Q

Markovnikov’s rule

A

the rule for predicting the products of addition reactions: when a hydrogen halide or water is added to an alkene, the hydrogen atom generally bonds to the carbon atom within the double bond that already has more hydrogen atoms bonded to it

Q

1.2 review

A
  • An alkene is a hydrocarbon that has at least one double bond between 2
    carbon atoms. The carbon chain is numbered using the lowest number for the
    double bond. The root name ends in -ene.
  • An alkyne is a hydrocarbon that has at least one triple bond between 2 carbon
    atoms. Naming alkynes is similar to naming alkenes. The root name ends in -yne.
  • Cis and trans isomers are compounds that are identical except for the position
    of groups on either side of a double bond. In cis isomers, the groups are
    located on the same side of the double bond. In trans isomers, the groups are
    located on opposite sides of the double bond.
  • Hydrocarbons with multiple bonds are more reactive than alkanes and
    participate in addition reactions in which atoms from one molecule are added
    to another molecule. Addition reactions include hydrogenation, halogenation,
    hydrohalogenation, and hydration.
  • Markovnikov’s rule states that, when two non-identical entities are added
    at a double bond, the major product will be formed by the hydrogen atom
    bonding to the carbon atom with more hydrogen atoms attached.

Q

1.3 review

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons that
    have a ring structure and bonding that causes them to be chemically stable.
  • Measurements show that the bonds in a benzene ring are all equal in length.
  • Naming aromatic compounds with one or more simple substituents requires
    just the addition of the substituent group name. Naming aromatic compounds
    with a more complex substituent requires treating the benzene ring, named
    “phenyl,” as a substituent on a carbon chain.
  • Benzene is less reactive than alkenes. Since it participates in substitution
    reactions, benzene behaves more like an alkane
25
most biologically important compounds that contain carbon
DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates
26
organic compounds that are soluble in polar solvents generally have a ____ present in the molecule
functional group
27
four general types of hydrocarbons
alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons
28
cycloalkanes
alkanes containing a ring structure that is held together by C-C single bonds
29
halogen substitutent nomenclature
"halo"
30
substituent nomenclature prefixes
di = two tri = three tetra = four penta = five
31
alkene nomenclature
Find the longest continuous carbon chain containing the double bond. Change the “ane” ending from the corresponding alkane to “ene” indicate location of double bond using a prefix number - number from end of chain closest to the double bond name all other substituents using the prefixes use prefix to identify geometric isomer
32
prefixes for geometric isomers
cis isomer trans isomer
33
alkyne nomenclature
indicate location of triple bond using a prefix number - number from end of chain closest to the triple bond name all other substituents using the prefixes
34
alkane nomenclature
Identify the main chain and draw the carbons in it Identify the substituents (type and #) and attach them to the appropriate carbon atoms on the main chain. Add hydrogen atoms to the carbons to make a total of 4 bonds to each carbon
35
alcohol
organic compound that contains the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group
36
primary alcohol
an alcohol in which the hydroxyl group is bonded to a terminal carbon atom
37
secondary alcohol
an alcohol in which the hydroxyl group is bonded to a carbon atom with two alkyl groups bonded to it
38
tertiary alcohol
an alcohol in which the hydroxyl group is bonded to a carbon atom with three alkyl groups bonded to it
39
alcohol nomenclature
Identify the longest carbon chain or ring. 2. If there is only one –OH group, the compound has the suffix -ol. If more than one group, use the suffixes -diol or -triol. 3. Number the parent chain from the end so that the –OH group is attached to the carbon atom with the lowest possible number. 4. Identify any other substituents and their locations. 5. If you are required to identify the type of alcohol, count the number of carbon atoms bonded to the atom to which the –OH group is attached.
40
dehydration reaction
a reaction that involves the removal of a hydrogen atom and a hydroxyl group from the reactant, producing a slightly smaller molecule and water
41

44
ether nomenclature
1. Identify the two alkyl groups. 2. Write the name of the shorter alkyl group, then the suffix -oxy, then the name of the longer alkyl group as if it were an alkane.

1.4 review
* Alcohols contain a hydroxyl group, 2OH. The hydroxyl group allows alcohols to form hydrogen bonds. Alcohols can be further classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary. * Alcohols can be produced by hydration reactions of alkenes. Dehydration reactions use a catalyst and acid to change the alcohol back to an alkene and water. In a combustion reaction an alcohol reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water. * Ethers can be produced from the condensation reaction of alcohols. Ethers are widely used as solvents because of their ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar substances. * Thiols contain the sulfhydryl functional group 2SH. They typically have strong odours.
46
carbonyl group
a carbon atom double-bounded to an oxygen atom, found in organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones
47
aldehyde

48
ketone

49
nomenclature aldehydes

50
nomenclature ketones
the -e of the parent alkane is replaced with the suffix -one.
51
1.5 review
* If a carbonyl group is attached to at least 1 hydrogen atom, the molecule is an aldehyde. It is named using the suffix -al. * If a carbonyl group is attached to 2 carbon atoms, the molecule is a ketone. It is named using the suffix -one. * The carbonyl group (C5O) makes organic molecules polar, giving them higher boiling points and greater water solubility than the corresponding alkanes. * The controlled oxidation of a primary alcohol produces an aldehyde. The controlled oxidation of a secondary alcohol produces a ketone. Tertiary alcohols do not readily undergo controlled oxidation. * The hydrogenation of an aldehyde produces a primary alcohol. The hydrogenation of a ketone produces a secondary alcohol.
