Study Notes

IUPAC Nomenclature

Deviations from the longest chain of carbons are indicated by assigning a number to the parent chain and numbering the substituents accordingly
The purpose of the IUPAC system of nomenclature is to provide a standardized method of naming organic compounds, ensuring clarity and precision in communication among chemists
The fundamental principle of IUPAC nomenclature is based on the concept of parent structure and substituents, where a molecule is divided into a main parent structure and smaller substituent groups attached to it

Hydrocarbons

Cycloalkanes are a type of saturated hydrocarbon that contains a ring of carbons, with the general formula CnH2n
Alkanes are a type of saturated hydrocarbon that contains a chain of carbons, with the general formula CnH2n+2
