Pre-AP Chemistry Charles Page High School Stephen L. Cotton

Section 23.1 - Introduction to Functional Groups  OBJECTIVES:

–Explain how organic compounds are classified.

Section 23.1 - Introduction to Functional Groups  OBJECTIVES:

–Identify halocarbons and the IUPAC rules for naming halocarbons.

Section 23.1 - Introduction to Functional Groups  OBJECTIVES:

–Describe how halocarbons can be prepared.

Functional Groups  Most

organic chemistry involves substituents –often contain O, N, S, or P –also called “functional groups”they are the chemically functional part of the molecule, and are the non-hydrocarbon part

Functional Groups  Functional

group - a specific arrangement of atoms in an organic compound, that is capable of characteristic chemical reactions. –What is the best way to classify organic compounds? By their

functional groups.

Functional Groups  The

symbol “R” is used to represent any carbon chains or rings

 Important:

Table 23.1, page 726 - shows some of the major categories, and their functional groups - KNOW THESE.  Table 23.2, p. 727 - alkyl groups

Halogen Substituents  Halocarbons - class of organic compounds containing covalently bonded fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine –General formula: R-X (X = halogen)  Naming?

Name parent as normal, add the halogen as a substituent (or prefix) - Examples on page 726

Halogen Substituents  Common

names…p.726  The more highly halogenated the compound is, the higher the b.p. (see Table 23.3, page 728)  Few halocarbons found in nature –but, readily prepared and used –halothane (Fig. 23.3, p.727) and also the hydrofluorocarbons

Substitution Reactions  Organic

reactions often much slower than inorganic reactions –must break strong covalent bond –trying to find new catalysts to use  Substitution - an atom (or group of atoms) replaces another atom or group of atoms

Substitution Reactions A

halogen (shown as “X”) can replace a hydrogen to make a halocarbon: R-H + X2  R-X + HX  Sunlight is often a sufficient catalyst: UV light

CH4 + Cl2

→

CH3Cl + HCl

Substitution Reactions  Treating

benzene with a halogen? Examples on Page 729  Halogens on carbon chains are readily displaced by hydroxide ions (OH1-) to make an alcohol + a salt: R-X + OH1-  R-OH + X1CH3-Cl + NaOH  CH3-OH + Methanol + sodium chloride NaCl

Substitution Reactions CH3-I + KOH  CH3-OH + KI Iodomethane

Methanol

CH3CH2Br + NaOH  CH3CH2OH + NaBr Bromoethane

Ethanol

Section 23.2 Alcohols and Ethers  OBJECTIVES:

–Identify how alcohols are classified and named.

Section 23.2 Alcohols and Ethers  OBJECTIVES:

–Predict how the solubility of an alcohol varies with the length of its carbon chain.

Section 23.2 Alcohols and Ethers  OBJECTIVES:

–Name the reactions of alkenes that may be used to introduce functional groups.

Section 23.2 Alcohols and Ethers  OBJECTIVES:

–Construct the general structure of an ether and describe how ethers are named.

Alcohols  Alcohols

- a class of organic compounds with an -OH group –The -OH functional group in alcohols is called a “hydroxyl” group; thus R-OH is the formula

 How

is this different from the hydroxide ion? (covalent bonding with the carbon- not ionic with a metal like bases)

Alcohols  Aliphatic

alcohols classified into categories according to the number of R groups attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl –1 R group: primary alcohol –2 R groups: secondary alcohol –3 R groups: tertiary alcohol  Note drawings on page 730

Alcohols  Both

IUPAC and common names  For IUPAC: –drop the -e ending of the parent alkane name; add ending of -ol, number the position of -OH –parent is the longest chain that contains the carbon with the hydroxyl attached.

Alcohols  The hydroxyl is given the lowest position number  Alcohols containing 2, 3, and 4 of the -OH substituents are named diols, triols, and tetrols respectively –Examples on page 731

Alcohols  Common names: –similar to halocarbons, meaning name the alkyl group, then followed by the word alcohol –One carbon alcohol = methyl alcohol

Alcohols  More

than one -OH substituents are called glycols (ethylene glycol?)  ** Examples on page 731 **  Phenols - compounds in which a hydroxyl group is attached directly to an aromatic ring. Cresol is the common name of o, m, and p isomers of methylphenol

Properties of Alcohols  Much

like water, alcohols are capable of hydrogen bonding between molecules –this means they will boil at a higher temp. than alkanes and halocarbons with a comparable number of atoms

Properties of Alcohols  Alcohols

are derivates of water; the -OH comes from water, and thus are somewhat soluble  Alcohols of up to 4 carbons are soluble in water in all proportions; more than 4 carbons are usually less soluble, because the longer carbon chain is more nonpolar

Properties of Alcohols  Many

aliphatic alcohols used in laboratories, clinics, and industry –Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) is rubbing alcohol; used as antiseptic, and a base for perfume, creams, lotions, and other cosmetics  Ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol) commonly sold as “antifreeze”

Properties of Alcohols  Glycerol

(1,2,3-propanetriol) used as a moistening agent in cosmetics, foods, and drugs; also a component of fats and oils  Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) used in the intoxicating beverages; also an important industrial solvent

Properties of Alcohols  Denatured

alcohol- means it

has been made poisonous by the addition of other chemicals, often methyl alcohol (methanol, or wood alcohol).  As little as 10 mL of methanol has been known to cause permanent blindness, and 30 ml has resulted in death!

Addition Reactions  The

carbon-carbon single bond is not easy to break  In double bonded alkenes, it is easier to break a bond  Addition reaction- substance is added at the double or triple bond location, after it is broken

Addition Reactions  Addition

of water to an alkene is a hydration reaction - usually occurs with heat and an acid (such as HCl or H2SO4 acting as a catalyst)  Note sample at top of page 734 for the formation of ethanol from ethene + water

Addition Reactions  If

a halogen is added in an addition reaction, the result is a halocarbon that is disubstituted - middle p. 734  The addition of bromine is often used as a test for saturation - p.734  Addition of a hydrogen halide? called monosubstituted halocarbon

Addition Reactions  Addition

of hydrogen to produce an alkane is a hydrogenation reaction, which usually involves a catalyst such as Pt or Pd –common application is the manufacture of margarine from unsaturated vegetable oils (making them solid from a liquid)

Addition Reactions  The

hydrogenation of a double bond is a reduction reaction, which in one sense is defined as the “gain of H”  Top- page 735, ethene is “reduced” to ethane; cyclohexene is “reduced” to cyclohexane

Ethers A

class of organic compounds in which oxygen is bonded to 2 carbon groups: R-O-R is formula  Naming? The two R groups are alphabetized, and followed by ether  Two R groups the same? Use the prefix diExamples on page 735

Ethers  Diethyl

ether is the one commonly called just “ether” –was the first reliable general anesthetic –dangerous- highly flammable, also causes nausea  ethers are fairly soluble in water  Alcohol used for fuel in the future?

Section 23.3 Carbonyl Compounds  OBJECTIVES:

–Identify the structure of a carbonyl group as found in aldehydes and ketones.

Section 23.3 Carbonyl Compounds  OBJECTIVES:

–Construct the general formula for carboxylic acids and explain how they are named.

Section 23.3 Carbonyl Compounds  OBJECTIVES:

–Describe an ester.

Section 23.3 Carbonyl Compounds  OBJECTIVES:

–Explain how dehydrogenation is an oxidation reaction.

Aldehydes and Ketones  Review:

–alcohol has an oxygen bonded to a carbon group and a hydrogen –ether has an oxygen bonded to two carbon groups  An

oxygen can also be bonded to a single carbon by a double bond

Aldehydes and Ketones  The

C=O group is called the “carbonyl group” –it is the functional group in both aldehydes and ketones  Aldehydes - carbonyl group always ed to at least one hydrogen (meaning it is always on the end!)

Aldehydes and Ketones  Ketones - the carbon of the carbonyl group is ed to two other carbons (meaning it is never on the end)  Structures - bottom of page 737

Aldehydes and Ketones  Naming?

–Aldehydes: identify longest chain containing the carbonyl group, then the -e ending replaced by -al, such as methanal, ethanal, etc. –Ketones: longest chain w/carbonyl, then new ending of -one; number it?  propanone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone

Aldehydes and Ketones  Table

23.4, page 738 examples  Neither can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, thus a much lower b.p. than corresponding alcohols  wide variety have been isolated from plants and animals; possible fragrant odor or taste; many common names

Aldehydes and Ketones  Benzaldehyde  Cinnamaldehyde  Vanillin  Methanal

(the common name is: formaldehyde) –40% in water is formalin, a preservative

Aldehydes and Ketones  Propanone

(common: acetone) is a good solvent; miscible with water in all proportions  why is it a good substance used in nail-polish removers? (a powerful solvent-able to dissolve both polar & nonpolar)

The Carboxylic Acids…  Also

have a carbonyl group (C=O), but is also attached to a hydroxyl group (-OH) = “carboxyl” group  general formula: R-COOH –weak acids (ionize slightly)  Named by replacing -e with -oic and followed by the word acid  methanoic acid; ethanoic acid

Carboxylic Acids  Abundant

and widely distributed in nature, many having a Greek or Latin word describing their origin –acetic acid (ethanoic acid) from acetum, meaning vinegar –many that were isolated from fats are called fatty acids  Table 23.6 page 741

The Esters…  General

formula: RCOOR  Derivatives of the carboxylic acids, in which the -OH from the carboxyl group is replaced by an -OR from an alcohol: carboxylic acid + alcohol  ester + water  many

esters have pleasant, fruity odors- banana, pineapple, perfumes

Esters  Although

polar, they do not form hydrogen bonds (reason: there is no hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom!) –thus, much lower b.p. than the hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acids they came from

Esters  Can be prepared from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol; usually a trace of mineral acid added as catalyst (because acids are dehydrating agents)  Note equation on bottom p. 742

Esters  Naming?

It has 2 words: –1st: alkyl attached to single bonded oxygen from alcohol –2nd: take the acid name, remove the -ic acid, add -ate  example on top of page 743

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  All

of the previous classes of organic compounds are related by oxidation and reduction reactions  What is oxidation-reduction? –Oxidation: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen, or loss of e-1 –Reduction: the loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen, or gain of e-1

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  Oxidation

and reduction reactions (sometimes called redox) are coupled- one does not occur without the other  The number of Oxygen and Hydrogen attached to Carbon indicates the degree of oxidation

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  The

fewer the # of H on a C-C bond, the more oxidized the bond

–Thus, a triple bond is more oxidized than a double bond and a single bond  An alkane is oxidized (loss of H) to an alkene, and then to an alkyne

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  Loss

of hydrogen is called a dehydrogenation reaction –may require strong heating and a catalyst  Note equations at the top on page 744

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  Methane

can be oxidized in steps to carbon dioxide (middle p. 744): methane  methanol  methanal  methanoic acid  CO2

 the

more reduced (more H) a carbon compound, the more energy it can release upon oxidation

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  Alcohols

can also be oxidized into other products  “Dr. Al K. Hall  Mr. Al D. Hyde”  Equations middle of page 745  Preparing aldehydes from a primary alcohol is a problem, because they are then easily oxidized to carboxylic acids

Oxidation- Reduction Reactions  Benedict’s

test and Fehling’s test are commonly used for aldehyde detection – Figure 23.19 p. 745

Section 23.4 Polymerization  OBJECTIVES:

–Describe how addition polymers are formed.

Section 23.4 Polymerization  OBJECTIVES:

–Describe how condensation polymers are formed.

Addition Polymers  Polymers

are giant molecules, not small like the ones studied earlier in this chapter –examples are plastics  Polymer- large molecule formed by the covalent bonding of smaller molecules called monomers

Polymers from Monomers

Addition Polymers  An

addition polymer forms when unsaturated monomers react to form a polymer –ethene will form polyethylene, shown on page 747 –polyethylene is easy to clean, chemically resistant- milk bottles, plastic wrap, refrigerator dishes

High Density Polyethylene

Addition Polymers  Polypropylene

is a stiffer polymer, used in utensils and containers  Polystyrene is formed from styrene (phenylethene), and is a poor heat conductor (styrofoam ® Dow Chemical) –molded coffee cups and picnic coolers, insulates homes  Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used for pipes in plumbing

Addition Polymers  Polytetrafluoroethene

(PTFE, or teflon ® DuPont) is very resistant to heat and chemical corrosion –found on nonstick cookware; coating on bearings and bushings used in chemical reactors

Condensation Polymers  Condensation

polymers are formed by the head-to-tail ing of monomer units –usually accompanied by the loss of water from the reacting monomers, and forming water as a product

Condensation Polymers  Ex:

polyethylene terephthalate (PET) –Dacron (® DuPont), Fortrel (® Wellman), Polyesters: permanent press clothing, tire cords –Sheets of polyester called Mylar (® DuPont), used as magnetic tape in tape recorders and computers, as well as balloons –Nylon: carpet, fishing line, hosiery

Condensation Polymers  Examples:

–aromatic rings form Nomex (® DuPont), which is a poor electrical conductor; makes parts for electrical fixtures; flame resistant clothing for race car drivers; flame resistant building materials –Kevlar (® DuPont): strong and flame resistant
