Nomenclature
• The naming of organic molecules
• IUPAC system
• All names have Substituents-MainChain
• Substituents are groups attached to the main chain
• MainChain consists of Parent-Infix-Suffix
• Parent tells you number of carbons in main chain
• Infix tells you if the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds
(saturated molecule) or double or triple bonds (unsaturated
molecules)
• Suffix tells you the functional group of your molecules

Nomenclature
• Consider the molecule 2-hexanol.
• How many carbons in the main chain?
• Saturated or unsaturated?
• What functional group?
• Consider the molecule octanoic acid.
• How many carbons in the main chain?
• Saturated or unsaturated?
• What functional group?
• Consider the molecule 4-methyl-2-pentanamine.
• How many carbons in the main chain?
• Saturated or unsaturated?
• What functional group?
• What is 4-methyl?
Substituents
• Groups off of main chain (branches)
• Parts of larger compounds (not stable by themselves)
• Alkyl groups = Alkane – H
• “-ane” changes to “-yl”
• Methyl
• methane – H
• CH4 – H
• CH3─
• Ethyl
• ethane – H
• CH3CH3 – H
• CH3CH2─
Substituents
• Propane – H gives two possible alkyl groups
• Propyl
• Isopropyl
• Similarly, there are multiple alkyl groups with 4 carbon
atoms, 5 carbon atoms, etc.
Alkyl groups you need to know
• Methyl
• Pentyl (amyl)
• Ethyl
• Isopentyl (isoamyl)
• Propyl

Naming alkanes
1. Find the parent chain
• Longest continuous chain of C atoms
• Name of chain = parent name
• If 2 chains of equal length, parent is the chain with more substituents
2. Number each carbon in the parent chain
• Start from the end closest to the first substituent
• If there are substituents equal distance from both ends, number from
the end nearest the second substituent
Naming alkanes, cont.
3. Name and number substituents
• Name = alkyl group name
• Number = point of attachment to parent chain
• Two substituents on the same C get the same number
4. Write the name as a single word
• Substituents before parent name (include #)
• Separate # and word with hyphen
• Separate two numbers with a comma
• List substituents in alphabetical order
• Multiple identical substituents use prefixes di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa
• DO NOT use sec, tert, di, tri, etc. when alphabetizing
• DO use iso, neo when alphabetizing

Naming Cycloalkanes
• Unsubstituted cycloalkanes:
• Add “cyclo” to the parent name
• Bicycloalkanes
• Two rings
• Most common is norbornane
• Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane
Naming Cycloalkanes
• Substituted cycloalkanes:
• Parent = ring or substituent (whichever has more carbons)
• Number the substituents
• Do not need to show number if only one substituent on a ring
• If two substituents, start with the first alphabetically, number in the
direction of the second substituent
• If more than two substituents, number so that the substituents have the
lowest set of numbers

Cycloalkane Stereoisomers
• Cycloalkanes are roughly planar
• Substituents are either above or below this plane
• Shown with dash and wedges
• Dash = back; wedge = forward
• In a disubstituted cycloalkane, two substituents on the same
side (both back or both forward) are cis. Two substituents on
opposite sides (one back, one forward) are trans.
• Cis and trans versions of the same molecule are stereoisomers
Examples

• Do these pairs represent constitutional isomers, cis-
trans stereoisomers or the same compound?

Alkene Nomenclature
• Similar to alkanes
• Change infix from “-an-” to “-en-”
Naming Alkenes
• For larger alkenes:
1. Parent is longest C chain containing both carbons of C=C
2. Number chain so C=C has lowest possible number
• If the double bond is equidistant from both ends, start numbering at
end nearest the first substituent
• Show location of C=C by first number
• Alkenes with >1 C=C use “-adiene”, “-atriene”, etc. in place of “-ene”
and show location of all double bonds
3. Name and number substituents and write the full name
• Example:

Cycloalkenes
• The carbon atoms of the C=C are numbered 1 and 2

Alkene Stereoisomers
• Cis-trans stereoisomers
• Seen with disubstituted alkenes
• Cis means groups are on the same side of the double
bond; trans means groups are on opposite sides
• Cannot convert through bond rotation
• Example: 2-butene
Examples
• Are the following alkenes cis, trans, or neither?

Alkyne Nomenclature
• Similar to alkenes
• Change infix from “-en-” to “-yn-”
Naming Alkynes
• For larger alkynes:
1. Parent is longest C chain containing both carbons of C≡C
2. Number chain so C≡C has lowest possible number
• If the triple bond is equidistant from both ends, start numbering at
end nearest the first substituent
• Show location of C≡C by first number
• Alkynes with >1 C≡C use “-adiyne”, “-atriyne”, etc. in place of “-yne”
and show location of all double bonds
3. Name and number substituents and write the full name
• Example:
Enyne
• Contains both alkene and alkyne
• Number from end closest to first multiple bond (either
C=C or C≡C) and show both numbers
• If the C=C and C≡C are equidistant from the ends, C=C
gets the lower number

Naming Aromatic Compounds
• Benzene
• Monosubstituted benzenes
• Substituent name + “benzene”
Common Benzene Compounds
Benzene Nomenclature
• If substituent has greater than 6 carbons, it becomes the
parent, and benzene is called a phenyl group
• Benzene substituents:
Disubstituted Benzenes
• ortho (1,2)
• meta (1,3)
• para (1,4)
Naming Disubstituted Benzenes
• If one substituent is part of a common name, that name is
the parent and that substituent is at carbon 1
• If neither substituent is part of a common name, list the
substituents in alphabetical order (first alphabetically is at
carbon 1)
• If both substituents are part of common name, use this
order of priority to determine the parent name:
-CO2H > -CHO > -OH > -NH2 > -CH3
