Drawing and naming of organic structures

Rules for drawing skeletal structures • Carbon atoms are not shown. They assumed to be at each intersection of two lines (bonds) and at the end of each line. Occasionally, a carbon atom might be indicated for emphasis or clarity. • Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are not shown. Since carbon has always valence of 4, we mentally supply the correct number of hydrogen atoms to fill the valence of each carbon. • All atoms other than carbon and hydrogen (heteroatoms) are indicated.

ALKANES (saturated hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons) • Do not contain functional groups

Functional groups. • With carbon-carbon multiple bonds Alkene Alkyne Arene (aromatic ring)

Types of functional groups. • With carbon singly bonded to an electronegative atom Alkyl halide Amine Alcohol Thiol (thioalcohol) Ether Sulfide (thioether)

Functional groups. • With carbon-oxygen double bond (carbonyl groups) Aldehyde Ester chloride Ketone Amide Carboxylic acid Acid

Naming alkanes according to IUPAC rules Prefix—Parent—Suffix What are substituents? How many carbons? What family?

Parent names of chain alkanes from C 1 to C 20 C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 C 6 C 7 C 8 C 9 C 10 methane propane butane pentane hexane heptane octane nonane decane C 11 C 12 C 13 C 14 C 15 C 16 C 17 C 18 C 19 C 20 undecane dodecane tridecane tetradecane pentadecane hexadecane heptadecane octadecane nonadecane eicosane

Naming alkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 1. Find the parent hydrocarbon – that means find the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule: If 2 different chains are equal, choose the one with the larger number of branch points:

Naming alkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 2. Number the atoms in the main chain beginning at the end nearer the first branch point: If there is branching an equal distance away from both ends, begin numbering at the end nearer the second branch point:

Naming alkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 3. Identify and number the substituents: on C 3, CH 2 CH 3 on C 4, CH 3 on C 7, CH 3 (3 -ethyl) (4 -methyl) (7 -methyl) 3 -ethyl-4, 7 -dimethylnonane on C 2, CH 3 (2 -methyl) on C 4, CH 3 (4 -methyl) on C 4, CH 2 CH 3 (4 -ethyl) 4 -ethyl-2, 4 -dimethylhexane Step 4. Write the name as a single word using hyphen to separate different prefixes, and commas to separate numbers. Prefixes should appear in alphabetical order.

Naming alkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 5. When a substituent of the main chain has its own sub-branching. The name of complex substituent is formed applying the steps 1 -4 just as if the substituent was a compound itself. Numbering in complex substituent starts always at the point of attachment to the main chain.

Common names of straight-chain and branched-chain alkyl substituents derived from C 3 – C 4 alkanes propane butane propyl butyl isopropyl sec-butyl

Common names of straight-chain and branched-chain alkyl substituents derived from C 4 – C 5 alkanes isobutane pentane isobutyl tert-butyl pentyl

Common names of straight-chain and branched-chain alkyl substituents derived from C 5 alkanes isopentane isopentyl neopentane tert-pentyl neopentyl

Naming cycloalkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 1. Use the cycloalkane name as the parent name When alkyl substituent contains more carbons than ring, use alkane as parent name.

Naming cycloalkanes according to IUPAC rules Step 2. In substituted cycloalkanes number the atoms in the ring starting at the point of attachment so as to arrive at the lowest sum. When different substituents are present, they are numbered by alphabetical priority. correct wrong

Nomenclature of alkenes according to IUPAC rules Alkenes are named according to a series of rules similar to those developed for alkanes, with the suffix –ene used instead of -ane to identify the family. Step 1. Find the parent hydrocarbon – that means find the longest carbon chain containing the double bond:

Step 2. Number the atoms in the chain beginning at the end nearer the double bond. If the double bond is equidistant from the two ends, begin at the end nearer the first branch point. This rule assures that the double bond carbons receive the lowest possible numbers: 2 -hexene 2 -methyl-3 -hexene Step 3. Write the full name numbering the substituents according to their position in the chain and listing them alphabetically. Indicate the position of the double bond by giving the number of the first alkene carbon. If more than one double bond is present indicate the position of each and use the suffixes diene, -triene, -tetraene, and so on. 2 -ethyl-1 -pentene 2 -methyl-1, 3 -butadiene

Common names of unsaturated substituents accepted by IUPAC methylene ethylidene vinyl ethenyl allyl 2 -propenyl

Common and systematic names of some alkenes Systematic name Common name Ethene Ethylene Propylene 2 -Methylpropene Isobutylene 2 -methyl-1, 3 -butadiene Isoprene

Naming cycloalkenes according to IUPAC rules Cycloalkenes are named in a similar way, but because there is no chain end to begin from, we number the cycloalkene so that the double bond is between C 1 and C 2 and the first substituent has as low number as possible. 1 -methylcyclohexene 1, 4 -cyclohexadiene 1, 5 -dimethylcyclopentene

Nomenclature of alkynes according to IUPAC rules Alkynes follow the general rules of hydrocarbon nomenclature. The suffix –yne is used to denote an alkyne, and the position of the triple bond is indicated by its number in the chain. Numbering always begins at the chain end nearer the triple bond so that the triple bond receives as low a number as possible. 6 -methyl-3 -octyne

Compounds with more than one triple bond are called diynes, triynes and so forth; compounds containing both double and triple bonds are called enynes (not ynenes). Numbering of an enyne chain always starts from the end nearer the first multiple bond, whether double or triple. When there is a choice in numbering, though, double bonds receive lower numbers than do triple bonds. 4 -methyl-7 -nonen-1 -yne 4 -methylnon-7 -en-1 -yne 1 -hepten-6 -yne hept-1 -en-6 -yne Names of alkynyl substituents: ethynyl 1 -propynyl 1 -butynyl

Nomenclature of arenes Benzene Ethylbenzene Bromobenzene Disubstituted benzene derivatives: ortho-dibromobenzene meta-dibromobenzene m-dibromobenzene para-dibromobenzene p-dibromobenzene 1, 2 -dibromobenzene 1, 3 -dibromobenzene 1, 4 -dibromobenzene

In tri- and more substituted benzenes the lowest possible numbers are used, and substituents are listed alphabetically 1, 2 -dibromo-4 -methylbenzene 1, 3, 5 -trimethylbenzene 1, 4 -dibromo-2, 5 -dimethylbenzene

Aryl substituents Phenyl Benzyl C 6 H 5 - C 6 H 5 CH 2 - Ph. CH 2 Bn

Some aromatic hydrocarbons found in coal tar Benzene Biphenyl Toluene ortho-Xylene Anthracene Indene Fluorene Naphthalene Phenanthrene

Every organic compound consists of hydrocarbon framework (and some contain also functional group) Type of skeleton and functional group determine both - physical properties and chemical reactivity of compound.

Aliphatic aldehyde Aromatic aldehyde Reactivity of functional group essentially the same, reactivity of hydrocarbon part different

Aliphatic amine Aliphatic carboxylic acid Reactivity of hydrocarbon part essentially the same, reactivity of functional group totally different

Naming of compounds containing single functional group

In chain structures with functional group containing carbon, like: • nitrile (-CN), • aldehyde (-CHO), • carboxylic acid (-COOH), • ester (-COOR), • amide (-CONH 2), • acid chloride (-COCl) carbon atom of functional group has to be number 1

When functional group containing carbon, like: • nitrile (-CN), • aldehyde (-CHO), • carboxylic (-COOH), • ester (-COOR), • amide (-CONH 2), • acid chloride (-COCl) suffix -nitrile suffix -al suffix -oic acid suffix -oate suffix -amide suffix -oyl chloride is directly linked to the ring, the suffix in the IUPAC name is changed to: -carbonitrile, -carbaldehyde, -carboxylic acid, -carboxylate, -carbonamide, -carbonyl chloride

and ring carbon bonded to functional group is assign as number 1 !!!

EXAMPLES 1 1 Propanenitrile Cyclopropanecarbonitrile 1 1 Butanal Cyclobutanecarbaldehyde 1 1 Pentanoic acid Cyclopentanecarboxylic acid

EXAMPLES 1 1 Ethyl hexanoate Ethyl cyclohexanecarboxylate 1 1 Heptanamide 1 Octanoyl chloride Cycloheptanecarbonamide 1 Cyclooctanecarbonyl chloride

EXAMPLES 1, 2 -Dimethylcyclopropanecarbonitrile 2 -Isopropyl-4 -nitrocyclobutanecarbaldehyde 2 -Methoxy-4 -methylcyclooctanecarbonyl chloride

When the following functional groups: • sulfonic (-SO 3 H), • hydroxyl (-OH), • amino (-NH 2), • carbonyl (CO), are linked to non-terminal carbons The numbering of parent skeleton should be done in such a way as to assure the lowest possible number for the carbon linked to the functional group

EXAMPLES 5 -Methylheptane-3 -sulfonic acid 3 -Chloro-4 -methylbenzenesulfonic acid

EXAMPLES 1 -Cyclohexylbutan-2 -ol 5 -Isopropyl-2 -methylphenol
