Appendix D: Nomenclature of Organic Compounds Alkanes C—C CnH2n+2 CH4 methane C2H6 ethane C3H8 propane C4H10 butane C5H12 pentane (cont. with Greek prefixes) Alkenes C==C CnH2n C2H4 ethene C3H6 propene etc. Alkynes CC CnH2n-2 C2H2 ethyne (acetylene) C3H4 propyne etc. Nomenclature: 1) find longest continuous chain name for skeleton 2) branches = alkyl groups (methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc.) or other functional groups 3) position alkyl groups to minimize numbers indicating their position 4) more than one substituent of a kind: di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. The nature of functional groups is given by using specific pre- and suffixes: Compound halides alcohols aldehydes ketones ethers acid esters amines amides Functional group -F, -Cl, -Br, -I R-OH R-CHO R1-CO-R2 R1-O-R2 R-COOH R1-COO-R2 R-NH2 R-CO-NH2 Pre-/suffix “fluoro-“, “chloro-“, “bromo-“, “iodo-“ “-ol” “-al” “-one” “(Rest 1)(Rest 2) ether” (carbon chain) + “-oic acid” (Rest 2) (Rest 1) + “oate” “amino-“ “-amide”
