Study Notes

Naming Cycloalkanes

Side chains in cycloalkanes are named as if they were alkyl substituents on a cyclic parent compound.

Naming Cyclic Hydrocarbons with One Ring

Cyclic hydrocarbons with one ring are named using the prefix "cyclo" followed by the alkane name, with the number of carbon atoms in the ring indicated by the suffix (-ane, -ene, or -yne).

Numbering Carbon Atoms in Cycloalkanes

The numbering of carbon atoms in cycloalkanes is chosen to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers.

Naming Cycloalkenes and Cycloalkynes

Cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes are named similarly to cycloalkanes, with the suffixes (-ene) and (-yne) indicating the presence of a double or triple bond, respectively.

Naming Multiple Substituents in Cycloalkanes

Multiple substituents in cycloalkanes are named in alphabetical order, with the substituent getting the lowest number being listed first.
