SCH4U Organic Chemistry Project Canadian College Italy 2012 Here are the lyrics: I took this class once in school Was filled with all these weird rules We learned the functional groups They are reactive sites Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes Carbon bonds up to three times They're named with "ane", "ene", or "yne" And now our skills will shine Chains of hydrocarbons Nitrogen is in there often Double bonded oxygens Tell us what you call these compounds! Hey I just learned these And they're organic Alcohols and Carboxylic acids And all the aldehydes Amines and amides I love those ketones Esthers and ethers Hey I just learned these And they're organic Alcohols and Carboxylic acids And all the aldehydes Amines and amides I love those ketones Esthers and ethers Ethers are where we'll begin These groups contain oxygen It joins 2 HC groups The name contains "oxy" Amines are where we'll go next They come in 3 cool classes These guys contain nitrogen And an "amine" suffix Chains of hydrocarbons Nitrogen is in there often Double bonded oxygens Tell us what you call these compounds! Hey we're not done yet Alcohols are crazy They contain hydroxyl That's "OH" baby Sometimes you will see COOH At the end of a chain, it's Carboxylic acid! Hey can you smell that? Those fragrant esters! They're similar to Carboxylic acids Another alkyl group Replaces the "H" The smelly result is Named with "oate" Carbonyl groups are in my life In sugars and carbs In two compounds Ketones and aldehydes Aldehydes are on the end They want more space But not ketones Their group is tucked up inside And finally we Have the amides Who have carbonyl Plus an NH2 group Hey I just taught these They're organic Alcohols and Carboxylic acids And all the aldehydes Amines and amides I love those ketones Esters and ethers Before they came into my life I missed them so bad I missed them so bad I missed them so so bad Before they came into my life I missed them so bad And they should know that So call me crazy
