Elements in Organic Compounds
In organic molecules,
carbon atoms bond
• with four bonds.
• mostly with H and
other C atoms.
• sometimes to O, N,
S,
• sometimes to
halogens F, Cl, and
Br.
2
Functional Groups
Functional groups are
• a characteristic feature of organic molecules
that behave in a predictable, similar way.
• composed of an atom or group of atoms.
• groups that replace a hydrogen atom in the
corresponding alkane.
• a way to classify families of organic
compounds.
3
Alkenes and Alkynes
Alkenes contain a
double bond between
adjacent carbon atoms.
(Double bond: 4 electrons)
Alkynes contain a triple
bond.
(Triple bond: 6 electrons)

Organic compounds with
Carbon-Oxygen bonds
1. Alcohols
An alcohol contains the
hydroxyl (-OH)
functional group.
(instead of an H in that
place)
Ethanol

OH- vs -OH
• OH- : hydroxide anion found in bases
(e.g NaOH)
• -OH: hydroxyl group colvalently bound to
carbon atom in an organic compound
(e.g. ethanol CH3-CH2OH)

2. Ethers
In an ether, an oxygen
atom is bonded to two
carbon atoms.
–C–O–C– .
has a common name
that gives the alkyl
names of the attached
groups followed by
ether.

3. Aldehydes
An aldehyde contains a
carbonyl group (C=O),
which is a carbon atom
with a double bond to an
oxygen atom.

the carbonyl group is
attached to two other
carbon atoms.

carbonyl group attached to a
hydroxyl group.

Cis and Trans Isomers
In an alkene the double bond,
• is rigid.
• holds attached groups in fixed positions.
• makes cis/trans isomers possible.

CH = CH

CH = CH

17
Cis-Trans Isomers
In cis-trans isomers
• there is no rotation around
the double bond in alkenes.
• groups attached to the
double bond are fixed
relative to each other.
You can make a “double
bond” with your fingers with
both thumbs on the same
side or opposite from each
other.
18
Cis-Trans Isomers
Two isomers are possible when
groups are attached to the
double bond are different.
(a double bond cannot rotate)
• In a cis isomer, groups are
attached on the same side of
the double bond.
• In the trans isomer, the
groups are attached on
opposite sides.
19
Cis-Trans Isomerism
• Alkenes cannot have cis-trans isomers if a carbon
atom in the double bond is attached to identical
groups.

Cis-Trans Isomers in Nature
• Insects emit tiny quantities of pheromones, which are
chemicals that send messages.
• The silkworm moth attracts other moths by emitting
bombykol, which has one cis and one trans double
bond.

Naming Alcohols
The names of alcohols
• in IUPAC replace the -e with -ol.
• with common names use the name of the alkyl group
followed by alcohol.

Classification of Alcohols
Classification of alcohols is
• determined by the number of alkyl groups attached to
the carbon bonded to the hydroxyl.
• primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary(3).

Thiols
Thiols
• are carbon compounds that
contain a –SH group.
• are named in the IUPAC
system by adding thiol to
the alkane name of the
longest carbon chain.

Thiols
Thiols
• often have
strong odors.
• are used to
detect gas leaks.
• are found in
onions, oysters,
and garlic.

Boiling Points of Alcohols
Alcohols
• contain polar OH
groups.
• form hydrogen bonds
with other alcohol
molecules.
• have higher boiling
points than alkanes and
ethers of similar mass.

29
Boiling Points of Ethers
Ethers
• do not have a polar
group.
• have an O atom,
but there is no H
attached.
• cannot form
hydrogen bonds
between ether
molecules.

Solubility of Alcohols and Ethers
in Water
Alcohols and ethers
• are more soluble in water than alkanes because the
oxygen atom can hydrogen bond with water.
• with 1-4 C atoms are soluble, but not with 5 or more
C atoms.

Oxidation and Reduction
In an oxidation,
• there is an increase in the number of C-O bonds.
• there is a loss of H.
In a reduction,
• there is an decrease in the number of C-O bonds.
• there is a gain of H.
