Introductions
1. Organic chemicals compounds appear in materials
like clothing, fuels, polymers dyes and medicines.
2. F. Wohler synthesised an organic compound, urea
from an inorganic compound, ammonium cyanate.

STRUCTURAL REPRESENTATION OF
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Complete, condensed and bond line
structural formulas
Organic compounds structures are represented
in several ways.
1. The Lewis structure or dot structure, dash structure,
condensed structure and bond line structural
formulas are some of the specific types.
2. The Lewis structures, however, can be simplified
by representing the two-electron covalent
bond by a dash (–).

Thus, ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2)
Such structural representations are called
complete structural formula
H H
H C C H
H H
Ethane
H H
C C
H H
Ethene
H C C H
Ethyne

These structures can also be represented by the following
ways
CH3 CH3 H2C H2C HC HC
Ethane Ethene Ethyne
organic chemists use another way of representing the
structures, in which only lines are used. In this bond-line
structural representation of organic compounds, carbon and
hydrogen atoms are not shown and the lines representing
carbon-carbon bonds are drawn in a zig-zag fashion.
For example
i) CH3CH2CHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
|
CH3
3-Methyloctane can be represented in various
forms as:

Three-Dimensional Representation
of Organic Molecules
The three-dimensional (3-D) structure of organic
molecules can be represented on paper by using certain
conventions. For example, by using solid and dashed
wedge formula, the 3-D image of a molecule from a two-
dimensional picture can be perceived.
solid-wedge is used to indicate a bond projecting
out of the plane of paper, towards the observer.
___________________________________________________________
The dashed-wedge is used to depict the bond
projecting out of the plane of the paper and
away from the observer.

The bonds lying in plane of the paper are depicted by using a
normal line (—).

CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANIC
COMPOUNDS

Acyclic or open chain compounds
These compounds are also called as aliphatic compounds and
consist of straight or branched chain compounds, for example:

Alicyclic or closed chain or ring compounds
Alicyclic (aliphatic cyclic) compounds contain carbon atoms
joined in the form of a ring (homocyclic). Sometimes atoms
other than carbon are also present in the ring (heterocylic).
Some examples are

Aromatic compounds
Aromatic compounds are special types of compounds.
These include benzene and other related ring
compounds (benzenoid).

In order to clearly identify compound, a systematic method
of naming has been developed and is known as the IUPAC
(International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)
system of nomenclature.
The names are correlated with the structure such that the
reader or listener can deduce the structure from the name.

The traditional names are considered a trivial or common
names.

Hydrocarbons : Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen
only are called hydrocarbons.

Straight chain hydrocarbons: The names of such compounds are
based on their chain structure, and end with suffix ‘-ane’ and
carry a prefix indicating the number of carbon atoms present in
the chain (except from CH4 to C4H10, where the prefixes are
derived from trivial names).

Branched chain hydrocarbons: In a branched chain
compound small chains of carbon atoms are attached at one or
more carbon atoms of the parent chain. The small carbon
chains (branches) are called alkyl groups.
In order to name such compounds, the names of alkyl groups
are prefixed to the name of parent alkane. An alkyl group is
derived from a saturated hydrocarbon by removing a
hydrogen atom from carbon. Thus, CH4 becomes -CH3 and is
called methyl group.

Nomenclature of branched chain alkanes
1. First of all, the longest carbon chain in the molecule is identified.
Example

2 . The numbering is done in such a way that the branched
carbon atoms get the lowest possible numbers.
3. If different alkyl groups are present, they are listed in alphabetical
order. Thus, name for the compound shown above is: 6-ethyl-2-
methylnonane.
[Note: the numbers are separated from the groups by
hyphens and there is no break between methyl and nonane.]

4. If two or more identical substituent groups are present then
the numbers are separated by commas. The names of identical
substituents are not repeated, instead prefixes such as di (for 2),
tri (for 3), tetra (for 4), penta (for 5), hexa (for 6) etc. are used.

5. If the two substituents are found in equivalent positions, the
lower number is given to the one coming first in the alphabetical
listing.
6. The branched alkyl groups can be named by following the above
mentioned procedures. carbon atom ofthe branch that attaches
to the root alkane is numbered 1 as exemplified below.

While writing the trivial names of substituents’ in alphabetical
order, the prefixes iso- and neo- are considered to be the part
of the fundamental name of alkyl group. The prefixes sec- and
tert- are not considered to be the part of the fundamental
name.
In multi-substituted compounds, the following rules may also
be remembered:
• If there happens to be two chains of equal size, then
that chain is to be selected which contains more number
of side chains.
• After selection of the chain, numbering is to be done
from the end closer to the substituent.

For example
Cyclic Compounds: A saturated monocyclic : Compound
is named by prefixing ‘cyclo’ to the corresponding straight chain
alkane. If side chains are present, then the rules given above are
applied. Names of some cyclic compounds
are given below.

 A functional group, as defined earlier, is an atom or a group
of atoms bonded together in a unique manner which is usually
the site of chemical reactivity in an organic molecule.
For example, CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, and (CH3)2CHOH — all
having -OH functional group liberate hydrogen on reaction with
sodium metal.
First of all, the functional group present in the molecule is
identified which determines the choice of appropriate suffix.

The longest chain of carbon atoms containing the functional
group is numbered in such a way that the functional group is
attached at the carbon atom possessing lowest possible
number in the chain.
In the case of poly functional compounds, one of the
functional groups is chosen as the principal functional group
and the compound is then named on that basis.
The choice of principal functional group is made on the basis
of order of preference. The order of decreasing priority for
some functional groups is: -COOH, –SO3H, -COOR (R=alkyl
group), COCl, -CONH2, -CN,-HC=O, >C=O, -OH, -NH2, >C=C<,
-C≡C- .

For IUPAC nomenclature of substituted benzene compounds, the
substituent is placed as prefix to the word benzene as shown in
the following examples.

If benzene ring is disubstituted, the position of substituents is
defined by numbering the carbon atoms of the ring such that the
substituents are located at the lowest numbers possible.
In the trivial system of nomenclature the terms ortho (o), meta
(m) and para (p) are used as prefixes to indicate the relative
positions 1,2- ;1,3- and 1,4- respectively.

Structural Isomerism
(i) Chain isomerism: When two or more compounds have
similar molecular formula but different carbon skeletons, these
are referred to as chain isomers and the phenomenon is
termed as chain isomerism.

(ii) Position isomerism: When two or more compounds differ in
the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon
skeleton, they are called position isomers and this phenomenon is
termed as position isomerism.
(iii) Functional group isomerism: Two or more compounds
having the same molecular formula but different functional groups
are called functional isomers and this phenomenon is termed as
functional group isomerism.

(iv) Metamerism: It arises due to different alkyl chains on
either side of the functional group in the molecule.

Stereoisomeris
m
The compounds that have the same constitution
and sequence of covalent bonds but differ in
relative positions of their atoms or groups in
space are called stereoisomers. This special type
of isomerism is called as stereoisomerism and
can be classified as geometrical and optical
isomerism.

In an organic reaction, the organic molecule (also referred as
a substrate) reacts with an appropriate attacking reagent and
leads to the formation of one or more intermediate(s) and
finally product(s)
The general reaction is depicted as follows :

 Substrate is that reactant which supplies carbon to the new
bond and the other reactant is called reagent.
If both the reactants supply carbon to the new bond then
choice is arbitrary and in that case the molecule on
which attention is focused is called substrate.
Reaction mechanism: A sequential account of each
step, describing details of electron movement,
energetics during bond cleavage and bond
formation, and the rates of transformation
of reactants into products (kinetics) is
referred to as reaction mechanism.

Fission of a Covalent Bond
Cleavages of covalent bonds
(i) Heterolytic cleavage: In heterolytic
cleavage, the bond breaks in such a fashion
that the shared pair of electrons remains
with one of the fragments.
 one atom has a sextet electronic structure
and a positive charge and the other, a
valence octet with at least one lone pair
and a negative charge.

(ii) Homolytic cleavage: In homolytic cleavage, one of the
electrons of the shared pair in a covalent bond goes with each
of the bonded atoms. Thus in homolytic cleavage, the
movement of a single electron takes place instead of an
electron pair.
 A species having a carbon atom possessing sextext of
electrons and a positive charge is called a carbocation (earlier
called carbonium ion).
 The observed order of carbocation stability is:
 The organic reactions which proceed through heterolytic
bond cleavage are called ionic or heteropolar or just polar
reactions.

 Such cleavage results in the formation of neutral species
(atom or group) which contains an unpaired electron. These
species are called free radicals.
 A homolytic cleavage can be shown as:
 Organic reactions, which proceed by homolytic fission
are called free radical or homopolar or nonpolar
reactions.

Nucleophiles and Electrophiles
Nucleophile (Nu) :A reagent that brings an electron pair
i.e., nucleus seeking and the reaction is then called
nucleophilic.
Electrophile (E+): A reagent that takes away an electron pair
i.e., electron seeking and the reaction is called electrophilic.
 During a polar organic reaction, a nucleophile attacks an
electrophilic centre of the substrate which is that specific atom
or part of the electrophile that is electron deficient.
Similarly, the electrophiles attack at nucleophilic centre,
which is the electron rich centre of the substrate.

Electron Movement in Organic Reactions
The movement of electrons in organic reactions can be shown
by curved-arrow notation.
Presentation of shifting of electron pair is given below :

 Movement of single electron is indicated by a single barbed
‘fish hooks’ (i.e. half headed curved arrow).
Electron Displacement Effects in Covalent Bonds
The electron displacement in an organic molecule may take place
either in the ground state under the influence of an atom or a
substituent group or in the presence of an appropriate attacking
reagent.
examples of this type of electron displacements are:
• resonance effects
• Inductive effect

Resonance Structure: A single Lewis structure cannot explain
all the property of the molecule hence many Lewis structure
are proposed for a some molecule to explain the properties.
Different Lewis structure proposed are called as resonance
Lewis structure or canonical form of contributing structure the
phenomenon is called resonance and the structures proposed
are called resonance structure.
 The resonance structures (canonical structures or
contributing structures) are hypothetical and individually do
not represent any real molecule.
 The difference in energy between the actual structure and
the lowest energy resonance structure is called the
resonance stabilisation energy or simply the resonance
energy.

The following rules are applied while writing resonance
structures:
The resonance structures have
(i) the same positions of nuclei
(ii) the same number of unpaired electrons.
Resonance Effect: The resonance effect is defined as ‘the
polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction
of two π-bonds or between a π-bond and lone pair of electrons
present on an adjacent atom’.

There are two types of resonance effect
(i) Positive Resonance Effect (+R effect) : In this effect,
the transfer of electrons is away from an atom or
substituent group attached to the conjugated system.
(ii) Negative Resonance Effect (- R effect): This effect is
observed when the transfer of electrons is towards the
atom or substituent group attached to the conjugated
system.
Inductive Effect: The process of electron displacement of
electrons along the chain of carbon atoms due o the presence
of a polar covalent bond at one end of the chain.
This is a permanent effect and is generally represented by an
arrow as shown on the next slide.

Electromeric Effect (E effect)
It is defined as the complete transfer of a shared pair of π-
electrons to one of the atoms joined by a multiple bond on the
demand of an attacking reagent.
It may be noted that this effect decreases sharply as we move
away from the atom involved in the initial polar bond and
becomes negligible from the fourth atom onwards.
It arises whenever an electron withdrawing group is attached to
end of a carbon chain.

 There are two distinct types of electromeric effect.
(i) Positive Eelctromeric Effect (+E effect)
In this effect the π−electrons of the multiple bond are
transferred to that atom to which the reagent gets attached.
For example :
(ii) Negative Electromeric Effect (–E effect)
In this effect the π - electrons of the multiple bond are transferred
to that atom to which the attacking reagent does not get attached.

Hyperconjugation
Hyperconjugation is a general stabilising interaction. It involves
delocalisation of σ electrons of C—H bond of an alkyl group
directly attached to an atom of unsaturated system or to an atom
with an unshared p orbital. Hyperconjugation is a permanent
effect.
Example:

Once an organic compound is extracted from a natural source or
synthesised in the laboratory, it is essential to purify it. Various
methods used for the purification of organic compounds are
based on the nature of the compound and the impurity present in
it.
METHODS OF PURIFICATION OF
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
The common techniques used for purification are as follows :

 Sublimation: In this process the solid substance changes
from solid to vapour form without going to the liquid state it is
used to separate sublimable compound from non-sublimable
impurities.
 Crystallisation: It is based on the difference in
the solubilities of the compound and the
impurities in a suitable solvent.
 Distillation: This important method is used to separate:-
(i) Volatile liquids from nonvolatile impurities
(ii) And the liquids having sufficient difference in
their boiling points.

Distillation is further divided in to :
i) Fractional distillation: If the difference in boiling points of two
liquids is not much, simple distillation cannot be used to separate
them. The technique of fractional distillation is used in such cases.
ii) Steam distillation : This technique is applied to separate
substances which are steam volatile and are immiscible with water.
 Differential Extraction: The organic solvent and
the aqueous solution should be immiscible with each other so
that they form two distinct layers which can be separated by
separatory funnel.

 Chromatography: In this technique, the mixture of
substances is applied onto a stationary phase, which may be a
solid or a liquid. A pure solvent, a mixture of solvents,
or a gas is allowed to move slowly over the stationary phase.
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Adsorption chromatography : Is based on the fact that
different compounds are adsorbed on an adsorbent to different
degrees.
 Commonly used adsorbents are silica gel and alumina.

Column chromatography: It involves separation of a
mixture over a column of adsorbent (stationary phase) packed
in a glass tube.
Thin layer chromatography (TLC): Is another type of
adsorption chromatography, which involves separation of
substances of a mixture over a thin layer of an adsorbent
coated on glass plate.

Partition
chromatography
Continuous differential
partitioning of component of
a mixture between stationary
and mobile phase.
The relative adsorption of each component of the mixture is
expressed in terms of its retardation factor.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
The elements present in organic compounds are carbon and
hydrogen. In addition to these, they may also contain oxygen,
nitrogen, sulphur, halogens and phosphorus.
Detection of Carbon and Hydrogen
Carbon and hydrogen are detected by heating the compound
with copper(II) oxide.
Carbon present in the compound is oxidised to carbon dioxide
(tested with lime-water, which develops turbidity)

Hydrogen to water (tested with anhydrous copper sulphate,
which turns blue).
Detection of Other Elements: Nitrogen, sulphur, halogens
and phosphorus present in an organic compound are detected
by “Lassaigne’s test”.
(A) Test for Nitrogen: The sodium fusion extract is boiled with
iron(II) sulphate and then acidified with concentrated sulphuric
acid. The formation of Prussian blue colour confirms the
presence of nitrogen.

 Sodium cyanide first reacts with iron(II) sulphate and forms
sodium hexacyanoferrate(II).
On heating with concentrated sulphuric acid some iron(II) ions
are oxidised to iron(III) ions which react with sodium
hexacyanoferrate(II) to produce iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II)
(ferriferrocyanide) which is Prussian blue in colour.
(B) Test for Sulphur:
(a) The sodium fusion extract is acidified
with acetic acid and lead acetate is added
to it. A black precipitate of lead sulphide indicates the presence
of sulphur.

(b) On treating sodium fusion extract with sodium nitroprusside,
appearance of a violet colour further indicates the presence of
sulphur.
(C) Test for Halogens: The sodium fusion extract is acidified
with nitric acid and then treated with silver nitrate.
Results:
 A white precipitate, soluble in ammonium hydroxide shows
the presence of chlorine.
 A yellowish precipitate, sparingly soluble in ammonium
hydroxide shows the presence of bromine.
 A yellow precipitate, insoluble in ammonium hydroxide
shows the presence of iodine.

(D) Test for Phosphorus: The compound is heated with an
oxidising agent (sodium peroxide). The phosphorus present in
the compound is oxidised to phosphate. The solution is boiled
with nitric acid and then treated with ammonium molybdate.
Result: A yellow colouration or precipitate indicates the
presence of phosphorus.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
Carbon and Hydrogen: A known mass of an organic compound
is burnt in the presence of excess of oxygen and copper(II)
oxide.
 Carbon and hydrogen in the compound are oxidised to carbon
dioxide and water respectively.
Observation
 The mass of water produced is determined by passing the
mixture through a weighed U-tube containing anhydrous calcium
chloride.
 Carbon dioxide is absorbed in another U-tube containing
concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide.

The increase in masses of calcium chloride and potassium
hydroxide gives the amounts of water and carbon dioxide from
which the percentages of carbon and hydrogen are calculated.

 Nitrogen: There are two methods for estimation
ofnitrogen: (i) Dumas method
(ii)Kjeldahl’s method.
(i) Dumas method: The nitrogen containing organic compound,
when heated with copper oxide in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide,
yields free nitrogen in addition to carbon dioxide and water.

(ii) Kjeldahl’s method: The compound containing nitrogen is
heated with concentrated sulphuric acid. Nitrogen in the
compound gets converted to ammonium sulphate .
 The liberated ammonia gas is absorbed in an excess of
standard solution of sulphuric acid.
 The amount of ammonia produced is determined by estimating
unreacted sulphuric acid left after the absorption of ammonia by
titrating it with standard alkali solution.

Drawbacks of this method: It is not applicable to
compounds containing nitrogen in nitro and azo groups and
nitrogen present in the ring (e.g. pyridine) as nitrogen of these
compounds does not change to ammonium sulphate under these
conditions.
 Halogens
Carius method: A known mass of an organic compound is heated
with fuming nitric acid in the presence of silver nitrate contained
in a hard glass tube known as Carius tube, in a furnace.
 Carbon and hydrogen present in the compound are oxidised to
carbon dioxide and water.
 The halogen present forms the corresponding silver halide
(AgX). It is filtered, washed, dried and weighed.

Sulphur: A known mass of an organic compound is heated in a
Carius tube with sodium peroxide or fuming nitric acid. Sulphur
present in the compound is oxidised to sulphuric acid.
It is precipitated as barium sulphate by adding excess of
barium chloride solution in water.
 The precipitate is filtered, washed, dried and weighed. The
percentage of sulphur can be calculated from the mass of barium
sulphate.

Phosphorus: A known mass of an organic compound is heated
with fuming nitric acid where upon phosphorus present in the
compound is oxidised to phosphoric acid.
It is precipitated as ammonium phosphomolybdate, by adding
ammonia and ammonium molybdate.
Oxygen: A definite mass of an organic compound is
decomposed by heating in a stream of nitrogen gas.
 The mixture of gaseous products containing oxygen is passed
over red-hot coke when all the oxygen is converted to carbon
monoxide.
 This mixture is passed through warm iodine pentoxide when
carbon monoxide is oxidised to carbon dioxide producing iodine.
 The percentage of oxygen can be derived from the amount of
carbon dioxide or iodine produced.
