Organic and Biological Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
• Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
• Carbon has the ability to form long chains.
• Without this property, large biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids could not form.

Alkanes
• Alkanes contain only single bonds.• They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons.
– They are “saturated” with hydrogens.

How to Name a Compound
1. Find the longest chain in the molecule.
2. Number the chain from the end nearest the first substituent encountered.
3. List the substituents as a prefix along with the number(s) of the carbon(s) to which they are attached.

Cycloalkanes• Carbon can also form ringed structures.• Five- and six-membered rings are most stable.
– They can take on conformations in which their bond angles are very close to the tetrahedral angle.
– Smaller rings are quite strained.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Reactions of Alkanes
• Alkanes are rather unreactive due to the presence of only C—C and C—H -bonds.
• Therefore, they make great nonpolar solvents.

![Page 19: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life: Organic and Biological Chemistry Lecture Presentation John D. Bookstaver St. Charles Community College Cottleville, MO.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56649e5f5503460f94b58b67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Organic and Biological Chemistry
Alkenes
• Alkenes contain at least one carbon–carbon double bond.
• They are unsaturated.– That is, they have fewer than the maximum number
of hydrogens.

![Page 20: Chapter 24 The Chemistry of Life: Organic and Biological Chemistry Lecture Presentation John D. Bookstaver St. Charles Community College Cottleville, MO.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56649e5f5503460f94b58b67/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Organic and Biological Chemistry
Structure of Alkenes
• Unlike alkanes, alkenes cannot rotate freely about the double bond.– The side-to-side overlap in the -bond makes this
impossible without breaking the -bond.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Nomenclature of Alkenes• The chain is numbered so the double bond gets the
smallest possible number.• cis-Alkenes have the carbons in the chain on the
same side of the molecule.• trans-Alkenes have the carbons in the chain on
opposite sides of the molecule.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Reactions of Alkenes
• One reaction of alkenes is the addition reaction.– In it, two atoms (e.g., bromine) add across the
double bond.– One -bond and one -bond are replaced by
two -bonds; therefore, H is negative.

• Alkynes contain at least one carbon–carbon triple bond.
• The carbons in the triple bond are sp-hybridized and have a linear geometry.
• They are also unsaturated.

Reactions of Aromatic Compounds
• In aromatic compounds, unlike in alkenes and alkynes, each pair of -electrons does not sit between two atoms.
• Rather, the electrons are delocalized; this stabilizes aromatic compounds.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Reactions of Aromatic Compounds
• Due to this stabilization, aromatic compounds do not undergo addition reactions; they undergo substitution.
• In substitution reactions, hydrogen is replaced by a substituent.

in peptide chains causes coils and helices in the chain.
• Kinking and folding of the coiled chain gives proteins a characteristic shape.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Amino Acids and Proteins• Most enzymes
are proteins.• The shape of the
active site complements the shape of the substrate on which the enzyme acts; hence, the “lock- and-key” model.

Organic and Biological Chemistry
Carbohydrates
• In solution, they form cyclic structures.• These structures can form chains of sugars
that form structural molecules such as starch and cellulose.

Lipids
• Lipids are a broad class of nonpolar organic molecules.
• The fats known as triglycerides are lipids made from carboxylic acids and glycerol.

Nucleic Acids
Two of the building blocks of RNA and DNA are sugars (ribose or deoxyribose) and cyclic bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine or uracil).
