Unit 2 Flashcards
What are the 5 parts to naming a compound
- Stereoisomer: cis/trans
- Substituents: groups connected to the main chain
- Parent chain
- Unsaturation: double/triple bonds
- Functional Group: group after which the compound is named
What is the suffix used for carboxylic acid
-oic acid
What is the suffix used for ester linkages
-oate
What is the suffix used for aldehydes
-al
What is the suffix used for ketones
-one
What is the suffix used for alcohols
-ol
What is the suffix used for amines
-amine
What is the functional group hierarchy
carboxylic acid, ester, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol, and amine
How do you name a compound with multiple functional groups
the higher priority one is the suffix while the other goes in the prefix
What does it mean for a compound to be unsaturated
It is not bound to four other atoms but has double/triple bonds
How is the presence of double/triple bonds indicated in naming
“en” for double bonds and “yn” for triple bonds
What is the name for one carbon
meth
What is the name for two carbons
eth
What is the name for three carbons
prop
What is the name for four carbons
but
What is the name for five carbons
pent
What is the name for six carbons
hex
What is the name for seven carbons
hept
What is the name for eight carbons
oct
What is the name for nine carbons
non
What is the name for ten carbons
dec
What is the order for finding the longest carbon chain
functional group, double bond, triple bond, substituent
What are the prefixes used for multiple substitutional groups
2: di
3: tri
4: tetra
5: penta
6: hexa
What does cis mean
identical groups are on the same side
