Lines
Bonds to atoms above the plane of the drawing (coming out, toward the viewer) are shown with a bold wedge ( ), with the narrow end of the wedge starting at the stereogenic center. Bonds to atoms below the plane (going in, away from the viewer) are shown with hash wedges ( ).

Benzene
The phenyl group A hydrogen is removed from a benzene ring, C6H6. Like a methyl or an ethyl group, a phenyl group is always attached to something else (not carbon).
Benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid
2-hydroxybenzoic acid
2,4,6-trichlorophenol
Functional group
A group of atoms whose bonding is the same from molecule to molecule. Imparts similar chemical and physical properties to the molecules which contain them.
Imine
Carbonnitrogen double bond Nitrogen attached to a hydrogen atom (H) or an organic group. The carbon has two additional single bonds
Examples of Imines
(E)-N-Benzylidenemethanamin
Imines
Related to ketones and aldehydes by replacement of the oxygen with an NR group When R = H, the compound is a primary imine When R is hydrocarbyl, the compound is a secondary imine
R2C=NR'
When R3 is OH, the imine is called an oxime
Naming Imines
Imines are systematically named by adding the word imine after the name of the corresponding aldehyde or ketone CH3CHNH ethanal imine (from ethanal, CH3CHO) Btw, is this a primary/secondary aldimine/ketamine?
Naming Imines
(CH3)2CNH Propanone imine Ethanal methyl imine CH3CHNCH3
Nitrile
CN
Nitriles
any organic compound that has a CN functional group Inorganic compounds containing the -CN group are not called nitriles, but cyanides
Naming Nitriles
2 ways of naming nitriles
Nitrile Style
The nitrile suffix is used in a very similar manner to carboxylic acids Faced with same compound, CH3CH2CH2CN Functional group is a -CN, therefore suffix = nitrile Hydrocarbon structure is an alkane therefore Longest chain is C4 Butanenitrile
Benzonitrile
Cyclopentanecarbonnitrile
Naming Nitriles
Butanedinitrile
RNO2
Nitro R-NO2
Aromatic nitro compounds. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) - A pale yellow, solid organic nitrogen compound used chiefly as an explosive, prepared by stepwise nitration of toluene
Reactions: Reduction
Nitro compounds are reduced to amines RNO2 + 3 H2 RNH2 + 2 H2O
Thiols
Organosulfur compound that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl (-C-SH or R-SH) group Have a foul smell Structurally similar to an alcohol but contains a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen atom normally found in an alcohol. Among the odorous principles in the scent of skunks and of freshly chopped onions
Synthesis
Reaction of related alcohol with hydrogen sulphide CH3OH + H2S CH3SH + H2O
Naming Thiols
Sulfur analogues of alcohols Named the same way too The root name is based on the longest chain with the -SH attached. The chain is numbered so as to give the thiol unit the lowest possible number. The thiol suffix is added after the hydrocarbon suffix : e.g. -ane + -thiol = -anethiol or -ene + thiol = -enethio
Naming Thiols
CH3CH(SH)CH3 Propan-2-thiol or 2-propanethiol
1-Butanethiol
Cyclopentanethiol
Naming Thiols
4-methylpentan-2-thiol
Sulphides
S atom bonded to two C atoms via s bonds R-S-R Named the same way as oxygen cousins, ethers Like many other sulfur-containing compounds, volatile thioethers characteristically have foul odors
Intermediate Thioethers
If one of the groups is more complex then the thioether group is usually treated as an alkylthio- (i.e. R-S-) substituent. The more complex group (i.e. longer chain, more branched, other substituents) defines the root CH3CH2CH2SCH3
1-methylthiopropane
Complex Thioethers
If both groups are complex then the ether can be named using thio E.g. CH3SCH2CH2CH3 Hydrocarbon structure is an alkane Functional group is an thioether, therefore prefix = -thio The longest continuous chain (including the S) is 5 therefore root = pent Numbering from the left as drawn to make the thio group locant 2 2-thiopentane
Examples (Simple)
Disulphides
Disulphide bond
Covalent bond, usually derived by the coupling of two thiol groups Also known as sulphide bridge
Disulphide Bond
Play an important role in the folding and stability of proteins E.g. two-amino-acid peptide cystine Composed of two cysteine amino acids joined by a disulfide bond
Ever wondered why hair doesnt seem to decompose along with dead bodies?
Over 90% of the dry weight of hair comprises proteins called keratins from the amino acid cysteine Hair has a high disulfide content The robustness conferred in part by disulfide linkages Recovery of virtually intact hair from ancient Egyptian tombs
