Document Summary

Functional groups of simple organic compounds have specific properties and reactivities based on their polarity, electronegativity, etc. They are more reactive than their alkyl substituents. Alcohols an alkyl chain with a hydroxyl, -oh. Thiol an alkyl chain with a sulfhydryl, -sh. Amines the functional group is a nitrogen is basic (can be protonated) Amides the hydroxyl of a carboxylic acid is replaced by a nitrogen atom. Any functional groups on an amino acid side chain must be memorized. Know: name, aromatic/not, polar/nonpolar, acid/base/neither, recognize functional group in given molecule. Aldehyde the functional group is a carbonyl in which the carbon is bonded to a carbon and a hydrogen; reactive compounds found in nature (e. g. , formaldehyde is used as a preservative). Ketones the functional group is a carbonyl in which the carbon is bonded to two other carbons; not very reactive; used as solvents. Ether an oxygen bonded to two carbons (2 alkyl groups, r1, r2).
