Study Notes

Naming Alkynes

Alkynes are named in much the same way as alkenes, but ending the name with "-yne" instead of "-ene".
The position of the triple bond is indicated by a number.
When multiple substituents are present, they are listed in alphabetical order.
If multiple substituents are on the same carbon, the number for that carbon is used twice.
The priority for numbering is given to groups with higher functional groups like the hydroxyl group (OH).
If there are multiple chains with equal length, the parent chain is chosen based on the chain with the greater number of substituents.
If branching occurs at an equal distance from both ends of the longest chain, choose the name that gives the lower number at the first point of difference.

Naming Cycloalkanes

Cycloalkanes with only one ring are named by attaching "cyclo-" to the alkane name.
Substituted cycloalkanes are named with the substituents' names and positions indicated.
When a single ring system is attached to a longer chain, the ring system is named as a substituent.
If multiple ring systems is attached to a single chain, they are named as substituents.

Physical Properties of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

The boiling points and melting points of alkanes increase with increasing carbon chain length.
Branched alkanes have lower boiling points than straight-chain alkanes.

Alkanes: Sources and Petroleum Refining

Petroleum is the primary source of alkanes.
Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, including alkanes.
During petroleum refining, hydrocarbons are separated by distillation based on their volatility.
The various fractions of petroleum are used for a variety of applications, including fuels, solvents, and lubricants.

Catalytic Cracking

Catalytic cracking converts heavier hydrocarbons into gasoline.
During cracking, hydrocarbons are heated with catalysts to break them down into smaller, more branched hydrocarbons.
2,2,4-Trimethylpentane (isooctane) burns smoothly in internal combustion engines and serves as a standard for octane ratings of gasoline.
