ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
 Organic chemistry is the study of carbon containing
compounds derived from living organisms.
 Oil is formed over millions of years from the break down of
dead creatures and plants.
80+ million
compounds- natural
& synthetic.

Crude Oil (petroleum) is a mixture of many thousands of these
different compounds and is the main source of many of these
chemicals.

They are called hydrocarbons because they predominantly
contain the elements hydrogen and carbon.

Homologous series
This is a series of compounds which all contain the same
functional group, and have similar chemical properties.
ALKANES

ALCOHOLS
CH4
CH2 =CH2
CH3OH
CH3-CH3

CH3CH2OH
Each has a general formula:
ALKANES: CnH2n+2
The members of the series differ by the number of CH2
units.
CH3-CH3, CH3-CH2-CH3, CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3
Graduation in physical properties: eg: boiling points.
CH4 (GAS), C8H18 (LIQUID), C30H62 (SOLID)
ALKANES

amount of hydrogen - only single bonds (no multiple

THE RULES FOR NAMING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
1.
Choose the longest unbroken chain of Carbon atoms and assign a name for the
carbon chain using the prefixes; meth-1, eth-2 etc.
2.
Identify any carbon chain branches (alkyl groups). These are assigned names
using the same prefixes as above along with the suffix “-yl” – methyl, ethyl etc.
3.
Identify the functional groups present in the molecule. Assign a prefix or suffix
according to their homologous series. These will be written in front of the name
of the carbon chain.
4.
There is an order of precedence, to decide the suffix for the carbon chain:
COOH / C=C > OH > Br / Cl
5.
Number the Carbon atoms in the longest chain so that the branches/functional
groups have the lowest number possible. Allocate a number for every
group/branch no matter how many times it occurs. Where groups are on the same
carbon write their names in alphabetical order.
6.
Numbering takes precedence "wins" over alphabetical spelling. Prefixes are used
for groups that occur more than once.
Di – 2
7.
Tri – 3
Tetra – 4
Penta – 5 etc.
The final name is written as one word with commas between numbers, hyphens
separating numbers from words.

Physical Properties
Recognize and apply to particular examples the relationship between melting
points, boiling points, vapour pressure, viscosity and intermolecular forces
(hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces including dispersion or London
forces number and type of functional group, chain length, branched chains)
Addition reactions
• Unsaturated compounds undergo addition reactions to form saturated
compounds e.g.
CH2=CH2 + Cℓ2 → CH2Cℓ-CH2Cℓ • hydrohalogentaion - addition of HX - halogenation - addition of X2 –
• hydration - addition of H2O –
•
The X-atom or OH-group attaches to the more substituted C-atom.)
• hydrogenation - addition of H2 (During additon of HX and H2O to
unsaturated hydrocarbons, the H-atom attaches to the C-atom already
having the greater number of H-atoms. ·
Elimination reactions
• * Saturated compounds (haloalkanes, alcohols, alkanes) undergo
elimination reactions to form unsaturated compounds e.g. CH2CℓCH2Cℓ → CH2=CHCℓ + HCℓ
• - dehydrohalogentaion - elimination of HX from a haloalkane (alkene
with the more highly substituted double bond is the major product). –
• dehydration - elimination of H2O from an alcohol (alkene with the
more highly substituted double bond is the major product). –
• dehydrogenation - elimination of H2 from an alkane. - cracking of
alkanes. ·
Substitution reactions
• * Reactions of HX with alcohols e.g. (CH3)3OH + HBr → (CH3)3Br
+ H 2O
• Reactions where the OH of alcohols are substituted with a halogen e.g.
(CH3)3Br + KOH → (CH3)3OH + KBr
• Two types of saturated structure can be inter-converted by substitution
as shown in the above two reaction equations.
• * Reactions of X2 with alkanes in the presence of light (prior
knowledge from Grade 11).
