Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the IUPAC (Int'l Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) form of naming organic compounds? |
|
Definition
Substituent Prefix + Locant + Parent + Suffix
(work backwards)
For simple alkanes:
Substituent prefix + parent + ANE |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An alkane that is missing one hydrogen. Not stable itself, but always a part of a larger molecule (parent). |

| What's the second step to naming an alkane? |
|
Definition
| Number the chain from one end to the other Start at the end that will give your substituents the lowest numbers possible. |
|
|
Term
| What's the third step to naming an alkane? |
|
Definition
| Name its substituents, noting the number at which they are located on the parent. |
|
|
Term
| What's the final step to naming an alkane? |
|
Definition
Assemble all the parts.
Substituent + parent + ane |
|
|
Term
| How do you know which substituent goes first in the name? |
|
Definition
| Alphabetical order, ignoring all prefixes aside from "iso" and "neo" |
|
|
Term
| What do you add when your alkane is a ring structure? |
|
Definition
The prefix cyclo- to its parent name.
Rule: if the longest chain and the largest ring are equal, name the ring as the parent.
Ex: cyclohexane |
|
|
Term
| What do you do if your substituent is a ring structure? |
|
Definition
You add the cyclo- prefix to its alkyl group name
Ex: cyclopropyl |
|
