference is that when identifying the longest carbon chain, it must contain the C–C double or triple bond. Furthermore, when numbering the main chain, the double or triple bond gets the lowest possible number. This means that there may be longer or higher-numbered substituents than may be allowed if the molecule were an alkane. For example, this molecule is 2,4-dimethyl-3-heptene (note the number and the hyphens that indicate the position of the double bond). Unsaturated Hydocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes Unsaturated Hydocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes Alkynes Hydrocarbon molecules with one or more triple bonds are called alkynes; they make up another series of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Two carbon atoms joined by a triple bond are bound together by one σ bond and two π bonds. The sp-hybridized carbons involved in the triple bond have bond angles of 180°, giving these types of bonds a linear, rod-like shape. The simplest member of the alkyne series is ethyne, C2H2, commonly called acetylene. The Lewis structure for ethyne, a linear molecule, is: Properties of Unsaturated Hydocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes Ethylene (the common industrial name for ethene) is a basic raw material in the production of polyethylene and other important compounds. Over 135 million tons of ethylene were produced worldwide in 2010 for use in the polymer, petrochemical, and plastic industries. Ethylene is produced industrially in a process called cracking, in which the long hydrocarbon chains in a petroleum mixture are broken into smaller molecules. Halogens can also react with alkenes and alkynes, but the reaction is different. In these cases, the halogen reacts with the C–C double or triple bond and inserts itself onto each C atom involved in the multiple bonds. This reaction is called an addition reaction. One example is Properties of Unsaturated Hydocarbons: Alkenes and Alkynes Hydrogen can also be added across a multiple bond; this reaction is called a hydrogenation reaction. In this case, however, the reaction conditions may not be mild; high pressures of H2 gas may be necessary. A platinum or palladium catalyst is usually employed to get the reaction to proceed at a reasonable pace: CH2=CH2+H2→metalcatalystCH3CH3 CH2=CH2+H2→metalcatalystCH3CH3.
