Chapter 1 Flashcards
what is the first step in IUPAC
find longest carbon chain that contains highest priority group
What is the second step in IUPAC
number carbon carbon so that the highest priority gets lowest number –> suffix
what is the third step of IUPAC
name each substituents with prefix
what is fourth step of IUPAC
give each substituent a number depending on which carbon its bonded to
what are alkanes
hydrocarbons with no double or triple bonds ; CnH2n+2; -ane
what are alkenes
double bonded hydrocarbons; -ene
what are alkynes
triple bonded hydrocarbons; -yne
what are alcohols
contain hydroxyl group; –ol; hydroxy–
what are diols
contain two hydroxyl groups
what are geminal diols
hydroxyl groups on the same carbon
what are vicinal diols
hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbons
what are aldehydes
carbons with a terminal carbonyl group ; –al ; oxo –
what are common names of aldehydes
formaldehyde (1 carbon)
acetaldehyde (2 carbons)
propionaldehyde ( 3 carbons)
what are ketones
carbons with carbonyl group within chain; –one ; oxo–/keto–
what is the alpha carbon
carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon
