1
Organic Acids
Condensed form is written –COOH
– A carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group bonded to same C
– Known as a carboxyl group
– An organic acid
The Carboxyl group is always a terminal functional
group
2
Carboxylic acids ionize in water to form a proton and
A carboxylate anion
A Weak Acid
3
Naming Organic Acids
The carboxyl group is a terminal group
– no need to give it a number. It’s always on C #1
Drop the –e from the alkane name and add –oic
acid
Name this compound:
Butanoic acid
4
Naming Organic Acids
Name this compound:
C-C-C-C-C-COOH
hexanoic acid
5
Physical properties
- Sharp or noxious smells
- polar molecule that can form 2 hydrogen bonds
with themselves or with water
C-C=O
OH
HO
O=C- C
C-C=O
OH
O
H
H
This leads to high B.P. and high solubility in water
- 1st four acids are totally miscible in water
6
Esters
Esters are derivatives of Carboxylic acids
– Combination of an Acid and an Alcohol
– The alcohol portion provides the “Alkyl” part of the ester
name
7
Naming Esters
Esters are not a terminal group but the carbonyl carbon
is considered to be C #1
Name the group attached to the hydroxyl oxygen first
(the alkyl group)
Next name the carboxylate carbon chain, dropping the –
e and adding –oate
Written condensed format is RCOOR’
8
Properties
Esters have distinctive odors (flowers, flavors etc.)
- It’s a function of which alcohol is combined with
which acid

Name this compound:

Name this compound:

CH3-C-O-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
butyl ethanoate
10
Amide
Like esters the amide functional group is a
derivative of carboxylic acids
– The -OH is replaced by the amine group
The amide group is a terminal group
Important biological molecules
– Links amino acids together to form proteins
11
Amide Physical Properties
-Amides have very high BP’s due to strong H-bonding
-Intermolecular hydrogen bonding possible
- H-bonding can occur between N, H and O
CH3 – C=O
NH2
- BP’s are higher than similar esters and acids
B.P. (deg. C)

Amide
Take the name of the alkane with the same number
of carbon atoms
Drop the –e from the alkane name and add –amide
Ethanamide
13
Aldehydes
This group is always on a terminal C – so no need to
specify location by number
Condensed it is symbolized by a -CHO group at the
end of the formula
Aldehydes have characteristic scents and tastes
– Cinnamon, bannana, apple, raspberry flavors are
examples
14
Aldehydes
To name aldehydes drop the –e
from the end of the alkane and
add –al; C=O is C #1
Name these two compounds:
Methanal
(formaldehyde)
Butanal
15
Ketones
Like the aldehydes the Functional group is the
carbonyl group C=O
Contains an alkyl group on either side of the C=O
– In aldehydes one side is an alkyl group the other is H
Often used as a solvent
– Acetone is one example
16
Naming Ketones
Number the C chain so C=O has the lowest #
Drop the final e from the alkane name and add -one
Name these compounds:
2-pentanone
3-hexanone
C-C-C-C-C
o
17
Amines
Nitrogen is the functional part of an amine
Nitrogen can form three covalent bonds (just like NH3)
– One must be to a carbon chain
– The other two bonds can be to Carbon and/or H2
C-C-NH2 or C-C-N-H or
C
C-C-N-C
C
18
Physical properties of Amines
Like ammonia, amines are polar compounds
And like ammonia, amines are Bronsted-Lowery Bases
- i.e they’re Proton acceptors

Physical properties of Amines
-Since amines can act as proton acceptors the
reaction with a proton donor like HCl leads to
an Ionic Compound

Physical properties of Amines
-Amines can H-bond with water
-Leads to high water solubility up to about 6C

-Amines have very strong odors
- Methyl and ethyl amine smells like ammonia
-Higher MW amines often have a fishy smell
-Aromatic amines are generally toxic
-Readily absorbed through skin often with fatal results
21
Naming Amines
Need #’s to designate the location of the amine
Name your carbon chain as an alkane, drop the –
e and add –amine
2-butanamine
22
Some nasty DIAMINES …Yuk!
23
Amino Acids
Related to both amines and acids are the Amino Acids
If you have an “-NH2” and a COOH in one molecule it is
an amino acid
GLYCINE
(Gly or G)
Aminoethonaoic acid
Smallest of the
20 amino acids
Commonly
Found in
Proteins
Since the amino group is a proton acceptor and the
Carboxylic acid is a proton donor, amino acids are
Actually NH3+ and COO-.
