Definitions of organic compounds
Hydrocarbon: An organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.
Main groups of hydrocarbons:
Alkane: An acyclic saturated hydrocarbon, with the general formula C n H 2n+2 . Also called paraffin .
Alkene: An unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon–carbon double bond, with the general formula C n H 2n . Also called olefine .
Cycloalkane: A one-ring (monocyclic) saturated hydrocarbon, with the general formula C n H 2n . Also called naphthene .
Aromatic hydrocarbon : A cyclic (ring-shaped), planar (flat) molecule with a ring of resonance bonds that exhibits more stability than other geometric or connective arrangements with the same set of atoms. The simplest of the aromatics have 6 carbon atoms and contains 3 double bounds. A one ring aromatic without any substituents is called benzene, with the formula C6 H6.
Some under-groups of hydrocarbons given in this document:
Alkyl: An alkane substituent missing one hydrogen, with general formula C n H 2n+1
Branched alkyl: An alkyl with one or several side chains of carbon atoms connected to the main carbon atom chain.
Phenyl: An phenyl group is a benzene substituent missing one hydrogen, with general formula C6H5.
Classes of alcohols:
Alcohol: an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (–OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom
Alkanol: An alcohol where the hydroxyl group is bound to an alkyl. If the hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atom at the end of the alkyl, it is a 1-alkanol, if it is bound to the second carbon, it is a 2-alkanol, etc.
Branched alcohol: An alcohol where the hydroxyl group is bound to a branched alkyl.
Cyclo alcohol: An alcohol where the hydroxyl group is bound to a cycloalkane.
Phenol: An alcohol where the hydroxyl group is bound to a phenyl group, with the formula C6H5OH.
Phenols: A group of compounds consisting of a phenol molecule with one or more substiuents.
Diol: An organic compound containing two hydroxyl groups, R(-OH)2.
Triol : An organic compound containing three hydroxyl groups, R(-OH)3.
Classes of carboxylic acids:
Carboxylic acid: an organic compound that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH). The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R–COOH, with R referring to the rest of the molecule.
Alkanoic acid: A carboxylic acid where the R is an alkyl.
Branched alkanoic acid: A carboxylic acid where the R is a branched alkyl.
Phenyl-alkanoic acid: An alkanoic acid bound to a phenyl.
