Organic nomenclature part (1)
Chemicals compounds that contain the element Carbon are known as organic compounds. “Organic”
comes from the fact that until the mid 1800’s it was thought that these chemicals could only be derived
from living plant or animal components. In 1828 Friedrich Woher converted the inorganic ammonium
salt of cyanic acid into urea, which is an organic compound. Today hundreds of thousands of new
organic compounds are discovered each year.
With so many new carbon compounds being synthesized by research chemists each year, it
became very important to have a systematic method of naming these compounds. Today most
chemists use what is called the IUPAC system of nomenclature. (IUPAC standards for International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemists). This system gives you the names of the simple organic
compounds and then shows how to combine these names to represent the more complicated
compounds. The simple organic compound are called “hydrocarbons” because they contain only
carbon and hydrogen atoms. The simple groups of hydrocarbons are called the alkanes.
Alkanes consist of straight chains of carbon atoms bonded together. For our purposes today we
will consider derivatives of the first ten alkanes. These compounds are shown below.

*Note: When writing the symbols for organic compounds, chemists usually omit the Hydrogen atoms
from the structural formulas as shown above. Since some of the formulas can get quite complicated
we simply show each Hydrogen as a line extending from the Carbon atoms. The lines between the
Carbon atoms represent bonds that are holding the Carbon’s together.

Often, two or more of the alkanes shown above are joined together to form a compound consisting of
multiple chains. When naming compounds such as this we will name the shortest branch first,
however we will change the ending of the shortest branch to end in –yl, followed by the name of the
longest branch. We must also use a numeral to denote the position of the short branch on the longest
Carbon chain. Study the following examples:

ORGANIC NOMENCLATURE Part 2
In Part (I) you worked on naming simple organic compounds called alkanes. Some of these alkanes
were found with “side Chains” attached to the main Carbon chain. We will consider naming alkanes
that contain two or more side chains. The rules will be basically the same with only a few
modifications. Below is the chart that you will need to help you with today’s assignment.

Nomenclature Examples
In today’s work we will look at naming alkanes that have two or more side chains attached to the main
carbon chain. The same rules apply that we used in Part (1) however we will need to designate all
positions of the side chains with numerals. If two of the attached side chains are attached to the main
chain, the side chains are named in alphabetical order. The side chains are still assigned numerical
positions along the main chain starting with the end closest to the first branch regardless of the
alphabetical nature of the names of the groups. Examine the compounds shown below.
Directions: 1) highlight 2) circle 3) number in order to understand this page.
ι ι ι ι ι ι ι ι
Notice that we started assigning numerals at the left side
C-C-C-C--C-C-C-C
of the main 8 carbon chain. However, we named the ethyl
ι ι ι ι ι ι ι ι
group before the methyl group due to the alphabetical
-C- -Corder of ethyl and methyl
ι
-Cι
5-ethyl-3methyloctane
ι ι ι ι ι ι

2,4-dimethylhexane
-Cι ι ι ι ι ι ι
C-C-C-C--C-C-Cι ι ι ι ι ι ι
-C-
Here we have two groups that are exactly the same
attached to our main 6 carbon hexane chain. We must use
the numerals to denote the position of both of the methyl
groups. The name dimethyl hexane does not supply
adequate information to identify this compound.
In this case we started numbering our main carbon chain
on the right hand side because this was the side closest to
the first side branch. Again, the name dimethyl heptane
would not adequately describe this compound

ι
3,3,5-trimethyloctane
Here we begin numbering the 8 carbon chain at the left
which is closest to the first side chains. The dimethyl
groups are NOT alphabetized under “d” but for “m” for
methyl. Alphabetically, the dimethyl comes after the ethyl
and is thus named second.
Here we have three identical methyl groups and thus use
the prefix “tri”. We begin numbering the side chains at the
left which is the closest to the first methyl group.

3-ethyl-6methyloctane

Here octane is the longest carbon chain. By alphabetical
order we decided to name ethyl before methyl.

Preparation of: Alkanes are generally prepared from the refining of crude oil. Later, we will see that
they can also be obtained from alkenes and alkynes.
Reaction of: There are only two significant reactions of alkanes that we will consider: combustion and
halogenation.
Combustion:
Combustion involves the use of alkanes as fuel. In general, the alkane is mixed with oxygen and
burned producing carbon dioxide and water as the products. When this happens we refer to the process
as complete combustion. If not enough oxygen is present then incomplete combustion occurs producing
carbon monoxide and other complex products. We will always assume complete combustion occurs.
Generally:
flame
Hydrocarbon + x Oxygen -------> y Carbon dioxide + z Water
Examples:
flame
2C2H6 + 7O2 -------> 4CO2 + 6H2O
flame
C11H24 + 17O2 -------> 11CO2 + 12H2O
Halogenation:
Halogenation involves the substitution of an alkane’s hydrogen by an atom of any one of the
halogen atoms (F, Cl, etc). An alkane’s hydrogen is defined as a hydrogen bonded to a carbon atom
which has only single bonds to other carbon atoms or other hydrogens. The process requires ultraviolet
light to occur. The product is a haloalkane with one atom of halogen substituted into the alkane for each
molecule of halogen used. From each molecule of halogen used we also obtain one molecule of the
hydrogen halide (hydrohalogenic acid). This product is formed from the left over halogen atom and the
hydrogen atom removed during the substitution. In this reaction the substitution can occur at any alkane
hydrogen in the molecule so the student is free to choose which hydrogen atom(s) to substitute.
Generally:
Using X to represent any halogen
Alkane + nX2 -------> alkane-Xn + nHX
Examples:
CH4 + Br2 -------> CH3Br + HBr
CH4 + 4Br2 -------> CBr4 + 4HBr
Mechanism of the Substitution Process (Halogenation):
The sequence of steps involved in a chemical process is referred to as the mechanism. In
general, halogenation occurs as a four step process:
1.
The ultraviolet light photon collides with the halogen molecule and separates it into two
very reactive atoms.
2.
The halogen atom collides with an alkane carbon atom and bonds to it.
3.
The carbon atom now has five bonds making it unstable. One bond breaks. If it is the
carbon – halogen bond we return to the start and nothing has happened. If it is the
carbon – hydrogen bond, a substitution of halogen for hydrogen has occurred.
4.
The other halogen atom from step 1 combines with a removed hydrogen forming the
hydrogen halide.

Grignard Reactions with Aldehydes and Ketones All reactions of Grignard reagents are like
the carbon dioxide case: the R adds to the C of the carbonyl group and eventually - H to the O.
So from an aldehyde or ketone we can make an alcohol - either primary, secondary or tertiary.
The only difference between these three reactions is the number and nature of the group(s)
attached to the C=O.

Synthetic applications of highly
reactive organometallic reagents such
as alkyllithium (LiR) and Grignard
(RMgX). Sulfoxides (R2SO), for example,
are prepared by treating thionyl
chloride (SOCl2) with a Grignard
reagent.
Organic Synthesis
Organic synthesis is the process of changing an organic substance into a different organic
substance by organic chemical reactions. There are two major groups of organic syntheses that we will
study: single step processes and multistep processes.
Single Step Processes:
A single step process involves the use of only one chemical reaction to change a substance
belonging to a certain family into a new substance belonging to another family. You are already
familiar with many single step processes. You know, for example, that you can treat an alkane with a
halogen in the presence of ultra violet light and change it into a haloalkane. As another example, you
can treat an alkene with water and convert it into an alcohol. In essence, what we do is change a
certain functional group (ie, a double bond) into a different functional group (ie, C-OH).
Multistep Synthesis:

C
C
C
KOH
Br2
UV
C

Br
In this process, the goal is the same as with single step synthesis: to change a functional group in a
molecule into a different functional group. The difference with multistep synthesis is that it must be
done by a series of several chemical reactions instead of only one reaction. The reason for using a
series of steps is no single step is known for making the desired change. In the above example, the goal
is to change ethane into ethene. The problem is no known reaction will cause the desired change.
However, we do know how to change ethane into bromoethane and we also know how to change
bromoethane into ethene. If we link the two reactions, we can reach our goal.
In the laboratory we would react ethane with bromine in the presence of ultraviolet light, thus
forming bromoethane. We would collect and purify the product bromoethane and then react it with
potassium hydroxide forming the ethene and another product, potassium bromide. The process (ie.
Starting point and goal) is written in a horizontal line and then the individual steps are presented in a
loop below the overall process. To simplify the diagram, the non organic products (ie. Potassium
bromide) are omitted. If they are included, it can be confusing whether they are products from the
previous step or reactants fro the next step. The necessary reactants and conditions (ie. Br2, UV
&KOH) are generally written above or below the arrow(s). Our primary interest is in showing what
changes happen to the original molecule at each step in the process.

Haloalkanes
The reaction which characterizes the haloalkane family is that process which
eliminates the halogen atom(s) from the carbon atom of the chain.
The reaction would be represented as follows:
Haloalkane + KOH -----> alcohol + K-X ( X= halogen atom )
The reaction is most easily understood if you remember that there is generally a
difference in electronegativity between the halogen and the carbon atom ( C-Cl
difference is 0.5 ).
The result is that the halogen atom will be slightly negative compared to the
carbon atom. We can take advantage of this difference by adding something positive
to the reaction container. A substance found to be very effective in this process is the
potassium ion in potassium hydroxide (KOH) .
The positive potassium ion attaches to the halogen and helps to pull it off the
carbon chain. When the halogen atom separates from the chain, it will take the bonding
electrons with it ( because of its higher electronegativity ). The remaining carbon chain
now has a positive charge where the halogen atom used to be.
C-C-C-C-C + K+ ------> C-C-C-C-C + KBr
|
Br
This carbon chain ion must now react in such a way that the charge is
neutralized. The particle is then back to the neutral state of a stable molecule.
There are two ways in which this can happen. Which way actually occurs is
governed by the conditions under which the process is conducted.
We will simply assume that you can do whichever process you need to do.
The first possibility for what can happen is that the positive carbon atom can
collide with the negative hydroxide ion used to supply the potassium ion originally. If
this happens, the result is an alcohol.
A specific example would be:
C-C-C-C-C + KOH ------> C-C-C-C-C + KBr
|
|
Br
OH
The second possibility is a little more complicated:
Page
haloalkane + KOH -----> alkene + K-X + H-OH
41
A summary of the second process is:
Haloalkanes cont.
On a carbon chain, the hydrogen atoms are very slightly positive compared to the
carbon atoms. The electrons in the carbon atoms next to the positive carbon atom
which lost the halogen are drawn towards the positive carbon weakening the C-H
bond.

e---> <-- eThe hydroxide ion is then able to pull off the hydrogen atom of one of the carbon
atoms marked with the arrows (carbons #2 & #4 ) in the above diagram. The bonding
electrons are left behind on the more electronegative carbon atom. These electrons
can now be used to form a pi bond between the two C atoms giving an alkene product
and water.

PRODUCTION OF ALKYNES WITH THIS PROCESS:
If a haloalkane has two halogen atoms and two hydrogen atoms next door, it can
undergo the above second possibility twice ( given two KOH ) to form an alkyne
A summary of the this process is:
dihaloalkane + 2 KOH -----> alkyne + 2K-X + 2H-OH

REACTIONS OF ALKENE AND ALKYNES

a new atom to each of the original double-bonded carbons.

Reactions of alcohols
A. Oxidation
Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids by KMnO 4(or the ion
Cr2O7-2). The conditions under which the reaction is done determine the results. If everything is
kept cold, an aldehyde is produced from the corresponding primary alcohol and a ketone from
the secondary alcohol. If the reactants are heated, the primary alcohol (or the aldehyde) is
oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acid. Since an oxygen is double-bonded to its
functional group carbon in the products of this reaction, tertiary alcohols are not oxidized by this
process ( because they have three C-C bonds to the functional group carbon ). KMnO4 is not
reactive enough to break C-C bonds.

Naming Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen
Naming the alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids is easily accomplished by simply changing
the ending of the name. To change the ending, simply take the corresponding alkane name and drop the
“e” from the end. Then add the appropriate ending for one of the four families above. See the chart
below:
Family
alcohol
aldehyde
ketone
Carboxylic acid
Formal Name
alkanol
alkanal
alkanone
alkanoic acid
Ending
ol
al
one
oic acid
Example
1-propanol
propanal
2-propanone
propanoic acid
Note that since the aldehyde and carboxylic acid functional groups must be on the end of the longest chain
their locations are automatically at carbon number one and need not be specified.
For complicated molecules the ketone double bonded oxygen can be named as a substituent rather than as
a family functional group. In this case it is called “oxo”. The alcohol group can be name as a “hydroxyl”
substituent.
