Hydrocarbon Derivatives
• These are organic compounds that are based
on hydrocarbons with the addition of
specific functional groups
• A functional group is a reactive group of
atoms (eg. –OH)
• Due to the reactivity of the functional
groups, we can determine the physical and
chemical properties of compounds
• We also classify compounds based on these
groups
• We will now explore six groups of
hydrocarbon derivatives
ALCOHOLS
Alcohols
• An organic compound containing the
hydroxyl, –OH, functional group
• Have the general formula of R—OH
• The “R” represents the alkyl group
• Example:
CH3—CH2—OH
Three classes of Alcohols
• Primary Alcohol (1°) – the OH group is
bonded to a carbon that is only bonded to one
other carbon
• Secondary Alcohol (2°)– the OH group is
bonded to a carbon that is bonded to two other
carbon atoms
• Tertiary Alcohol (3°)– the OH group is
bonded to a carbon that is bonded to three
other carbon atoms
Naming Rules
1. Locate the longest carbon chain (must contain the
carbon attached to the –OH group.) Name the parent
alkane
2. Replace the –e at the end of the alkane name with –ol
3. Number the chain so that the –OH group has the lowest
number
4. Add a position number before the name of the root to
indicate the position of the –OH group
5. Name and number any branches (as you would for
alkanes)
6. Put it all together:
branches + root

• Name this alcohol and state whether it is
primary, secondary or tertiary.

ETHER
Ethers
• An organic compound that has two alkyl
groups joined by an oxygen atom
• Has the general formula of R—O—R`
• R and R` indicate two alkyl groups
• The can be the same or different
• Example:
CH3—CH2—O—CH3
How do we get to this?
• You can think of alcohols and ethers as
derivatives of water!

Rules for naming
Common Names
1. List the alkyl groups that are attached to
the oxygen atom, in order of increasing
length.
2. Place the suffix –ether at the end of the
name
No numbers are needed to show the location
of the oxygen atom!
Try it!
Name these ethers

CH3—CH2—CH2—CH2—O—CH2—CH3
ALDEHYDES
Aldehyde
• Contain a carbonyl functional group C=O
• Has the general formula R-CHO
• Have characteristic scents and tastes
• Example – Cinnamon or Formaldehyde
Naming Aldehydes
• The carbonyl group will always be on a
terminal carbon, thus there is no need to
give a position number
• Simply name the carbon chain; drop the
–e from the end and add –al; give the
C=O position 1
• Add branches (if any) as you have for all
others!

KETONES
Ketones
• Contain the carbonyl group C=O
• Has an alkyl group on either side of the C=O
• General formula R-CO-R`
Naming Ketones
• Find the longest carbon chain containing
C=O
• Number the chain so that C=O has lowest
number
• Drop the final –e from the alkane name and
add –one
• Name and add branches as you would for
alkanes

CARBOXYLIC ACIDS
Carboxylic Acids
• Contain a carboxyl group
O
||
—C—OH
• General formula of R—COOH
• Polar molecules
• Soluble in water
• Have high MP and BP
Naming Carboxylic Acids
• Name the parent alkane; drop the –e at the
end of the alkane name and add –oic acid
• Carboxyl group is always given position
one (no need to state this!)
• Name any branches as we do for alkanes

ESTERS
Esters
• Derivatives of carboxylic acids
• Contains the functional group
O

—C—O—
• General formula RCOOR`

• Example:

CH3—CH2—C—O—CH3
Naming Esters
• Choose the main part of the ester, containing
the C=O group. Name this as the parent acid.
• Replace the –oic acid with –oate
• Name the second part of the ester as an alkyl
group
• Put them together – alkyl group + parent acid
