We discussed how to name and draw amines and amides, and compared their properties to those of alkanes.  The method for naming amines is incorrect in the text.  The longest carbon chain bonded to the nitrogen is the main chain.  Replace the -e of the alkane name with the carbon number to which the nitrogen is bonded, then the suffix -amine.  Alkyl groups bonded to the nitrogen are given the location -N-.  E.g. N,4-dimethylhexan-2-amine
Homework:  p.72 #1-3; p.76 #4-6;

The carboxyl group can form either a carboxylic acid or an ester.  We discussed how to name these hydrocarbon derivatives, and the reactions they undergo.  The text instructions are valid:  read p.58-67.
Homework:  p.60 #1, 2, IUPAC only; p.63 # 3-5; p.66 #11, 12; p.67 #13

The next functional group under study is the "carbonyl" group, or double-bonded oxygen.  If it is on the end of the carbon chain it is an aldehyde, and if in the middle it is a ketone.  Read p.49-56.  Note that ketones are now named with the location number just before the -one ending, such as with pentan-2-one instead of 2-pentanone.
Homework:  Answer p.51-52 #1-5; p.56 #6-7; p.57 #1-4.

Two of the reactions of alcohols that were discussed yesterday were performed today:  halogenation (condensation) and oxidation.  We performed these reactions in the experiment on p.84-85 of the text.  Write a lab report with your name, partner's name, date of experiment, title, purpose, observations, discussion, conclusion.  The discussion includes answers to:  a)  Write the IUPAC names for the alcohols.  b)  You were told to look for cloudiness as proof that a haloalkane was formed.  What property of haloalkanes does this demonstrate?   and the questions on p.85 c, e-g
It is due on Friday, Oct. 14.

We discussed the naming and properties of alcohols and ethers.  Read p.38, 40, 42-46.  The alcohol names should have the location number just before the "-ol" suffix at the end, not at the beginning.  CH3-CH2-CH2-OH is propan-1-ol, not 1-propanol.
Homework:  Answer p.41 #1, 2abd, 3; p.42 #4, 5; p.44 #7a, 8b; p.46 #11.

We created and named hydrocarbons, then exchanged them for others to name.
Halogens are a functional group that change the properties of hydrocarbons.  Read p.32-36 in text.
Homework:  p.33 #1, 2; p.37 Practice #6; handout with functional groups on it - answer questions at bottom.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds that have a benzene ring (C6H6) in them.  Benzene has special bonds in which the shared electrons are delocalized, so they act like something between single and double bonds.  The text reference for this is p.19-20 and p.28-29.  We also summarized the properties of hydrocarbons.
Homework:  p.21 #7, 8; p.22-23 #1-4 (use the "Learning Tip" on p.18 for help with #4)

The three major types of organic reactions are addition, substitution, and elimination.  You are to be able to identify a reaction as one of these types, and to predict products of these reactions.  There are examples in your text, p.24-26.
Stereoisomers differ from skeletal isomers.  They form because carbons cannot rotate around the double bond in an alkene.  To have cis and trans stereoisomers, each carbon in a double bond must have two different groups attached to it.
Homework:  p.27 #1abd, 3;  p.31 #2, 3bce;  small handout with stereoisomer questions

We went through how to name and write formulas of alkenes, alkynes, and cyclic hydrocarbons.  The text does not provide correct IUPAC names for these, so make sure you get notes from class.
Homework:  p.18-19 #3-6

Students completed an in-class assignment today.
