    Study Notes

    IUPAC Nomenclature

    • IUPAC designates organic compounds with priority given to the longest chain of carbon atoms for the root name.
    • Alkyl groups with 1-4 carbons are named methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl respectively.
    • Alkyl groups containing 5 or more carbons are named by adding the suffix ‘-yl’ to the name of the corresponding alkane.
    • The “ane” in the root name of an alkane is replaced by ‘-ene’ for alkene and ‘-yne’ for alkynes.
    • Geometrical isomers can be designated with cis, trans or E, Z prefixes.
    • Salts are named with cation followed by the anion name of the carboxylic acid, where “ic acid” is replaced by “ate”
    • Esters are named as “organic salts”, with the alkyl name first, followed by the name of the carboxylate anion.

    Naming Substituents

    • Substituents on a nitrogen are designated with an “N” instead of a number.
    • Substituents are listed in alphabetical order and are assigned a position number regardless of redundancy.
    • Prefixes like sec-, tert-, di, tri, etc., are ignored in alphabetizing except iso and cyclo.

    Naming Alkenes

    • The chain numbering of carbons that includes the C=C is assigned so that the C=C has the lower position number.
    • The “ane” in the root name of an alkane is replaced by ‘-ene’ for an alkene.
    • The position number is assigned to the first carbon of the C=C.

    Naming Alkynes

    • The chain numbering of carbons that includes the CtC is assigned so that the CtC has the lower position number.
    • The “ane” in the root name of an alkane is replaced by ‘-yne’ for an alkyne.
    • The position number is assigned to the first carbon of the CtC.

    Naming Aromatic Compounds

    • Aromatic compounds derive from benzene and similar ring systems.
    • The priority is determined by functional groups using IUPAC naming conventions for both aliphatic and aromatic nomenclature.
    • Common parent ring systems are benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene.
    • Common substituents change the root name of the ring.

    Special Cases

    • When the chain cannot include the C=C, a substituent name is used (e.g., 3-vinylcyclohex-1-ene).
    • When the chain numbering cannot include the carbon of the COOH, the suffix “carboxylic acid” is used (e.g., 2-formyl-4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid).
