Naming Organic

Compounds
Alkanes (general formula: CnH2n+2)

• (1) consisting only of H and C atoms


• (2) All bonds are single bonds.
Naming Alkanes
• 1) Find the longest continuous carbon
chain. It is known as main chain.
No. of C atom Stem

• Add –ane as a suffix to this stem.

Example 1:

CH3 CH2 CH2 CH3


Butane

CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3

Hexane
H2
CH3 CH2 CH CH2 CH2 C CH2

Main chain

Side chain
• 2) Side chain are ended with suffix –yl.
• 3) Number the main chain consecutively,
starting at the end nearest a side chain.

Example 2:
H2 H2
CH3 CH CH2 C C CH3
2-methylhexane

CH3

CH3 CH2 CH CH2 CH2 CH3


3-ethylhexane

Example 3: CH3

CH2
3-ethyl-4-methylheptane
CH3

• 4) Listing side chain in alphabetical order


CH3 CH3
2,3-dimethylbutane
CH3 CH CH CH3

• The prefix di-, tri-, tetra- etc., used to


designate several groups of the same kind,
are not considered when alphabetizing.
• Note that numbers are separated by
commas, while a number and a letter
are separated by a hyphen.

Naming Organic Compounds (Continued…)
• (1) Find and name the longest continuous carbon
chain.
• (2) Identify the type of bonding in the carbon chain
• All single bonds in the carbon chain -ane
• One double bond in the carbon chain -ene
• One triple bond in the carbon chain -yne
Example:
CH3 CH2 CH2 CH3 butane
CH3 CH CH CH2 CH3 pent-2-ene
CH3 C CH prop-1-yne (propyne)

Functional group are the reactive part of molecules.

• (4) Numbers are used to give the positions of


functional groups.
Example (Alcohol):
H2
CH3 CH2 C OH propan-1-ol

CH3 C CH3 propan-2-ol

OH
Carbonyl compounds-formulae
Structure carbonyl groups consists of
a carbon-oxygen double bond

the bond is polar due to the


difference in electronegativity

Difference aldehydes - at least one H attached to the carbonyl group

ketones - two carbons attached to the carbonyl group

Aldehydes and ketones with the same number of C


atoms are functional group isomers (CnH2nO)
