Understanding Functional Groups

Basic Concepts

Key principles:

  • Structural definition
  • Electronic effects
  • Reactivity patterns
  • Nomenclature rules

Common Groups

Major categories:

  • Hydroxyls (-OH)
  • Carbonyls (C=O)
  • Carboxyls (-COOH)
  • Amines (-NH2)

Reactivity Patterns

Common reactions:

  • Nucleophilic addition
  • Electrophilic substitution
  • Elimination reactions
  • Oxidation/Reduction

Applications

Uses in chemistry:

  • Structure determination
  • Reaction prediction
  • Property analysis
  • Synthesis planning

Advanced Topics

Special considerations:

  • Protecting groups
  • Multiple functionality
  • Resonance effects
  • Steric effects
