Today, we are going to talk about the basic concepts of organic chemistry,
which can be classified into six sections.
Firstly, we have Halogenoalkanes and their reactions. These are organic
compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms, which undergo various
reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.
Halogenoalkanes are commonly used in refrigerants, and they play a crucial
role in our daily lives.
Secondly, we have Alcohols and their reactions. These are organic compounds
that contain a hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom in a hydrocarbon
chain. Alcohols undergo oxidation reactions to form carbonyl compounds and
can be reduced to form alkanes or alkyl halides. Ethanol, a common alcohol, is
widely used as a solvent and fuel.
Thirdly, we have Amines and their reactions. Amines are organic compounds
that contain a nitrogen atom with one, two, or three alkyl or aryl groups
attached to it. Amines can act as both bases and nucleophiles. One common
example of a commercially important product formed through amine reactions
is caffeine, a stimulant found in coffee, tea, and various other drinks and foods.
Fourthly, we have Aldehydes and Ketones and their reactions. These are
carbonyl compounds that contain a carbonyl group attached to a carbon atom
in a hydrocarbon chain. Aldehydes can be oxidized to form carboxylic acids,
while ketones cannot be oxidized. Both aldehydes and ketones can be reduced
to form alcohols.
Fifthly, we have Carboxylic Acids and their reactions. Carboxylic acids are
organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to a
carbon atom in a hydrocarbon chain. Carboxylic acids undergo various
reactions, including the formation of esters and amides. One common example
of a commercially important product formed through carboxylic acid reactions
is acetic acid, which is used to make vinegar.
Lastly, we have Amides and their reactions. Amides are organic compounds
that contain a carbonyl group attached to a nitrogen atom. Amides can be
hydrolysed to form carboxylic acids and amines. One common example of a
commercially important product formed through amide reactions is nylon, a
synthetic polymer used in making textiles.
