Sources of Alkanes
• Natural gas
– 90 to 95 percent methane
– 5 to 10 percent ethane, and
– a mixture of other low-boiling alkanes, chiefly propane, butane, and 2methylpropane.
• Petroleum
– A thick liquid mixture of thousands of compounds, most of them
hydrocarbons formed from the decomposition of marine plants and
animals.
Alkenes and Alkynes
Alkenes and Alkynes
Saturated compounds (alkanes):
Have the maximum number of hydrogen
atoms attached to each carbon atom.
Unsaturated compounds:
Have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to
the carbon chain than alkanes.
• Containing double bond are alkenes.
CnH2n
• Containing triple bonds are alkynes.
CnH2n-2
Naming Alkenes & Alkynes
Using the IUPAC alkane names:
Alkene names change the end to -ene.
Alkyne names change the end to -yne
Give the location

triple bond

Naming of Aromatic Compounds
When two groups are attached to benzene, the ring is numbered to give
the lower numbers to the substituents.
-
Start numbering from special name (if we have).
If we do not have, number them to get the smallest set of numbers.
Name them by alphabetical order.
