Organic Compounds Facts

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon, are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic" and "inorganic" carbon compounds while "useful in organizing the vast subject of chemistry... is somewhat arbitrary".

Organic chemistry is the science concerned with all aspects of organic compounds. Organic synthesis is the methodology of their preparation.

What are the differences between these organic compounds?
Q. How do these organic compounds differentiate? Sugars Organic acids Alcohols Esters Aldahydes I know that for alcohol, it is different because it's carbon chain ends in OH, but how about the rest?
Asked by FJ - Fri Sep 5 14:53:35 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is basic organic chemistry. Get very familiar with these terms. Let's take them in a turn to make sense of them...to see how they relate to one another: 1. Aldehydes have a -CH(=O) attached...eg CH3CH(=O), acetaldehyde. (note the O is attached to C via a double bond) 2. If you reduce an aldehyde, you get an alcohol. which has a hydroxyl group attached, eg... CH3CH(=O) + H2 ---> CH3CH2OH, ethanol. 3. If you oxydize an aldehyde, you get an organic (carboxylic) acid, which has a carboxyl group attached, eg CH3CH(=O) + 1/2 O2 ---> CH3COOH, acetic acid. 4. If you react above acid and alcohol, splitting out water, you get an ester, eg CH3COOH + HOCH2CH3 ---> H2O + CH3COOCH2CH3, ethyl acetate. 5. Sugars are polyhydroxyl compounds...also [cont.]

How do I figure out these organic compounds?
Q. "The following names for organic compounds are incorrect. Draw the structure which was intended by each name, and give the correct name for each compound. a. 4-methylpentane b. 1-methyl-2-ethylbutane c. 1,1,1-trimethylpentane d. 2-ethylhexane" I can figure out the drawings, but I have no idea how to correctly name this compounds! Please help!

A. After you draw the new structures, set aside these names and create you own name. Keep in mid that you need to find the longest continuous C chain to be the parent chain, even if it goes around bends.(b,c,d) Number the parent chain to give the lowest set of number for branches.(a) Name each carbon only once. If it is part of the parent, it cannot also be a branch. (b,c,d) The letters after each sentence indicate in which problem you will encounter a violation of this rule.
