ORGANIC FUNCTIONAL
GROUPS AND NOMENCLATURE
ALKYL GROUPS
• An alkyl group is an unbranched alkane
with a hydrogen atom removed from
the terminal, or end, carbon.
• To name the alkyl group, replace the –
ane ending of the unbranched alkane
with –yl.
• Thus, if you take one hydrogen from
CH4, it becomes —CH3, and the name
changes from methane to methyl.

ALKYL GROUPS ANIMATION
•
• Carbon atoms are classified as primary, secondary, tertiary, or
quaternary based on the number of non-hyrogen groups attached to
the sp3 carbon.
• The hydrogen atoms attached to these carbon atoms are given the
same designation.
Primary,secondary and tertiary
carbon atoms
• Organic compounds often
contain functional groups
bonded on to different types
of carbon chains.
• These can often be usefully
distinguished using the terms
primary,secondary and
tertiary.
• Primary means that the
carbonthat the functional
group is joined to is bonded to
only one other carbon atom
• Secondary means that it is
bondedto two other carbon
atoms
• Tertiary three other carbon
atoms.

DRAWING PROPYL GROUPS IN A VARIETY
OF ORIENTATIONS
 The skeletal structural formulas shown




here are intended to emphasize the fact
that the n-propyl and isopropyl groups
can be drawn in a variety of orientations.
It is not the way that the Cs are drawn
that makes the difference.
It is the location of the bond to
something else that distinguishes npropyl from isopropyl.
Starting from the bonding point in a
normal propyl group there is a
continuous string of three carbon atoms.
Starting from the bond point in an
isopropyl group the three carbon atoms
are not continuous, instead they are
branched.
n-propyl
isopropyl
BUTYL GROUPS
The next set of alkyl groups contains four carbons. That is why they are called
butyl groups. There are four types of butyl groups each with a different
combination of carbon chain and bonding point.
The first one is a straight chain with an
H missing from the end and is called a
normal butyl group (or n-butyl group).
The next one is iso-butyl (usually
spelled isobutyl). It has a branched
chain at the end opposite where it
attaches to something else.
There is also a secondary-butyl which
is often referred to as sec-butyl. Its
structural arrangement is shown here.
Also, tertiary-butyl (also called tertbutyl or t-butyl) has a fourth kind of
arrangement as shown.

TRIVIAL(COMMON) AND IUPAC NAMES OF
COMMON ALKYL GROUPS
PENTYL GROUPS
There are eight different pentyl groups (-C5H11), but only
four of these have trivial names. These four are shown
above.
ALKYL GROUP
• Note that an alkyl group (CnH2n+1, like an
alkane with one H removed) can be
represented by R.
• Thus alcohols (which contain the
hydroxyl group — OH) can be
represented as ROH.
• Similarly the benzene ring can be
represented as so that phenol (a
benzene ring with an — OH attached) is
represented as
ALKENYL GROUP
• An alkenyl group is a hydrocarbon
group formed when a hydrogen atom is
removed from an alkene group.
• Alkenyl compounds are named by
replacing the -e from the parent
alkene's name with -yl.
• H2C=CH- (ethenyl or commonly known
as vinyl). The parent alkene was
H2C=CH2, ethene.
ALKYNYL GROUP
• An alkynyl group is a hydrocarbon
group formed when a hydrogen atom is
removed from an alkyne group.
• Alkenyl compounds are named by
replacing the -e from the parent
alkyne's name with -yl.
• ethynyl group, H C  C  derived from
ethyne, H C  C H is also called
ethynyl radical.
AROMATICS (ARENES)
• Arenes are cyclic hydrocarbons that contain three
single bonds and three double bonds conjugated in
a six-carbon ring.
• Arenes are usually derived from benzene.
• Another commonly used name for arenes is
aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Arenes are cyclic hydrocarbons with alternating
single and double bonds.
• Aromatic hydrocarbons are arenes based on
benzene.
BENZENE DERIVATIVES
• The nomenclature of substituted benzene ring
compounds is less systematic than that of the
alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
• A few mono-substituted compounds are named by
using a group name as a prefix to "benzene", as
shown by the combined names listed below.
• A majority of these compounds, however, are
referred to by singular names that are unique.
• There is no simple alternative to memorization in
mastering these names.
BENZENE DERIVATIVES
ARYL GROUP
• aryl group , in chemistry, group of atoms
derived from benzene or from a benzene
derivative by removing one hydrogen
that is bonded to the benzene ring.
• The simplest aryl group is phenyl, C6H5 ;
it is derived from benzene.

FORMATION OF ALKANES AND ARENES
Alkyl, Alkenyl, Alkynyl and Aryl groups are not stable enough to exist
as alone.
• Their tendency is to join other groups and this bonding tendency is
the basis of synthetic organic chemistry.
• When alkyl groups join with each other alkanes will form:
CH3-CH3
CH3CH2-CH2CH3 CH3CH2- CH2CH2CH3
•
Ethane
Butane
Pentane
• When alkyl groups joined to aryl groups arenes will form. When we are
naming arenes (aromatic hydrocarbons) first the name of alkyl group is
said then the word benzene is added:
CH3
Methylbenzene ( Toluene )
C2H5
Ethylbenzene
FORMATION OF POLYCYCLIC ARENES
• When aryl groups join to each other
polycyclic arenes (polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons) will form.These
compounds are named by using their
common names.

bond would be between the carbons with the lowest designated
number.

NAMING ALKENES
NAMING ALKENES
FORMATION OF ALKYNES
• When alkyl groups join to alkynyl groups alkynes will
form.
• For example: ethyl (C2H5-) and propynyl (CH  C – CH2 -)
groups joined to each other 1-pentyne will form:
1
2 3
4
5
CH  C – CH2 – CH2 – CH3
NAMING ALKYNES
1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon
atoms that contains the carbon-carbon triple bond.
The parent name of the alkyne comes from the
IUPAC name for the alkane of the same number of
carbon atoms, except the - ane ending is changed to
- yne to signify the presence of a triple bond. Thus, if
the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms
containing a triple bond has five atoms, the
compound is pentyne.
2. Number the carbon atoms of the longest continuous
chain, starting at the end closest to the triple bond.
Thus,
is numbered from right to left, placing the triple bond
between the second and third carbon atoms of the
chain. (Numbering the chain from left to right
incorrectly places the triple bond between the third
and fourth carbons of the chain.)
Naming Alkynes
3. The position of the triple bond is indicated by placing
the lower of the pair of numbers assigned to the triplebonded carbon atoms in front of the name of the
alkyne. Thus the compound shown in rule 2 is 2pentyne.
4. The location and name of any substituent atom or
group is indicated. For example, the compound
is 5-chloro-2-hexyne.
ALKYL HALIDES AND ALCOHOLS
• When halogens and alkyl groups join to each
other alkyl halides will form.
• In the functional groups table - I we can see
ethyl bromide as an example of an alkyl halide.
• Similarly when hydroxide and alkyl groups join
to each other alcohols will form.
• In the functional groups table - I we can see
propyl alcohol or propanol (C3H7 - OH) as a
combination of a propyl (C3H7 -) and hydroxide
(- OH) groups.When we are naming alcohols in
common naming syste,first the name of alkyl
group is written than the family name alcohol is
added.
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
• Alkyl groups can also join with halogens and
other atoms or atom groups to form organic
ompounds other than hydrocarbons.
• Groups that are joined to alkyl grous which have
tendency to react chemically are called
Functional Groups.
• Functional groups will be represented in a table
in the next two slides. The R, R',R1,R2,R3 and R4
written as bold represent different alkyl groups.
• But R not written as bold are generally represent
alkyl groups and in some special cases it may
be hydrogen,H.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HETEROATOMIC
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
• Heteroatomic groups like hydroxide
(- OH), formyl(- CHO) and caboxyl(-COOH) can join to alkyl
groups.
• The physical properties of these heteroatomic compounds
are different than that of hydrocarbons having the same
number of carbon atoms.
• Due to changes in intermolecular forces based on
mass,volume and polarity changes) physical properties will
change.
• Alcohols,aldehydes and carboylic acids have higher melting
and boiling points than alkyl halides having the same number
of carbon atoms due to addition of hydrogen bonding to
dipole-dipole interactions.(Remember hydrogen bonding is
stronger interaction than dipole-dipole forces.)

acids do not dissolve in water since hydrophobes are
nonpolar molecules.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF HETEROATOMIC
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
• When heteroatoms are joined to alkyl groups
chemical reactivity will be greater than the
hydrocarbons having the same number of carbon
atoms.
• Saturated hydrocabons(Alkanes) can only give
substitution and combustion reactions.
• Alkenes and Alkynes are more reactive than
alkanes due to existance of pi bonding.So they can
also give addition reactions.
• Heteroatomic organic compounds can give other
types of reactions due to polar character of
heteroatomic part.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF HETEROATOMIC

• Funcional groups can be cations and anions in chemical
reactions.
• Acetyl group in the compound H3C – CO – Cl act as a

NAMING OF DIOLS AND TRIOLS
• Diols, hydroxyaldehydes ,
hydroxyketones,dicarbonyls,hydroxyacids,ketoacids and
dicarboxylic acids are the examples of organic compunds having
more than one functional groups.
• Diols (glycols) have two hydroxide (-OH) groups but triols
(glycerine) have three hydroxide groups.
• When naming these compounds the longest continuous chain
having hydroxide groups is chosen and numbering should start
from the end closer to hydroxide group.
• After writing the numbers of carbon atoms bonded to hydroxide
groups a hyphen is drawn and then the name of the hydrocarbon is
written according to the number of carbon atoms in the longest
chain.
• Finally the word diol or triol is added if the molecule has two or
three hydroxide groups respectively.

CONDENSED STRUCTURAL
FORMULAS
• Chemical structures may be written in more compact
forms, particularly when showing organic molecules.
• In condensed structural formulas, many or even all
of the covalent bonds may be left out, with
subscripts indicating the number of identical groups
attached to a particular atom.
• Two varieties of condensed structural formula, both
showing butane:
SKELETAL ( BOND-LINE ) FORMULA
• Another shorthand structural diagram is the skeletal
formula (also known as a bond-line formula or
carbon skeleton diagram).
• In skeletal formulae, carbon atoms are not signified
by the symbol C but by the vertices of the lines.
• Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are not shown —
they can be inferred by counting the number of
bonds to a particular carbon atom — each carbon is
assumed to have four bonds in total, so any bonds
not shown are, by implication, to hydrogen atoms.
• A skeletal diagram of butane:
SKELETAL ( BOND-LINE ) FORMULA
• For example, in the image below, the skeletal
formula of hexane is shown.
• The carbon atom labelled C1 has only one bond
shown to it, so there must also be three hydrogens
bonded to it, in order to make its total number of
bonds four.
• The carbon atom labelled C3 has two bonds to other
carbons and is therefore bonded to two hydrogen
atoms as well.
BALL-AND-STICK MODEL
• A ball-and-stick model of the actual molecular
structure of hexane, as determined by X-ray
crystallography, is shown for comparison, in which
carbon atoms are depicted as black balls and
hydrogen atoms as white ones.

MODELS
• Shown below for comparison are a ball-and-stick
model of the actual three-dimensional structure of
the ethanol molecule in the gas phase (determined
by microwave spectroscopy, left), the Lewis
structure (centre) and the skeletal formula (right).
