STRUCTURAL ISOMERS:
When you draw butane (C4H10) you will notice that there are two possible correct structural diagrams.(see below or
see model on your desk) Both molecules exist as separate entities (ie different MP/BP) so can’t have the same name.
These molecules are said to be structural isomers.
CH3
CH3–CH2–CH2–CH3 *(n-butane) or CH3–CH–CH3 *(isobutane)
With few isomers known the naming problem was rectified by using the prefixes normal(n) for the straight chain and
iso for the branched chain. However as more isomers were found (octane has 18 , decane has 75) a better system had
to be developed so all chemists could communicate.
IUPAC RULES for NAMING ORGANIC MOLECULES:
1. a) Determine what is the LONGEST CONTINUOUS CHAIN of CARBONS and let this be the base name.
(eth = 2 carbons, prop = 3, hex = 6 etc.) * note: the longest chain does not have to be straight just continuous
b) Assign a number to each carbon such that any branch(es) etc will have the smallest possible #
2. Locate & identify any double (ene), triple (yne) bonds and/or if the longest chain is cyclic (prefix"cyclo").
*NOTE: dble/triple bonds are assigned the smallest possible number in the carbon chain
3. Locate & identify any FUNCTIONAL GROUPS. ( These change the end of the name)
** These will be covered in more detail later**

4. Locate & identify any BRANCHES (** must contain a carbon not in the main chain).
Branches (alkyls) are named by a) identifying the number of carbons & b) adding the suffix "yl"
(ex: methyl, ethyl, propyl, ) **if more than one - arranged alphabetically**

5. Locate & identify any SUBSTITUTED groups ( halogens etc.) . These do not contain a carbon but have been
substituted in place of a hydrogen. They are named by adding the suffix "o"
(Ex: fluoro-F, chloro-Cl, bromo-Br, iodo-I, nitro (-NO2), amino (-NH2) ), cyano (-CN) ) ** arranged alphabetically
 Example # 1 7 8 ethyl branch
CH2–CH3 CH2–CH3
CH3–CH–CHBr–CH–CF=CH–CH3
methyl branch 6 5 4 3 2 1
IUPAC name = 5-bromo-3-fluoro-4-ethyl-6-methyl-2-octene
Note: 1) The longest chain of carbons does not have to be straight.
2) the double bond has the smallest possible # on the carbon chain, alpha arranged

Carbon #1
Example #2
Cl
CH2–CH2–CH3 1) The carbons in the ring(cycle) are not drawn – but are
assumed to be at at each point where the line bends
branches 2) The double bond in the ring has to have the smallest #
which would always be #1 in a ring
–CH2–CH3 3) the name is always organized
Cl substituted group (Cl) → branches(alpha)→base (ending)

IUPAC name = 1,3-dichloro-4-ethyl-5-propyl-1-cyclopentene

GEOMETRIC ISOMERS
Carbon-carbon single bonds are created because of single orbital overlap and can rotate on each other a full 360°.
However carbon-carbon double bonds are no longer able to rotate. Thus if 2 groups are attached to these carbons they
are stuck in these positions. There are only two positions they can be stuck in - either on the same side of the double
bond ("cis") or on opposites sides of the dble bond (“trans"). Both molecules have the same formula & structure but a
different orientation in space hence are different molecules ( diff MP / BP etc. ) This type of isomer is called a
geometric isomer ( see below for an example of geometric isomers )
CH3 CH2 CH3 CH3 Br CH3
109°
CH2 CH3 120° CH CH CH CH
Br Br CH3 Br
n-butane cis 2,3 - dibromobutene trans 2,3 - dibromobutene
Any 2 groups attached across a double bond including carbons will exhibit cis-trans isomerism. The 2 groups DO
NOT have to be the same!( see page pg 1038)

Group 2: CARBOHYDRATES - Composed of carbon chains where one or more carbons has been oxidized. These
oxygen atoms (and nitrogen atoms) make the carbon based molecule behave
differently →the functional groups. Molecules that have the same groups of
Oxygens/Nitrogens all tend to behave similarly.

This group of hydrocarbons is based on the benzene molecule –C6H6 – a The early structure had
planar hexagonal (bond angles=120°) structure that is very unsaturated with alternating dble bonds.

has single(σ) carbon bonds with the π electrons in a cloud above & below electrons above & below
the ring adding increased stability Because of this stability a very large the ring ( the oval)
group of compounds contain this ring structure – the aromatics.
Naming the aromatics
Because of the stability of the ring, aromatic compounds simply have one or more of the H's replaced with a
substitute ( any halogen, amino, nitro, another hydrocarbon etc. ).
There are also several different ways to name some aromatics, although IUPAC would like us all to use their
method. *NOTE. Benzene can also be named as a branch ( C6H5-R )=PHENYL
As well some aromatics have special names (from the past ) that are still very popular ex:
Br NO 2 CH 3 COOH OH CHO

Reactions involving organic molecules

This section deals with the variety of chemical reactions that involve the organic molecules you have just learn to identify

1) They all combust- forming oxides ie C4H10 + 6.5 O2 → 4 CO2 + 5 H2O

or H2NC5H10COOH + 9¼ O2 → 6 CO2 + 6½ H2O + NO2
15.a) 3-ethyl-2-methylheptane + O2 (g) b) 2,5-diammino-4-isopropylhexanoic + O2 (g)

2) The alkANEs (fully saturated) tend to undergo SUBSTITUTION reactions producing an alkyl halide ie
halogenation with Cl2 or Br2 etc (see pg 24 CHEM 12)
Energy Energy
CH4 + Cl2 
→ CH3Cl + HCl or C2H6 + Br2 
→ C2H5Br + HBr

*The MECHANISM is“FREE RADICAL” (light sensitive). A “FREE RADICAL” is a high energy
unstable molecule because of an unpaired electron. ex: Cl. or .CH3
A) Cl2 → 2 Cl. initiation step
B) Cl. + CH4 → .CH3 + HCl chain step 1
C) .CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl. chain step 2
D) 2 Cl. → Cl2 termination step

CH4 + Cl2  → CH3Cl + HCl overall reaction

**NOTE: Stability of the carbonyl free radicals is 3° > 2° > 1° . this means that if propane undergoes this
type of reaction the only product formed would be 2-chloropropane.
CH3– CH2– CH3 + Cl2 → CH3– CHCl – CH3 + HCl

16.(complete & name the product) a) butane + Br2 b) 2-methylbutane +Cl2 c) hexane + I2 d) 3-methylpentane + F2
3) The alkyl halides can undergo an elimination reaction forming an alkene (see pg 36 - CHEM 12)
CH3– CHCl – CH3 + OH- (a base) → CH2=CH– CH3 + H2O + Cl-
4) The alkENEs & alkYNEs (unsaturated) are much more reactive because of the π cloud of electrons on top of the
double bond and tend to undergo ADDITION reactions across this dble bond. (see pg 25 CHEM 12)
C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2 halogenation C3H6 + H2 → C3H8 hydrogenation
C3H6 + HCl → C3H7Cl hydrohalogenation C3H6 + H2O → C3H7OH hydration

*This MECHANISM is“ELECTROPHYLLIC” (hungry for electrons) – ∆G is very negative

H2C = CH2 + Cl:Cl Î H2C -CH2 + Cl- Î H2C-CH2 + Cl- Î H2C -CH2

**NOTE: Stability of the carbonium ion C is 3° > 2° > 1° . this means that if 1-propene undergoes this
type of reaction with a hydrogen halide like HCl the only product formed would be 2-chloropropane as
+
the 2° carbon(in the middle) would become C and that is where the negative Cl- will attach. This is
known as Markovnikov’s Rule (the H attaches to the carbon that already has the most H’s)
CH2=CH–CH3 + HCl → CH3– CHCl – CH3

17. i) Do practice exercise #1 (pg 27) , understanding concepts # 2,3,4,5 & 6 ( pg 31)
ii) (complete & name the product) a) cyclohexene + Cl2 b) 3-methyl-3-hexene +HBr
c) 2,2-dimethyl-4-octene + F2 d) 2-methyl-3-pentene + HI

5) The alcohols (R-OH) are a reactive group of molecules because of the -OH of electrons and tend to undergo
different reactions around this active site (see pg 42 CHEM 12)
a) Preparation of alcohols (Markovnikov) CH3CH2CH=CH2 + H2O → CH3-CH2-CHOH-CH3 hydration
b) Preparation of alkenes from alcohols: CH3-CHOH-CH3 + cat → CH3CH=CH2 + H2O dehydration
c) Oxidation of alcohols
i) primary alcohols: CH3-CH2OH + ox agent → CH3-CHO → CH3-COOH
ethanol ethanal(aldehyde) ethanoic acid
ii) secondary alcohols: CH3-CHOH-CH3 + ox agent → CH3-CO-CH3
2-propanol 2-propanone (ketone)
iii) tertiary alcohols: CH3-C(CH3)OH-CH3 + ox agent → NO RX
2-methyl-2-propanol

6) The ethers (R-O-R’) are generally not very reactive (they do burn well) (see pg 47 CHEM 12)
a) Preparation of ethers from alcohols CH3-OH + CH3-OH → CH3-O-CH3 + H2O condensation rx

7) Changing Carboxylic acids to organic salts (ESTERS) – esterification rx (see pg 64 CHEM 12)
Ex: R-COOH (carboxylic acid) + R”-OH (alcohol) → R-COO-R’ (ester)
CH3-CH2-CH2COOH + CH3-CH2OH → CH3-CH2-CH2COO-CH2-CH3
ethyl butanoate (sweet smell in pineapples )
8) Changing esters back to acids & alcohols – hydrolysis rx (see pg 67 CHEM 12)

9) Preparation & reactions of amines (see pg 73 CHEM 12)

10) Preparation & reactions of amides (see pg 74-78 CHEM 12)

11) *Flowchart of organic reactions (see pg 83 CHEM 12)
