3-D Structure
**You are responsible for being able to draw accurate 3-D structures of relatively simple organic compounds!**
You must correctly show
all bond angles (this includes not “splitting” bonds) which atoms are in the plane of the paper which atoms are in front of the plane of the paper which atoms are behind the plane of the paper

Carbon
Carbon has an exceptional ability to bond with itself, forming a variety of molecules with chains or rings of C atoms.
Carbon also forms strong bonds with H, O, N, and the halogens.
Consequently, C can form millions of compounds.
Carbon
Carbon has 4 valence electrons and forms 4 bonds. These 4 bonds can be a combination of single, double, and triple bonds.
methane , CH 4 formaldehyde , CH 2 O acetonitrile , CH 3 CN
Carbon
Bond lengths: C —C > C=C > C≡C
Bond strengths: C≡C > C=C > C—C
Carbon
Hydrocarbons containing no multiple bonds are not very reactive.
Organic compounds get their reactivity and their characteristics from functional groups such as -OH (alcohol) and -COOH (acid).
Recognizing functional groups is a “must.”
Alkanes and Cycloalkanes Have no Functional Groups
Compounds that contain only C and H and only single bonds are called either alkanes or, if the C’s form rings, cycloalkanes . They have no functional groups.

There Are Many Ways to Show Organic Structures
• The structures shown on the previous slide are called condensed structures or condensed structural formulas.
• Lewis structures show all bonds and all nonbonding valence electrons.
Lewis structures condensed structural formulas
Line Angle Structures
Organic compounds can be really large. Imagine how many C’s and H’s and their bonds you’d have to show: the structure would be very “busy.”
Lewis structures line angle structures
Line Angle Structures
Line angle structures are another way to represent organic molecules, a way that lets you focus on functional groups. No C’s are shown, and almost no H’s bonded to C’s are shown, either.
Lewis structures line angle structures* *There is a C atom at either end of every line segment. The H’s on each C are enough to give the C four bonds total.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO COUNT TO 4.
Functional Groups - Alkenes
• Clearly, line angle structures are less “busy.” • C=C is the alkene functional group, also called the carbon-carbon double bond.
Lewis structure line angle structure trans-2-hexene (The double bond starts on carbon number 2. One counts from the end that gets to the C=C bond first.) cyclohexene
Which Carbon has the Functional Group?
• Organic compounds are “read” and named from the end that brings you to the functional group first. All structures shown below are for the
same compound
,
trans-2-hexene.

Functional Groups - Alkynes
C ≡C is the alkyne functional group, also known as a carbon-carbon triple bond.
Lewis structure line angle structure 2-hexyne (The triple bond starts on C number 2. One counts from the end that gets to the carbon-carbon triple bond first.)
Functional Groups Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides (-X) all have a carbon atom bonded to a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I). Halogen atoms are designated X.

Functional Groups Aromatic rings
• • Several structures are aromatic, but we will look at only one: the benzene ring, also called an aromatic ring.
Benzene is NOT three alkenes!
where six electrons are shared among all 6 carbon atoms. That is why the line angle structure is often seen with a circle in the middle of the ring.
It is a unique structure

Aromatic Hydrocarbons
contain 6 membered ring structures with alternating double bonds, stabilized by the delocalized electrons from the pi bonds.
are not as reactive as the alkenes and alkynes.

Functional Groups - Alcohols
Alcohols all have the –OH group (called a hydroxyl group and sometimes shown as HO-).

are like water, with alkyl groups replacing both of the -H s:

are relatively unreactive.

Functional Groups - Amines
Amines are organic bases and have the formula RNH 2 , RNR’R”, or RNHR’ , where R is an alkyl group.

Functional Groups Amines, Amides, and Nitriles amines amides
Amides are like amines, but with an adjacent C=O.
Be careful! Both amines and amides have different forms: primary (1 °), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°).
Nitriles are R-CN.

Nomenclature
Organic compounds get their reactivity and their characteristics from functional groups.
Organic compounds are named after the functional groups they contain.
We will start with the alkanes.
Alkanes
are characterized by stable C-C single bonds
are aka saturated hydrocarbons.
are named for the number of carbons in the longest chain.
have no functional groups.

Nomenclature
• •
Systematic naming comes from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
Below is the template you will use to build the name of ANY organic compound.

Nomenclature of Alkanes
1. Find the longest continuous chain of C atoms, and use that as the base name of the compound. 2. If there is more than one long chain, choose the one that gives more substituents. 3. Number the C atoms in the longest chain, beginning with the end that brings you to the substituent sooner.

Geometry of Alkanes
Rotation about a C-C single bond is relatively easy, and it occurs very rapidly at room temperature.
Although we talk about straight-chain hydrocarbons, the alkanes constantly undergo motions that cause them to change their shape, like a chain being shaken.
