Study Notes

IUPAC Nomenclature Basics

  • IUPAC nomenclature is the accepted method for naming organic compounds.
  • The parent chain is the longest continuous carbon chain in an organic compound.
  • The first step in assembling a compound's IUPAC name is determining the parent chain name.

Prefixes for Carbon Atoms

  • 1 Carbon: meth-
  • 2 Carbons: eth-
  • 3 Carbons: prop-
  • 4 Carbons: but-
  • 5 Carbons: pent-
  • 6 Carbons: hex-
  • 7 Carbons: hept-
  • 8 Carbons: oct-
  • 9 Carbons: non-
  • 10 Carbons: dec-

Alkanes

  • Alkanes are hydrocarbons with no carbon-carbon double or triple bonds.
  • Alkanes are named by adding the suffix "-ane" to the parent chain.

Alkyl Substituents

  • Alkyl substituents (carbon chains) are named using the same prefixes as the parent chain, but with the suffix "-yl".
  • Substituents are listed in alphabetical order.
  • Multiple substituents of the same type are designated with prefixes ("di-," "tri-," "tetra-," and "penta-"). These prefixes are ignored when alphabetizing.

Halogen Substituents

  • Alkyl halides are alkanes with halogen substituents.
  • Halogen substituents are named with the following prefixes:
    • Fluorine (F): Fluoro-
    • Chlorine (Cl): Chloro-
    • Bromine (Br): Bromo-
    • Iodine (I): Iodo-

Alkenes

  • Alkenes contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Alkenes are named by adding the suffix "-ene" to the parent chain.
  • The location of the double bond is indicated by the lowest possible number before the parent chain name or suffix.

Alkynes

  • Alkynes contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
  • Alkynes are named by adding the suffix "-yne" to the parent chain.
  • The location of the triple bond is indicated by the lowest possible number before the parent chain name or suffix.

Cyclic Compounds

  • Cyclic alkanes are named with the prefix "cyclo-".
  • For example, cyclohexane.

Spiro Compounds

  • Spiro compounds have two rings connected by a single carbon.
  • To name a spiro compound:
    • Count the number of carbons in each ring, excluding the spiro center.
    • List the numbers from lowest to highest inside brackets.
    • Add the prefix "spiro" before the brackets.
    • Count the total number of carbons and write the alkane parent chain name after the brackets.

Bicyclic Compounds

  • Bicyclic compounds have two or more rings linked by two bridgehead carbons.
  • To name a bicyclic compound:
    • Count the total number of carbons in each ring (excluding bridgehead carbons).
    • List the numbers from highest to lowest inside brackets.
    • Add the prefix "bicyclo" before the brackets.
    • Count the total number of carbons in the parent chain and write the alkane name after the brackets.

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

  • Carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, esters, acid halides, amides, and nitriles are important carboxylic acid derivatives.
  • The highest priority functional group determines the suffix of the parent chain.
  • The parent chain must include the highest priority functional group.
  • The highest priority is given to the following functional groups: carboxylic acid, acid anhydride, ester, acid halide, amide, and nitrile.

Additional Functional Groups

  • Aldehydes: named with the suffix "-al"
  • Ketones: named with the suffix "-one"
  • Alcohols: named with the suffix "-ol" -If the hydroxyl group is not the highest priority, the prefix "hydroxy-" may be used.
  • Amines: named with the suffix "-amine" -Alkyl groups bonded to the nitrogen are indicated with "N".
  • Ethers: named with the prefix "alkoxy-"
  • Nitro groups: named with the prefix "nitro-"
  • Sulfur-containing compounds have various suffixes and prefixes.

Benzene Derivatives

  • Benzene derivatives are named by adding the name of the substituent to the word "benzene".
  • Some benzene derivatives have special names, such as benzaldehyde and benzoic acid.
