Functional Groups
Introduction
- Reactive part of a molecule
- Examples: Double bond in alkene, OH in alcohol
Alkane
- No functional group
- Similar bonds
Alkene
- Functional group: Carbon-carbon double bond
- Unsaturated hydrocarbon
Halogen Alkane
- Functional group: Halogen with carbon
Alcohol
- Functional group: OH with carbon
Amine
- Functional group: Carbon-nitrogen single bond
Nitrile
- Functional group: Carbon-nitrogen triple bond
Amide
- Functional group: C=O and nitrogen bond
Carbonyl Compounds
- Aldehyde and ketone
- Identification of functional groups
Nomenclature
Alkane
- Selection of the longest carbon chain
Alkene
- Priority for the functional group
Halogen Alkane
- Preference order: Alphabetic order
Reactions
Alkane
