Study Notes

Nomenclature of Organic Compounds

  • Organic compounds are named using IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) rules.
  • The rules consider the longest carbon chain and the presence of functional groups.
  • The root name depends on the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
  • Suffixes are used to indicate the type of bond or functional group.

Important Functional Groups

  • Hydroxyl group (-OH): Alcohols (e.g., Methanol, Ethanol )
  • Alkoxy group (-O-R): Ethers (e.g., Methoxymethane, Ethoxyethane)
  • Halo group (-F, -Cl, -Br, -I): Haloalkanes (e.g., Chloromethane, Chloroethane)
  • Carboxylic group (-COOH): Carboxylic acids (e.g., Methanoic acid, Ethanoic acid)

Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons

  • Alkanes: Single bonds, suffix -ane (e.g., Methane, Ethane).
  • Alkenes: Double bonds, suffix -ene (e.g., Ethene, Propene).
  • Alkynes: Triple bonds, suffix -yne (e.g., Ethyne, Propyne).
  • Branched hydrocarbons: Names include the location and name of the branch. Rules for numbering carbons: Choose the longest carbon chain. Number the carbons to give the substituent(branch) the lowest possible number. (e.g., 2-Methylpropane, 2,3-Dimethylhexane).

Additional Details

  • IUPAC nomenclature of hydrocarbons with more than one branch: Numbering should be done from the end in which the branch occurs.
  • If the same type of branch is present more than once, the numbering should be done to give the lowest numbers to the branches.
  • The position and name of branches are included in the name. (e.g., 2,3-dimethylbutane, 2-methylpropane)
