What is unsaturation?
presence of double or triple bonds
single bond
Cyclo - forms a ring of carbons
double bond
triple bond
What is a Parent Chain?
A chain of carbons that become the root of the name of a molecule
Hierarchy for a parent chain
needs to be as long as possible and include:
1. Functional group
2. Double bond
3. Triple bond
Root for a parent chain with 1 carbon
meth
Root for parent chain with 2 carbons
eth
Root for a parent chain with 3 carbons
prop
Root for a parent chain with 4 carbons
but
Root for a parent chain with 5 carbons
pent
Root for a parent chain with 6 carbons
hex
Root for a parent chain with 7 carbons
hept
Root for a parent chain with 8 carbons
oct
Root for a parent chain with 9 carbons
non
Root for a parent chain with 10 carbons
dec
What is a substituent?
Everything else connected to the parent chain that is not the functional group
Used to name carbon substituents
normal chain of 3 carbons
normal chain of 4 carbons
normal chain of 5 carbons
Name of halogens as substituents
Fluoro, Chloro, Bromo, Iodo
What is the name of -OH as a substituent?
-hydroxy-
What is the name of NH2 as a substituent?
-amino-
What is the name of a ketone as a substituent?
-keto-
What is the name of an aldehyde as a substituent?
-aldo-
What is stereoisomerism?
It identifies the configuration of double bonds or chiral centers
atoms have to be the same
atoms have to be the same
used when atoms are different (atom with larger atomic number takes priority on each side of vertical line)
used when atoms are different (atom with larger atomic number takes priority on each side of vertical line)
