Aromatic compounds with six carbon atoms in a ring structure

How are monosubstituted benzenes named if they don't have common names accepted by IUPAC?

As derivatives of benzene

In IUPAC nomenclature, if a compound is named as a derivative of a parent molecule due to the presence of a special substituent, the special substituent is assumed to occupy which ring position?

Ring position number 1

What does m-Chloroaniline refer to in IUPAC nomenclature?

[Chloro(methyl)amino]benzene

Study Notes

Active Assisted Exercises

  • When the voluntary contraction of a muscle is insufficient to produce movement, the principle of active assisted exercises is used to facilitate movement.
  • Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM) is a type of exercise where the patient actively contracts the muscle, but the movement is assisted by an external force.

Types of Assistance

  • Assisted exercises can involve the use of wooden sticks, T-bars, finger ladders, and pulleys to provide external support.

When to Use AAROM

  • Active assisted exercises are typically used when the patient's muscle strength is insufficient to produce movement.

Progressive Assistance

  • As muscular power increases during active assisted exercises, the assistance provided should be gradually decreased.

Progressing to AROM

  • Patients can be progressed to Active Range of Motion (AROM) exercises from AAROM when they reach a muscle strength level of 3 or 4.

Sensory Feedback

  • The main purpose of providing sensory feedback from the contracting muscle in early stages of neuromuscular re-education is to facilitate muscle learning and re-education.

Indications for AAROM

  • The primary indication for using AAROM exercises is to facilitate movement and improve muscle strength in patients with weak muscles.

Contra-Indications

  • A contra-indication of AAROM exercises is the presence of severe pain or inflammation, which may exacerbate the condition.

Avoiding Trick Movements

  • The purpose of avoiding trick movements during AAROM exercises is to ensure that the patient is using the correct muscle pattern and not relying on compensatory movements.

Role of Support

  • The role of support in AAROM exercises is to provide external assistance to facilitate movement and reduce muscle strain.

Preliminary Stretching

  • The purpose of preliminary stretching of the weak muscle in AAROM exercises is to increase muscle length and reduce the risk of injury.

Precautions for ROM Exercises

  • A precaution associated with performing range of motion (ROM) exercises proximal and distal to an injured joint is the risk of exacerbating the injury.

Fixation of Proximal Part

  • Fixation of the proximal part of the prime movers is important in AAROM exercises to ensure that the correct muscle pattern is used.

Assisted Exercises in Neuromuscular Re-education

  • The purpose of assisted exercises on the correct pattern in neuromuscular re-education is to facilitate muscle learning and re-education.

Benefits of Regular Exercise

  • One benefit of regular exercise mentioned in the text is improved muscle strength and function.

Organic Chemistry

Nomenclature of Disubstituted Benzenes

  • The common nomenclature system uses a numbering system to name disubstituted benzenes.

IUPAC Names for Disubstituted Benzenes

  • The IUPAC name for the three dimethylbenzenes according to the common system is 1,2-dimethylbenzene, 1,3-dimethylbenzene, and 1,4-dimethylbenzene.

Ortho, Meta, and Para Prefixes

  • In the common system, 'ortho' (o) refers to a 1,2-substituted benzene.

Kekule Structure of Benzene

  • The Kekule structure of benzene is a planar, hexagonal ring with alternating double bonds.

Nomenclature of Monosubstituted Benzenes

  • Monosubstituted benzenes are named by adding a prefix to the parent name benzene, indicating the type of substituent.

IUPAC Nomenclature Rules

  • In IUPAC nomenclature, if a compound is named as a derivative of a parent molecule due to the presence of a special substituent, the special substituent is assumed to occupy position 1 on the ring.
  • If two substituents on a ring are different, they are numbered in alphabetical order.

IUPAC Name for p-Bromochlorobenzene

  • The correct IUPAC name for the compound p-Bromochlorobenzene is 1-bromo-4-chlorobenzene.

Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  • Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contain multiple benzene rings.

Naming Rule for Polysubstituted Benzenes

  • The naming rule for polysubstituted benzenes when one of the substituents imparts a special name to the compound is to use the special name as the parent name.

m-Chloroaniline

  • In IUPAC nomenclature, m-Chloroaniline refers to 3-chloroaniline.
