Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Aliphatic hydrocarbons are straight or branched chains of carbon and hydrogen. These include alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, acetylenes, and arenes. Generally, ahphatic hydrocarbons, with the exception of hexane, exhibit toxic health effects at high concentrations. Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkenes and alkynes, are similarly inert in the body. Examples of ahphatic hydrocarbons and their 8-hour time-weighted average TLVs are n-hexane (50 ppm), hexane (500 ppm), and octane (300 ppm). 

The enhanced electron density of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes) allows them to be directly sulfonated on the terminal carbon atom by the action of chlorosulfonic acid (Equations 2 and 3). 

Aliphatic hydrocarbons include three major groups alkanes alkenes and alkynes Alkanes are hydrocarbons m which all the bonds are single bonds alkenes contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond and alkynes contain at least one carbon-carbon... 

Monocyclic Aliphatic Hydrocarbons. Monocyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons (with no side chains) are named by prefixing cyclo- to the name of the corresponding open-chain hydrocarbon having the same number of carbon atoms as the ring. Radicals are formed as with the alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Examples ... 

Because the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in the molecule tend to dominate its properties, an aliphatic hydrocarbon is first classified as an alkane, alkene, or alkyne. Then the longest chain of carbon atoms is used to form the root of the name. Other hydrocarbon groups attached to the longest chain are named as side chains. 

Abstract The basic principles of the oxidative carbonylation reaction together with its synthetic applications are reviewed. In the first section, an overview of oxidative carbonylation is presented, and the general mechanisms followed by different substrates (alkenes, dienes, allenes, alkynes, ketones, ketenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, amines) leading to a variety of carbonyl compounds are discussed. The second section is focused on processes catalyzed by Pdl2-based systems, and on their ability to promote different kind of oxidative carbonylations under mild conditions to afford important carbonyl derivatives with high selectivity and efficiency. In particular, the recent developments towards the one-step synthesis of new heterocyclic derivatives are described. 

Scientists classify hydrocarbons as either aliphatic or aromatic. An aliphatic hydrocarbon contains carbon atoms that are bonded in one or more chains and rings. The carbon atoms have single, double, or triple bonds. Aliphatic hydrocarbons include straight chain and cyclic alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. An aromatic hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon based on the aromatic benzene group. You will encouter this group later in the section. Benzene is the simplest aromatic compound. Its bonding arrangement results in special molecular stability. 

On the basis of structure, hydrocarbons are divided into two main classes, aliphatic and aromatic. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are further divided into families alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and their cyclic analogs. Figure 1-6 shows the relationships between some of these classes and families of hydrocarbons. 

Aromatic carbon-carbon bonds are intermediate in length (139 pm) between that of a C—C single bond (154 pm) and a C—C double bond (134 pm). An aromatic ring is characterized by a delocalized r system in contrast to the localized bonds present in aliphatic hydrocarbons. 18.65 The empirical formula is C2H5. The compound is an alkane the molecular formula might be C4H10, which matches the formula for alkanes (C H2n + 2). It is not an alkene or alkyne, because they both have (mole H) (mole C) ratios less than 2.5. 

Organic electroreductions at mercury cathodes in tetraalkylammonium (TAA+) electrolyte solutions at the limit of the cathodic potential window are described. Aromatic hydrocarbons, fluorides, ethers and heterocycles, as well as aliphatic ketones, alkenes and alkynes have been studied, using both aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. At these very negative potentials neither the TAA+ cation nor the mercury cathode are inert, instead they combine to form TAA-mercury. It is hypothesized, and supporting evidence is presented, that TAA-mercury serve as mediators in the organic electroreductions. The mediated reactions show remarkable selectivity in certain cases and it is shown that this selectivity can be improved by the choice of the TAA +. 

Hydrocarbons are also divided into classes called aliphatic and aromatic. Aromatic hydrocarbons are related to benzene and are always cyclic. Aliphatic hydrocarbons may be open-chain or cyclic. Aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons are called alicyclic. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are one of three types alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. 

The hydrocarbons we have examined thus far— including the alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, as well as the conjugated dienes and polyenes of Chapter 16— have been aliphatic hydrocarbons. In Chapter 17, we continue our study of conjugated systems with aromatic hydrocarbons. 

From our study so far vve know what kind of chemical properties to expect of an aliphatic hydrocarbon, that is, of an alkane, alkene, or alkyne. We know what kind of chemical behavior to expect of the parent aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene. Many important compounds are not just aliphatic or Just aromatic, however, but contain both aliphatic and aromatic units hydrocarbons of this kind are known collectively as arenes. Ethylbenzene for example, contains a benzene ring and an aliphatic side chain.
