Saturated Hydrocarbons
 Hydrocarbons are chemical
compounds that contain only C and H
atoms.
 Saturated hydrocarbons contain
only single or sigma () bonds.
 There are no double or triple bonds in
these compounds.
 The primary source of hydrocarbons
is petroleum and natural gas.
5
Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
 The simplest saturated hydrocarbons
are called alkanes.
 Methane, CH4, is the simplest alkane.
 The alkanes form a homologous
series.
 Each member of the series differs by
a specific number and kind of atoms.

given in this table.

12 Dodecane
22
 Other organic compounds are named as
derivatives of the alkanes.
 Branched-chain alkanes are named by the
following rules.
1. Choose the longest continuous chain of carbon
atoms which gives the basic name or stem.
23
2 Number each carbon atom in the basic chain, starting at the

end that gives the lowest number to the first group attached
to the main chain (substituent).
3 For each substituent on the chain, we indicate the position
in the chain (by an Arabic numeric prefix) and the kind of
substituent (by its name).
 The position of a substituent on the chain is indicated by the lowest
number possible.
 The number precedes the name of the
substituent.
24
4 When there are two or more substituents of a given kind, use
prefixes to indicate the number of substituents.
 di = 2, tri = 3, tetra = 4, penta = 5, hexa = 6, hepta = 7, octa = 8,
and so on.
5 The combined substituent numbers and names serve as a
prefix for the basic hydrocarbon name.
6 Separate numbers from numbers by commas and numbers
from words by hyphens.
 Words are "run together".
25
 Alkyl groups (represented by the symbol R) are common
substituents.
 Alkyl groups are fragments of alkanes in which one H
atom has been removed for the connection to the main
chain.
 Alkyl groups have the general formula CnH2n+1.
 In alkyl groups the -ane suffix in the name of the parent
alkane is replaced by -yl.
 A one carbon group is named methyl.
 A two carbon group is named ethyl.
 A three carbon group is named propyl.
26
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

are:
1. alkenes and cycloalkenes, CnH2n
2. alkynes and cycloalkynes, CnH2n-2
3. aromatic hydrocarbons

30
Alkenes
 The systematic naming system for alkenes uses the
same stems as alkanes.
 In the IUPAC system, the -ane suffix for alkanes is
changed to -ene.
 Common names for the alkenes have the same stem but use
the suffix -ylene is used.
 In chains of four or more C atoms, a numerical prefix
shows the position of the lowest-numbered doubly
bonded C atom.
 Always choose the longest chain that contains the C=C bond.
31
Alkenes
 Polyenes contain two or more double bonds per
molecule.
 Indicate the number of double bonds with suffixes:
 -adiene for two double bonds.
 -atriene for three double bonds, etc.
 The positions of the substituents are indicated as for
alkanes.
 The position of the C=C bond(s) is/are given the lowest
number(s) possible.

 Alcohols are considered neutral compounds
because they are only very slightly acidic.
 Alcohols can behave as acids but only in the presence of
very strong bases.
 Phenols are weakly acidic.
 Ka  1.0 x 10-10 for phenol
 Although phenols are very weakly acidic, they
are also very corrosive.
57
 Alcohols can be classified into three classes:
1. Primary (1°) alcohols like ethanol have the -OH
group attached to a C atom that has one bond to
another C atom.
H3C
C OH

58
2. Secondary(2°) alcohols have the –OH group
attached to a C atom that has bonds to 2 other C
atoms.
 For example,2-propanol:
H3C
HC OH

59
3. Tertiary (3°) alcohols have the –OH group

60
 The stem for the parent hydrocarbon plus an -ol

suffix is the systematic name for an alcohol.
 A numeric prefix indicates the position of the -OH
group in alcohols with three or more C atoms.
 Common names are the name of the appropriate alkyl
group plus alcohol.
61
 Alcohols are named using the stem for the parent
hydrocarbon plus an -ol suffix in the systematic
nomenclature.

alcohols depend upon the number of -OH groups per
molecule and the size of the organic group.
 The boiling points of monohydric alcohols increase with
increasing molecular weight.
 The solubility of monohydric alcohols in water decrease
with increasing molecular weight.
 Polyhydric alcohols are more soluble in water because of

Substitution Reactions
 In a substitution reaction an atom or group of
atoms attached to a carbon atom is replaced
(substituted for) by another atom or group of
atoms.
 There is no change in the degree of saturation at
the reactive carbon atom.
 Halogenation reactions are an important class of
substitution reactions.
 Chlorine reacts with alkanes in free radical
chain reactions (also substitution reactions).

the polymer are called monomers.

discovered in 1930’s.

Vulcanization of rubber
 Natural rubber is a sticky, soft compound when heated
which limited its commercial potential.
Charles Goodyear discovered in 1839 that heating
rubber with sulfur removed the stickiness and made
the substance elastic.
 This is the basis of modern tire production.
Vulcanization provides disulfide cross-linking bonds
between the isoprene units.

Copolymers

copolymers are formed.

 Condensation polymers occur when two molecules react
and eliminate a small molecule.
 Molecules eliminated commonly are water and HCl.
Important condensation polymers include nylon,
dacron, and kevlar.
 Dacron is used in clothing to make it wrinkle free.
 Blood does not clot in contact with dacron thus it is used
in artificial arteries.
