25
Organohalogen compounds are
Organic compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms
26
Alcohols & Ethers are both
Derivatives of water
27
1 hydrogen on water molecule replaced gives an _____ 2 hydrogen_____
Alcohol Ether
28
What is the generic formula of alcohol
ROH
29
Alcohols contain no _____ & are therefore
No hydroxide ion Not a strong base
30
Hydroxyl group of alcohols is
Highly polar
31
Aromatic alcohols are called
Phenols, which are also known as carbolic acid
32
A simple phenol is
Polar due to the hydroxyl group Complex phenols are not water soluble
33
Ethers have the genetic formula
ROR
34
Ethers are a bridge between
2 alkyl groups, which may be the same or different
35
Ethers are
Inert & do not react with oxidizing or reducing agents, so they are used as solvents
36
Amines are derivatives of
Ammonia Only 1 or 2 of the 3 R groups may be hydrogen
37
All amines have a
Lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen
38
Amines can form
Hydrogen bonds & are more soluble in water
39
The hydrogen bonds formed by amines in the nucleic acids
Play an important role in the genetic code Control DNA synthesis, transcription & protein synthesis
40
What are examples of amines
DA, Epi, NE, 5HT & histamine
41
By controlling the pH of a medium, you can
Control the solubility
42
Amines are weak
Bases because they will accept the proton from a strong acid to form its conjugate acid
43
Carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a
Carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom Strong bond & occurs frequently Polar with the oxygen being more electrically negative
44
What is the key component of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters & amides?
Carbonyl group
45
The simplest carbonyl groups are
Aldehydes & ketones
46
Aldehydes have an alkyl ground & a hydrogen atom bonded to a
Carbonyl group
47
Ketones have
2 alkyl groups bonded to a carbonyl group
48
The naming position of the keto carbon group is indicated by the
Locant number
49
What builds up in the bloodstream from excessive fat metabolism?
Ketone/Acetone
50
Oxidation is the
LOSS of electrons Increasing the number of bonds to oxygen which usually accompanies decreasing the number of bonds to hydrogen
51
Ketones have a
Sweet taste & odor
52
Reduction is the
GAINING of electrons The number of bonds to oxygen decreases or the number of bonds to hydrogen increases
53
Oxidation may be manifested by an
Increase in ionic charge
54
Acetal & Ketal formation play a role in
Monosaccharides & polysaccharides
55
Carboxylic acid is combined with an
Alcohol & Ester
56
Esters have a
Fruity smell
57
Adding ____to an ester causes ______reaction which separates an ester back into a carboxylic acid & an alcohol
Water Hydrolysis
58
What is the most important Amide?
Protein
59
Esters can easily combine & break down making them
Perfect reactions to bind fatty acids
60
Proteins are binded together by
Amide bonds
61
What do Amide bonds require for a reaction
Strong conditions (makes proteins durable)
62
What are used to form long chains of amino acids
Peptide bonds
