ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
• Organic chemistry:
-The branch of chemistry that deals with carbons
compounds.
• ‘Organic’ – derived from living organisms
• Study of compounds extracted from living organisms
and their natural products.
• Examples: sugar, starch, urea, waxes, carbohydrates,
fats and etc
• Human are composed of organic molecules – proteins
in skin, lipid in cell membranes, glycogen in livers and
the DNA in the nuclei of cells.

Chemistry of carbon:
- Two stable isotops (13C and 12C)
- electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2
- four valence electrons
- can form more compounds than any other
element
- able to form single, double and triple carboncarbon bonds, and to link up with each other
in chains and ring structures
HOMOLOGUE SERIES AND FUNCTIONAL


Functional group:
A group of atoms that is largely responsible for the
chemical behavior of the parent molecule.
Functional groups:

NAMING ALKANES
• Alkyl groups are used to name organic compounds.

• The letter “R” is often used in formulas to represent any
of the possible alkyl groups.
R= CnH2n+1 (any alkyl group)
R = CH3 —

R = CH3CH2 — ethyl group
IUPAC RULES

RULE 1. Select the longest continuous chain of
carbon atoms as the parent compound.


Consider all alkyl groups attached to it as branch
chains or substituents that have replaced hydrogen
atoms of the parent hydrocarbon. If two chains of
equal length are found, use the chain that has the
larger number of substituents attached to it.
The alkane’s name consists of the parent
compound’s name prefixed by the names of the
alkyl groups attached to it.


It does not matter which hydrogen is replaced
by G.

• The alcohol part is named first (derived from the
common names of alcohol).
• The common names of esters are derived by adding
–ate to the name of the acid.
ethyl acetate
Amide


Amide: a composite of a carboxylic acid and
ammonia or an amine.
Classification of amide:
i) primary amide: RCONH2 (two H atoms
bonded to N atom)
ii) secondary amide: RCONHR’ (one H atoms
bonded to N atom)
iii) tertiary amide: RCONR’R” (no H atoms
bonded to N atom)

USES AND IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC
COMPOUNDS
NYLON
• Nylons are condensation copolymers formed by reacting
equal parts of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acids, so that
peptide bonds form at both ends of each monomer in a
process analogous to polypeptides biopolymers.
• General reactions:
Dicarboxylic acids
Diamines
Nylon
Basic concepts of nylon production
• The first approach:
- combining molecules with an acid (COOH) group on each
end are reacted with two chemicals that contain amine (NH2)
groups on each end.
- Form nylon 6,6, made of hexamethylene diamine with six
carbon atoms and acidipic acid, as well as six carbon atoms.
• The second approach:
- a compound has an acid at one end and an amine at the
other and is polymerized to form a chain with repeating units
of (-NH-[CH2]n-CO-)x.
- Form nylon 6, made from a single six-carbon substance
called caprolactam.
Uses and important of nylon

Apparel: Blouses, dresses, foundation garments, hosiery,
lingerie, raincoats, ski apparel, windbreakers, swimwear, and
cycle wear

Home Furnishings: Bedspreads, carpets, curtains, upholstery

Industrial and Other Uses: Tire cord, hoses, conveyer and seat
belts, parachutes, racket strings, ropes and nets, sleeping
bags, tarpaulins, tents, thread, monofilament fishing line,
dental floss
AZO-DYES
• Azo compounds:
- compounds bearing the functional group R-N=N-R',
in which R and R' can be either aryl or alkyl.
- N=N group is called an azo group
- HNNH is called diimide
• Aryl azo compounds have vivid colors, especially
reds, oranges, and yellows





Any material that is burned or altered to obtain energy and
to heat or to move an object
Its energy can be stored to be released only when needed,
and that the release is controlled in such a way that the
energy can be harnessed to produce work
Examples: Methane, petrol and oil.
Application of energy released from fuels:
- cooking
- powering weapons to combustion
- generation of electricity
Fuel oil: generate heat or used in an engine for the
generation of power
