I took this class once in school Amines and amides

Was filled with all these weird rules I love those ketones

We learned the functional groups Esthers and ethers

They are reactive sites

Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes Ethers are where we'll begin

Carbon bonds up to three times These groups contain oxygen

They're named with "ane", "ene", or "yne" It joins 2 HC groups

And now our skills will shine The name contains "oxy"

Amines are where we'll go next

Chains of hydrocarbons They come in 3 cool classes

Nitrogen is in there often These guys contain nitrogen

Double bonded oxygens And an "amine" suffix

Tell us what you call these compounds!

Chains of hydrocarbons

Hey I just learned these Nitrogen is in there often

And they're organic Double bonded oxygens

Alcohols and Carboxylic acids Tell us what you call these compounds!

And all the aldehydes

Amines and amides Hey we're not done yet

I love those ketones Alcohols are crazy

Esthers and ethers They contain hydroxyl

Hey I just learned these That's "OH" baby

And they're organic Sometimes you will see

Alcohols and Carboxylic acids COOH

And all the aldehydes At the end of a chain,

it's Carboxylic acid! And all the aldehydes

Amines and amide s

Hey can you smell that? I love those ketones

Those fragrant esters! Esters and ethers

They're similar to Carboxylic acids Before they came into my life

Another alkyl group I missed them so bad

Replaces the "H" I missed them so bad

The smelly result is Named with "oate" I missed them so so bad

Carbonyl groups are in my life Before they came into my life

In sugars and carbs I missed them so bad

In two compounds And they should know that

Ketones and aldehydes So call me crazy

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
