ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Introduction:
Organic compounds play a vital role on this earth. Organic chemicals appear in
materials like clothing, fuels, polymers, and dyes. Organic chemistry is around two hundred
years old. The formation of acetic acid by Kolbe method showed that organic compounds
could also be prepared from inorganic
norganic-compounds.

Organic chemistry is the branch of science
science in which we study the properties,
reactions, and uses of organic compounds.
Hydrocarbons are those compounds in which a carbon atom is directly attached to
hydrogen atoms.
All hydrocarbons are organic compounds but not all organic compounds are
hydrocarbons.
All carbon compounds except for a few inorganic carbon compounds are organic.
Inorganic carbon compounds include the oxides of carbon, the bicarbonates, and carbonates
of metal ions, metal cyanides, and a few others.
Nomenclature of Organic Compounds:
There are huge numbers of organic compounds are known. One might think that the
study of organic chemistry is very difficult. However it is not so because organic compounds
are classified into the various families on the basis of their properties.
propert
Classifications of Organic compounds are divided into various classes as follows.
1. Acyclic Compounds: Compounds in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another
to form open chains(straight chain) are called acyclic, open chain or aliphatic.
aliphatic. These may be
saturated or unsaturated. For example,
Examples: Methane
1 CH4
Methyl alcohol
2 CH3OH
CH=CH2
Buta-1,3-diene
3 CH2=CH-CH=CH
2. Cyclic compounds:: Cyclic compounds which is made up of only one type of atom, the
compound is known as homo-cyclic
cyclic and if the ring contains one heteroatom (N, S, and O),
the compound is known as heterocyclic compound.

(a) Homocyclic compounds: these types of compounds contain ring, which are made up of
only one type of atoms. The organic compounds contain of only carbon atoms, it is also
known as carbo-cyclic
cyclic compounds. They are divided into two partsparts
(i) Alicyclic compounds: Carbocyclic compounds which resemble aliphatic compounds in Page | 2
their properties are called alicyclic compounds. These are the compounds
compounds in which, the
carbon atoms are joined by the covalent bonds to form the ring structures.
(ii) Aromatic compounds:: Organic compounds containing one or more fused or isolated
benzene rings (a six-member
member ring of carbon atoms with alternate single or double bonds) are
called aromatic compounds.
(b) Heterocyclic compounds:: These are the compounds containing ring structure in which
one or more carbon atoms are replaced by hetro atoms (N, S, O etc) are known as
heterocyclic compounds. These are of two types:

groups of alcohols and amines respectively.
Homologous Series: A series of closely related organic compounds, which can be
represented by a general formula, is called Homologous Series.
Characteristics of Homologous Series: All member of a series can be represented by a
general formula.

They have
ve similar chemical properties.
Their physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility etc shows
the regular gradation with the increase in molecular mass.
Nomenclature of Organic Compounds: - There are two methods by which naming of
organic compounds are done.
(A) TRIVIAL SYSTEM: - In this system, compounds are named after the source from
which they are obtained. Some compounds and their sources are given below:
Compound
NH2CONH2
HCOOH
CH3COOH
CH3 CH2 CH2COOH

Source
Urea
Formic Acid
Acetic acid
Butyric acid

Butyrum (butter)
(B) IUPAC SYSTEM: The nomenclature of the organic compounds is done by the systematic nomenclature system
given by IUPAC in 1950. The most widely used system is substitutive nomenclature. The
substitutive name of an organic compound is based on its principal group and principal chain.
IUPAC: - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The IUPAC compounds
contains three parts namely-
Root Word- This is the basic unit, which indicate the carbon chain in the molecule structure.
It tells us the number of carbon atoms in the principle chain. Depending upon the numbers of
Carbon atoms the root words are as follows:

Suffix:: Suffix is added indicating the saturated or unsaturated nature of the parent chain and
the functional group present in the molecule.
There are two types of Suffixes(i) Primary Suffix
(ii) Secondary Suffix
(i) Primary Suffix: - It tells the linkage between the carbon atoms.
(i) Secondary Suffix: It tells the characteristic functional group present in the organic
compound. It is added to the name, after the primary suffix. Some common secondary
suffixes are given below.

Note- When we are using these secondary suffixes, the carbon of the functional group (if any)
is counted in the principle chain.
Prefixes:: The prefix depends upon the carbon atom present in a parent chain.
Prefix indicates the substituent of other atoms or groups in place of hydrogen atom in the
main chain of carbon
bon atoms. Most commonly used prefixes are alkyl groups and groups or
atoms, which are not regarded as principle functional groups. Some of these prefixes are
given
below.
For Alcohol Group (OH) e ---- ol- Alkane in place of e - ol will come.

Nomenclature of saturated branched hydrocarbons: Position of Locants: A locant is numeral (1, 2, 3.) or a letter (o, m, pp- etc) used to locate
the position of a substituents or a carbon-carbon
carbon carbon multiple bond. These locants are placed
immediately before the part of the name of which they relate. For example, according to

tetrakis etc are used to indicate a multiplicity of a
substituted substituents.
Nomenclature of simple alkanes: The names of first ten alkanes are given in the following tables: -

Class XII
CHEMISTRY
Page | 8
Nomenclature of branched alkanes: 1. Selection of Parent chain: Rule1: - Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms as a parental (principal) chain.
All other carbon atoms, which are not included in this chain, are regarded as substituents and
denoted as prefixes.
Example: -
The given alkane is named as a derivative of the alkane representing the parent chain. It is
noted the longest chain may or may not be straight but it must be continuous.
Rule2: - If two and more than two longest chains are the present in the compound then the
chain having larger number
mber of side chains will be principal chain.

The chain (written in blue color) has side chains at 2, 3, 4, 5 carbon atoms, while the chain
(written in pink color) has side chains at 2, 3, 4 carbon atoms. Therefore, longest chain will
be the chain named in blue color.
Rule3: - Numbering of the Principle Chain: (Lowest Number of Rule): The selected
carbon chain is numbered from the end nearest to the side chain or substituents to give the Page | 9
lowest no. to the carbon having the side chain.
The sums of the number assigned to the substituents are mini-mum.

the number indicating the substituents attached.

In this structure, methyl group is repeated thrice, so in the naming of the structure, we have
used tri before methyl.
Rule5: - Alphabetic Order of Substituents:
If more than one group attached to the carbon chain, they should be arranged
alphabetically.
While deciding alphabetical order of simple substituents numerical affixes such as di,
tri,
tetra etc (if any) are not considered.
When two or more identical substituents are present prefix
prefix- di, tri, tetra- etc are used.
The position of substituents is separated by commas
Example: -
Note: IUPAC has retained following semi systematic names for branched chain alkanes,
provided they are not substituted. However, these semi systematic names are not yet widely
accepted in IUPAC nomenclature.

In second figure, numbering of the carbon atoms is done in wrong way. At carbon number
number-5,
the attached group has substitute at carbon-2,
carbon while at carbon-number-6,
6, the attached group
has substitute (methyl) at carbon-1.
carbon 1. We know that, numbering should be do
done from the
lowest locant side.
2. Numbering of Different Substituents at Equivalent Positions
Positions:: When two different
substituents are present at equivalent positions, the numbering of parent chain is done in such
a way that the substituent, which comes firstt in the alphabetical order gets the lower number.
For example-

In this example, ethyl is written before methyl group because E comes before M.
3. Deciding the Principal Chain When there are two or More Chains of Equal Lengths
Lengths:
When there are two orr more chains of equal length, then the chain with greater number of
side chains as substituents should be selected as principal chain for example,
In case if there are two or more chains of equal lengths have the same number of side chains,
then the chain whose side chain have the lowest numbered locants is selected as principal
chain.
For example,

3. The prefix-iso
iso refers that a straight chain contains one methyl group at second carbon
from the opposite end.
4. The prefix-neo
neo is used when a carbon is attached to three other carbons. It is used
mainly in pentane.
5. The prefix-s
s is used when a carbon
carbo is attached to two other carbons.
6. The prefix-t
t is used when a carbon is attached to three other carbons.
