Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry The study of carbon-containing compounds and their properties. The vast majority of organic compounds contain chains of rings of carbon atoms. The study of the chemistry of living things. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 1 Hydrocarbons . . . compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen. Saturated: carbon-carbon bonds are all single alkanes [CnH2n+2] H H H C C H H H Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 2 Hydrocarbons (continued) Unsaturated: contains carbon-carbon multiple bonds. H H H C H C H C H Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 3 Rules for Naming Alkanes 1. For alkanes beyond butane, add -ane to the Greek root for the number of carbons. C-C-C-C-C-C = hexane 2. Alkyl substituents: drop the -ane and add -yl. -C2H5 is ethyl Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 4 Rules for Naming Alkanes 3. Positions of substituent groups are specified by numbering the longest chain sequentially. C C-C-C-C-C-C 3-methylhexane 4. Location and name are followed by root alkane name. Substituents in alphabetical order and use di-, tri-, etc. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 5 Substitution Reactions Primarily where halogen atoms replace hydrogen atoms. CHCl 3 Cl 2 h CCl 4 HCl Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 6 Cyclic Alkanes Carbon atoms can form rings containing only carbon-carbon single bonds. C3H6, C4H8, C6H12 Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 7 Alkenes and Alkynes Alkenes: hydrocarbons that contain a carboncarbon double bond. [CnH2n] CC=C propene Alkynes: hydrocarbons containing a carboncarbon triple bond. CCCCC 2-pentyne Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8 Nomenclature for Alkenes 1. Root hydrocarbon name ends in -ene C2H4 is ethene 2. With more than 3 carbons, double bond is indicated by the lowest numbered carbon atom in the bond. C=CCC is 1-butene Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 9 Addition Reactions . . . in which (weaker) bonds are broken and new (stronger) bonds are formed to atoms being added. catalyst CH2 CHCH3 H2 CH3CH2CH3 Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Monomer Polymer Ethylene Polyethylene Vinyl chloride Polyvinyl chloride Tetrafluoroethylene Teflon Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 14 Types of Polymerization Addition Polymerization: monomers “add together” to form the polymer, with no other products. (Teflon) Condensation Polymerization: A small molecule, such as water, is formed for each extension of the polymer chain. (Nylon) Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 19 Levels of Structure •Primary: Sequence of amino acids in the protein chain. •Secondary: The arrangement of the protein chain in the long molecule (hydrogen bonding determines this). •Tertiary: The overall shape of the protein (determined by hydrogen-bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, ionic bonds, covalent bonds and London forces).
