Functional Groups
• The structural features that make it possible to classify compounds by reactivity are called functional groups
• A given functional group behaves almost the same way in every molecule it’s a part of

Naming Branched-chain Alkanes
IUPAC system of nomenclature(International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)
![Page 22: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Naming Branched-chain Alkanes
• Step1 Find the parent hydrocarbon1. Find the longest continuous carbon chain in
the molecule
2. If two chains of equal length are present, choose the one with the larger number of branch points as the parent
![Page 23: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Step1 Find the parent hydrocarbon
• Step2 Number the atoms in the main chain– If there is one substituent, number from the end
of the chain that gives it the lower number– If more than one substituents is attached to the
longest continuous chain, the chain number in the direction that will result in the lowest possible number
![Page 24: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Step1 Find the parent hydrocarbon
• Step2 Number the atoms in the main chain
• Step3 Identify and number the substituents– Assign a number to each substituent according
to its point of attachment on the parent chain– If there are two substituents on the same
carbon, assign them both the same number
![Page 25: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Naming Branched-chain Alkanes
• Step1 Find the parent hydrocarbon• Step2 Number the atoms in the main chain• Step3 Identify and number the substituents• Step4 Write the name as a single word
– Use hyphens to separate the various prefixes and commas to separate numbers
– If two or more different side chains are present, cite them in alphabetical order
– If two or more identical side chains are present, use one of the di-, tri-, tetra-, and so forth. Don’t use these prefixes for alphabetizing

• Reactions of alkanes:– The reaction of an alkane with O2 occurs during
combustion in an engine or furnace when the alkanes is used as a fuel
– Carbon dioxide and water are formed as products, and a large amount of heat is released
CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + 890 KJ
(213 Kcal)

Cis-Trans Isomerism in Cycloalkanes
• Cycloalkanes are less flexible than the open-chain alkanes
• No rotation around a C-C bond can take place in cycloalkane without breaking the ring
![Page 46: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Because of their cyclic structure, cycloalkanes have two sides: a “top”side and a “bottom”side
• Isomerism is possible in substituted cycloalkanes
![Page 47: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Constitutional isomers– Have different connections among atoms
• Stereoisomers – Have the same connections– Differ in three-dimensional orientation
![Page 48: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Cis-trans isomers have– a subclass of stereoisomers– the same molecular formula– the same connectivity– an arrangement of atoms in space that cannot be
interconverted by rotation about single bonds under ordinary conditions
• Cis: A prefix meaning on the same side
Trans: A prefix meaning on opposite side
![Page 49: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Conformations of Some Cycloalknes
• Cyclopropane– is a flat, triangular molecule with C-C-C bond
angles of 60o – All six C-H bonds have an eclipsed arrangement
with their neighbors
![Page 50: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Intramolecular strain: – Torsional strain: arises when atoms not bonded
to each other are forced abnormally close to each other; e.g., eclipsed hydrogens in ethane
– Angle strain: introduced into a molecule when a bond angle is deformed from its ideal value (109.5o)
– Steric strain: arises when two groups are too close together and try to occupy the same space
![Page 51: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• Cyclohexane– is a not flat– All C-C-C bond angles are near 109o – All adjacent C-H bonds are staggered– Three-dimensional shape called a chair
conformation
![Page 52: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Axial and Equatorial Bonds in Cyclohexane
![Page 54: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Axial and Equatorial Bonds in Cyclohexane
• There are two kinds of positions for There are two kinds of positions for hydrogens on the chair conformation of hydrogens on the chair conformation of cyclohexane cyclohexane – Axial position is perpendicular to the ring– Equatorial position is in the plane of the ring
• Each carbon atom has one axial and one equatorial position
• Each side of the ring has 3 axial and 3 equatorial positions
![Page 55: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Conformational mobility of Cyclohexane
• There are two equivalent chair conformations
• Different chair cyclohexane conformations readily interconvert, resulting in the exchange of axial and equatorial positions– all C-H bonds equatorial in one chair are axial in
the other, and vice versa
![Page 58: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

• For monosubstituted cyclohexane, the substituent is always more stable in an equatorial position than in an axial position
• A steric interference occurs in the axial conformation in methylcyclohexane
• The 1,3-diaxial interaction introduces 7.6 kJ/mol of steric strain into the methylcyclohexane because the axial methyl group and the nearby axial hydrogen are too close together
![Page 60: Chapter 2 The Nature of Organic Compounds: Alkanes](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649cc15503460f949893f9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
