Organic Chemistry
• Organic chemistry is the chemistry
of carbon compounds.
• Carbon has the ability to form long
chains.
• Without this property, large
biomolecules such as proteins,
lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic
acids could not form.

Structure of Carbon Compounds
• There are three hybridization states and
geometries found in organic compounds:
– sp3 Tetrahedral
– sp2 Trigonal planar
– sp Linear

Alkanes
• Alkanes contain only single bonds.
• They are also known as saturated
hydrocarbons.
– They are “saturated” with hydrogens.

Formulas
• Lewis structures of alkanes look like this.
• They are also called structural formulas.
• They are often not convenient, though…

Structure of Alkanes
• Carbons in alkanes are sp3 hybrids.
• They have a tetrahedral geometry and
109.5° bond angles.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Structure of Alkanes
• There are only bonds in alkanes.
• There is free
rotation about the
C—C bonds.

Isomers
Isomers have
the same
molecular
formulas, but the
atoms are
bonded in a
different order.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Organic Nomenclature
• There are three parts to a compound name:
– Base: This tells how many carbons are in the
longest continuous chain.

Organic Nomenclature
• There are three parts to a compound name:
– Base: This tells how many carbons are in the
longest continuous chain.
– Suffix: This tells what type of compound it is.

Organic Nomenclature
• There are three parts to a compound name:
– Base: This tells how many carbons are in the
longest continuous chain.
– Suffix: This tells what type of compound it is.
– Prefix: This tells what groups are attached to the
chain.

How to Name a Compound
1. Find the longest chain in
the molecule.
2. Number the chain from
the end nearest the first
substituent encountered.
3. List the substituents as a
prefix along with the
number(s) of the
carbon(s) to which they
are attached.

How to Name a Compound
If there is more than
one type of
substituent in the
molecule, list them
alphabetically.

Cycloalkanes
• Carbon can also form ringed structures.
• Five- and six-membered rings are most stable.
– They can take on conformations in which their bond
angles are very close to the tetrahedral angle.
– Smaller rings are quite strained.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Reactions of Alkanes
• Alkanes are rather unreactive due to
the presence of only C—C and C—H
-bonds.
• Therefore, they make great nonpolar
solvents.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Alkenes
• Alkenes contain at least one carbon–carbon
double bond.
• They are unsaturated.
– That is, they have fewer than the maximum number of
hydrogens.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Structure of Alkenes
• Unlike alkanes, alkenes cannot rotate freely
about the double bond.
– The side-to-side overlap in the -bond makes this
impossible without breaking the -bond.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Structure of Alkenes
This creates
geometric isomers,
which differ from
each other in the
spatial arrangement
of groups about the
double bond.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Properties of Alkenes
Structure also affects the physical properties
of alkenes.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Nomenclature of Alkenes
• The chain is numbered so the double bond gets the
smallest possible number.
• cis-Alkenes have the carbons in the chain on the
same side of the molecule.
• trans-Alkenes have the carbons in the chain on
opposite sides of the molecule.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Reactions of Alkenes
• One reaction of alkenes is the addition
reaction.
– In it, two atoms (e.g., bromine) add across the
double bond.
– One -bond and one -bond are replaced by two
-bonds; therefore, H is negative.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Mechanism of Addition Reactions
• It is a two-step mechanism:
– The first step is the slow, rate-determining
step.
– The second step is fast.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Mechanism of Addition Reactions
In the first step, the
-bond breaks and
the new C—H
bond and a cation
form.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Mechanism of Addition Reactions
In the second step,
a new bond forms
between the
negative bromide
ion and the positive
carbon.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Alkynes
• Alkynes contain at least one carbon–carbon triple
bond.
• The carbons in the triple bond are sp-hybridized
and have a linear geometry.
• They are also unsaturated.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Nomenclature of Alkynes
4-methyl-2-pentyne
• The method for naming alkynes is analogous
to the naming of alkenes.
• However, the suffix is -yne rather than -ene.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Reactions of Alkynes
• Alkynes undergo many of the same reactions
alkenes do.
• As with alkenes, the impetus for reaction is
the replacement of -bonds with -bonds.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons
• Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons that
have some particular features.
• There is a p-orbital on each atom.
– The molecule is planar.
• There is an odd number of electron pairs in the system.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Aromatic Nomenclature
Many aromatic
hydrocarbons are
known by their
common names.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Reactions of Aromatic Compounds
• In aromatic
compounds, unlike
in alkenes and
alkynes, each pair of
-electrons does not
sit between two
atoms.
• Rather, the
electrons are
delocalized; this
stabilizes aromatic
Organic and
compounds.
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Reactions of Aromatic Compounds
• Due to this stabilization, aromatic compounds
do not undergo addition reactions; they
undergo substitution.
• In substitution reactions, hydrogen is
replaced by a substituent.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Structure of Aromatic Compounds
• Two substituents on a benzene ring could
have three possible relationships:
– ortho-: On adjacent carbons.
– meta-: With one carbon between them.
– para-: On opposite sides of ring.

Reactions of Aromatic Compounds
Halogenation
Friedel-Crafts Reaction

Functional Groups
The term functional
group is used to
refer to parts of
organic molecules
where reactions
tend to occur.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Alcohols
• Alcohols contain one or more hydroxyl groups,
—OH.
• They are named
from the parent
hydrocarbon; the
suffix is changed to
-ol and a number
designates the
carbon to which the
hydroxyl is
attached.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Alcohols
• Alcohols are much
more acidic than
hydrocarbons.
– pKa ~15 for most
alcohols.
– Aromatic alcohols
have pKa ~10.

Ethers
• Ethers tend to be quite unreactive.
• Therefore, they are good polar solvents.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Carbonyl Compounds
• The carbonyl group
is a carbon-oxygen
double bond.
• Carbonyl
compounds include
many classes of
compounds.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Aldehydes
In an aldehyde, at
least one hydrogen
is attached to the
carbonyl carbon.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Ketones
In ketones, there
are two carbons
bonded to the
carbonyl carbon.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Carboxylic Acids
• Acids have a
hydroxyl group
bonded to the
carbonyl group.
• They are tart tasting.
• Carboxylic acids are
weak acids.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Esters
• Esters are the
products of
reactions
between
carboxylic acids
and alcohols.
• They are found in
many fruits and
perfumes.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

by the reaction of
carboxylic acids with
amines.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Amines
• Amines are organic bases.
• They generally have strong, unpleasant
odors.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Chirality
• Carbons with four different groups attached to
them are handed, or chiral.
• These are optical isomers or stereoisomers.
• If one stereoisomer is “right-handed,” its
enantiomer is “left-handed.”
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Chirality
S-ibuprofen
• Many pharmaceuticals are chiral.
• Often only one enantiomer is clinically
active.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Amino Acids and Proteins
• Proteins are polymers
of -amino acids.
• A condensation
reaction between the
amine end of one
amino acid and the
acid end of another
produces a peptide
bond.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Amino Acids and Proteins
• Hydrogen bonding in
peptide chains causes
coils and helices in the
chain.
• Kinking and folding of
the coiled chain gives
proteins a
characteristic shape.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Amino Acids and Proteins
• Most enzymes are
proteins.
• The shape of the
active site
complements the
shape of the substrate
on which the enzyme
acts; hence, the “lockand-key” model. Organic and

Carbohydrates
Simple sugars are
polyhydroxy
aldehydes or ketones.
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Carbohydrates
• In solution, they form
cyclic structures.
• These can form chains
of sugars that form
structural molecules
such as starch and
cellulose.

Nucleic Acids
Two of the building blocks of
RNA and DNA are sugars
(ribose or deoxyribose) and
cyclic bases (adenine,
guanine, cytosine, and
thymine or uracil).
Organic and
Biological
Chemistry

Nucleic Acids
These combine with
a phosphate to form
a nucleotide.
