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.

Hydrocarbons
. . . compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen.
Saturated: carbon-carbon bonds are all single alkanes [CnH2n+2]

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

Rules for Naming Alkanes
3.
Positions of substituent groups are
specified by numbering the longest chain
sequentially.

4.
Location and name are followed by root
alkane name. Substituents in alphabetical
order and use di-, tri-, etc.

Cyclic Alkanes
Carbon atoms can form rings containing
only carbon-carbon single bonds.

Alkenes and Alkynes
Alkenes: hydrocarbons that contain a carboncarbon double bond. [CnH2n]
CC=C
propene
Alkynes: hydrocarbons containing a carboncarbon triple bond.

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=CCC is 1-butene

Addition Reactions
. . . in which (weaker)  bonds are broken and
new (stronger)  bonds are formed to
atoms being added.

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)

Proteins
•Natural polymers made up of -amino acids
(molecular weight from  6000 to >1,000,000
g/mol).
•Fibrous Proteins: provide structural integrity
and strength to muscle, hair and cartilage.

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).
