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).
