Summary from Organic Chemistry Packet:
1. Nomenclature based on alkanes Know alkanes for C 1 -C 10 Recognize the formula/name of – Alkenes (double bond) – Alkynes (triple bond) – Cycloalkanes (ring structure) Ex: Write the chemical formula and structural formula for: Octane 2- Butyne 1, 3- Heptadiene
2. Branched alkanes and isomers Understand the basic rules for writing & naming branched alkanes. Recognize and name structural isomers Ex: Name the following molecules:
How many isomers can you draw for heptane?
Geometric (stereo) Isomers: Recognize the terms cis-, trans- isomers – Unsaturated molecules – Orientation around the double bond
Functional Groups: Recognize functional groups Name compounds based on functional groups
Organic chemistry & reactions Be familiar with some basic properties of an organic reaction: – Combustion (know this for sure!) – Condensation (H 2 O removed) – Addition ( of a halogen to an unsaturated alkane) – Substitution (of a halide)
