Organic Chemistry Flashcards
Aldehyde
=O off last carbon with Hydrogen on end
Ending ‘al’
Ketone
=O off carbon
Ending ‘one’
Ester
-O next to =O off a carbon
Ending ‘yl …‘oate’
Primary amine
R - N - H2 (always at the end of the molecule)
Secondary Amine
R’ - NH - R (middle of molecule with single H atom)
Tertiary Amine
R’ - N - R
|
R”
Amide
Carboxylic Acid + Amine
R - C = O - NH - R’
Haloalkane
Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Bromine
Ether
C - O - C
Oxidise Primary Alcohol
Carboxylic Acid
Oxidise Secondary Alcohol
Ketone
Oxidise Tertiary Alcohol
No product - cannot be oxidised
Cyclic Ring
“Cyclohexane”
“Cyclopentane”
Carbons in a shaped ring with two Hydrogens off each carbon
Boiling Point Trends
Increase as intermolecular force strength increases
Increase with increase in carbon chain length
Decreases with increase in branching
Volatity
Tendency to be vaporised
Increases with decreased strength of intermolecular forces (lower boiling point)
