Classification of Organic Compounds
 Organic compounds constitute about 90% of all compounds.
 Depending upon the arrangement of carbon atoms in their
structure, organic compounds are broadly categorized into
1. Acyclic or Open Chain compounds
2. Cyclic or Closed Chain compounds
Acyclic or Open Chain Compounds
 The carbon atoms are present in the form of an open chain.
 This chain may either be a straight chain or a branched chain.
 These were initially known as Aliphatic compounds because the
compounds of this class were derived from either animal or
vegetable fats
 Straight Chain Compounds: The carbon skeleton is in the form of
a straight chain.
Examples:
 n-Propane CH3-CH2-CH3
 Propene CH2=CH-CH3
Branched Chain Compounds: The carbon skeleton is in the
form of a branched chain.
Examples: Isobutylene
 They are marked by the presence of one or more closed chains or
ring of atoms in their structure.
 Depending on whether there is a presence of any other atomapart from
carbon in the constitution of the ring, they are further classified as:
 Homocyclic or Carbocyclic Compounds
 Heterocyclic Compounds
Homocyclic or Carbocyclic Compounds
 The rings in these compounds are entirely made up of carbon atoms.
 No other atom is present in the ring skeleton.
 These can be further divided into two sub-classes:
 Alicyclic Compounds
 Aromatic Compounds
Cyclic or Closed Chain Compounds
Alicyclic Compounds
This name is attributed to their resemblance to Aliphatic
compounds in their properties.
 Compound that is both aliphatic and cyclic
 The examples of this category include cyclopropane, cyclobutane,
cyclopentane, cyclohexane, etc.
Aromatic Compounds
 These are cyclic unsaturated compounds.
 They derive their name from the Greek word Aroma which means
“fragrant smell” since most of these compounds bear a pleasant smell.
 These are further classified into two types:
 Benzenoid Aromatic Compounds
 Non-Benzenoid aromatic Compounds
i). Benzenoid Aromatic Compounds:
• together in their structure, they can be further classified as
• Monocyclic, Bicyclic, Tricyclic.
• ii). Non-Benzenoid aromatic Compounds:
 They are characterized by the presence of a single benzene
ring to which other groups are attached.
 They are characterized by the presence of one or more fused or
isolated benzene rings as well as their derivatives in their structure.
 Depending upon the number of benzene rings that are fused
Anilin
Bicyclic and Tricyclic Compounds
 These are characterized by the presence of two or more rings in their
structure.
 Examples include Naphthalene, Phenanthrene as well as Anthracene.
Phenanthren
e
Naphthalene
Anthracen
eNon-Benzenoid Aromatic Compounds
 Aromatic compounds that contain other highly unsaturated rings in place of
the
benzene ring are called non-benzenoid aromatic compounds.
 Examples include
Azulen
e
Tropolon
e
When one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur,
boron, silicon etc, are present in the ring such compounds are known
as heterocyclic compounds.
Alicyclic heterocyclic compounds: Aliphatic heterocyclic compounds
that contain one or more heteroatoms in their rings
Heterocyclic Compounds
Aromatic heterocyclic compounds: Aromatic heterocyclic
compounds that contain one or more heteroatoms in their ring skeleton
